Why it was saved

  • @notdvb, 18 March 2025: The demo shows the exact flow: pick a Persona (e.g. "Beast", or create a new one named "Muskito" from 10 uploaded images, costing 100 credits), wait while it queues and trains (0% → 47%), then in Recreate paste a YouTube link, set Inspiration Weight (Low/Medium/High), choose the Persona and optional changes, and generate a recreated thumbnail with the trained face — as shown with the MrBeast-style "7 DAYS" Elon Musk thumbnail. Model PKZ-3, Long-Form format, credit-based (10 credits/generation).
