Catnip just dropped MaineCoon， a 22B real-time audio-visual foundation model that turns text prompts into a live character stream with synced speech， motion， and expression.

The first streaming-native model of its kind.

sub-second first frame， 47.5FPS on one H100， 30FPS on one RTX Pro 6000， and about 7x faster throughput than comparable audio-visual systems in its internal tests.

The big deal is that a normal video generator can wait， revise， and render a finished clip， but a social interface has to move causally， remember its own imperfect past， and stay ahead of playback without breaking identity， voice， or rhythm.
