Optimizing an open-source model using chunking, caching, and distributed processing for low-latency performance. . Building a custom viseme-to-image mapper with real-time interpolation and similar optimizations for smooth, frame-accurate animation. . Evaluating third-party solutions, but ultimately choosing in-house development due to cost and performance limitations.
