Speridlabs open-sources Idol: single image to full 3D Gaussian splat in under 2s

pbaylies · x · 2026-11-02

Speridlabs open-sourced Idol, which turns a single image (render, generated image, or photo) into a complete 3D Gaussian splat, automatically removing the background and hallucinating the sides the picture never showed. Key specs: up to 1M Gaussians (1,048,576), 0.66B params, 7.2GB VRAM on consumer GPUs, under 2 seconds per object, standard .ply output.

Apache 2.0 licensed, with a ComfyUI port already available. It pairs with their Iris-3B model for a prompt → image → 3D pipeline. Setup requires accepting gated access to DINOv3 and FLUX.2-dev VAE encoders on Hugging Face; the 3GB weights auto-download on first run.
