Arc2Face

ID-consistent human-face foundation model from Zafeiriou's group (ECCV 2024 Oral; 800★, weights on HF): a Stable Diffusion backbone retrained on WebFace42M to generate from ArcFace identity embeddings, with an active downstream ecosystem (Arc2Avatar, blendshape variants). Derivative backbone, so no parameters recorded; dated by venue (arXiv March 2024). Zafeiriou splits time with Google.
