Animate Anyone is an open-source framework launched by Alibaba's Institute for Intelligent Computing that animates characters or people in static images. It has garnered nearly 13,000 stars on GitHub and sparked lively discussions both in China and abroad. Built on diffusion models, the framework introduces technologies such as ReferenceNet, the Pose Guider pose guidance module, and temporal generation modules to achieve consistency, controllability, and stability when making photos move, outputting high-quality animated videos. The "Tongyi Dance King" feature in Alibaba's AI chat assistant Tongyi Qianwen is based on this technology, allowing people or characters in photos to dance the Subject 3, shoulder-shaking dance, shuffle dance, and more.
