A reference image to dress up the live stream with Lucy 2.6

For live streams, Lucy 2.6 improves, according to Decart, the fidelity of characters, clothing, and transformed products in the video stream.

During a live presentation, Lucy 2.6 can modify the clothing worn on screen, add a product into the background, or transform the appearance of the person being filmed. The presenter continues moving and interacting with their audience while the video stream is being reworked. These uses are aimed at live sellers, streamers, and creators who evolve their staging during the broadcast.

The update presented by Decart focuses on the fidelity of the result. Following the editing possibilities introduced with Lucy 2.5, this version is meant to better respect the references provided, whether it is a face, an outfit, or an object. The announced progress concerns what remains recognizable when the person and the camera move. References to preserve during movement

For characters, the editor announces faces, proportions, and materials that are closer to the reference image. This applies to both photorealistic appearances and animated characters. Lighting and lip synchronization are also among the highlighted improvements.

Clothing is another area of work. Complex or unusual outfits are supposed to better preserve their cut and details throughout the stream. In the commercial scenario described by Decart, a presenter can display one catalog item on themselves, then switch to the next while continuing to interact with viewers.

The addition of accessories and products follows the same logic: preserving the proportions, materials, and details of the reference in the scene. The product can appear in a hand or on the set without being physically present. It is then a representation generated from the provided elements, rather than a filmed manipulation of the real object. An instruction that changes during the broadcast

The Lucy 2.6 documentation provides for text instructions, a reference image, or a combination of the two. Several modifications can be grouped into a single instruction, for example a change of character and setting. Each request remains limited to one reference image.

This image can be replaced during the session without reconnecting the stream. The system is therefore suitable for a succession of transformations: presenting another outfit, changing an accessory, or adopting the appearance of a character. Among the suggested uses is also responding to audience requests, when a viewer asks for an effect during the live stream.

The output is announced at 720p, with horizontal and vertical orientations. The platform also distinguishes between continuous camera processing and editing of already recorded videos. An tool that prepares a clip and an application that transforms a live stream thus use two different processing modes. Unchanged pricing, billed during generation

Access is open on the Decart platform, with an interface to try the model. For integrations, the model list indicates that the “lucy-latest” alias now points to version 2.6. Version 2.5 remains selectable separately.

The published pricing keeps live mode at $0.02 per second in standard mode, or $1.20 for one minute of active generation. Fast mode rises to $0.04 per second, or $2.40 per minute. According to the documentation, this surcharge is intended to provide lower latency and higher throughput, with unchanged output quality.

Editing recorded videos is billed at $0.04 per second produced. The cost of a processed file should therefore not be calculated automatically using the standard live-stream rate. Continuity works better when the scene stays stable

For long sessions, the model can reuse its own recent images as an additional anchor. This mechanism, enabled by default, is intended to limit involuntary changes in appearance over time.

The documentation states that it works best in a coherent scene. If another person enters the frame or if the source switches to a different scene, the model may continue using a previous image that has become unsuitable. In such situations, Decart recommends disabling this mechanism; the change requires reconnecting the session.
