Evidence claims

[upstream_claim] README: diffusion model for video inpainting that the authors say outperforms ProPainter in content completeness and temporal consistency with acceptable efficiency; inference code released 2025-01-20, training code 2025-03-26. · locator: README, intro and news source
[sourced_fact] README setup: pretrained models are downloaded to ./weights from Hugging Face (lixiaowen/diffuEraser) or ModelScope; also needs stable-diffusion-v1-5 (full folder over 30 GB) and PCM_Weights. · locator: README, Installation source
[sourced_fact] GitHub metadata: Apache-2.0, not archived, last push 2025-04-17. · locator: repository metadata source
[upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
