We’ve Been Cooking: Improved Video & Image Face Anonymization Is Here
Today we’re shipping a major stepping-stone upgrade with better occlusion handling, stronger realism, and noticeably improved video stability, including added support for adult creator use cases.
Over the past year, we’ve been building our next-generation all in one flagship anonymization model, and it’s slated for release later in 2026.
But we didn’t want to wait to ship progress.
So today we’re releasing our stepping-stone model update: a meaningful upgrade that improves realism, handles occlusion far better, and makes video outputs noticeably more stable—plus added support for the adult domain.

What’s changing in this release
Better occlusion handling
Occlusion is the technical word for “stuff gets in the way.”
- Handle more extreme angles
- Handle more extreme expressions (improved winking for example)
- Better preservation of objects over the face and in and around the mouth (hands, objects, insertions, etc)
- Improved Eye Gaze
With this model, those moments are less likely to break the image/video output. The face stays more stable, and the model is better at preserving what should be preserved.






More realism
- Expressions that match the original emotion
- Fix teeth and mouth details that look weird
- Consistent skin texture across frames and images
- Lighting that actually belongs in the scene
- Less identity drift when you move
This update is noticeably better at keeping outputs looking like they belong in the original content.






Stronger video stability and consistency
This release is a big step forward on:
- Temporal stability (less flicker)
- Identity consistency
- Motion preservation (your expressions and head movement remain natural)
Added support for the adult domain
Adult content has its own edge cases: more extreme angles, faster movement, different lighting setups, more occlusion, and more dynamic.
This model includes improvements that make it more reliable in adult scenarios, while still following our safety rules and Terms. (And yes—this also benefits plenty of non-adult creators because the underlying challenges overlap.)
How to think about this release vs. our flagship model later in 2026
This update is the model you’ll use right now for better occlusion handling and more stable video.
Our flagship 2026 model is what we’re building toward long-term: a bigger leap, bigger capabilities, and more of the “this changes what creators can do” stuff.
This release is the stepping stone—but it’s not a small one.
