Idol is a 0.66B-parameter diffusion model from Speridlabs Research that converts one image into a 3D object represented as Gaussians (a Gaussian splat). The input can be a photograph, a render, or an image generated by Speridlabs' Iris-3B model. The output can be viewed from all sides, including angles the input image did not show.
Objects can be generated at several levels of detail, from 32,768 to 1,048,576 Gaussians. The model runs in under 8 GB of GPU memory. According to the project page, one image becomes 262,144 Gaussians in 3.4 s on a B300 and 6.7 s on an H100 at 50 steps. The same task takes 19.1 s on an RTX 4090 and 46.2 s on an RTX 3080.
The project page reports a benchmark against TripoSplat, TRELLIS and LGM on one H100. Idol scores best on most metrics, including LPIPS, IoU, DINOv2 and sharpness distance. LGM has the highest input-view PSNR and the fastest request time. A YouTube review says code and models have been released, but no repository, weights link or license appeared in the material provided, so these details are unconfirmed.
