💻 Breakthrough in Image-to-3D Modeling: TRELLIS.2 on Mac Silicon

TRELLIS.2, a 4 billion parameter image-to-3D model, has been successfully ported to run on Apple Silicon Macs without needing an Nvidia GPU, thanks to PyTorch MPS. By replacing CUDA-specific operations with pure-PyTorch alternatives, the model can now generate 400K vertex meshes from single photos in about 3.5 minutes on an M4 Pro, offering a practical, offline solution with no cloud dependency.
