03RESEARCH & INNOVATION

SWAP ANYTHING

SwapAnything is a new algorithm that can replace things in a picture with other things you choose, without changing the rest of the picture. It's better than other tools because it can swap any object, not just the main subject, and it's really good at making the new object fit perfectly into the original picture. It uses inversion, concept vectors, and a pretrained diffusion model.
