Very exciting, I hope this will help open-source hardware-accelerated image upscaling. To get an idea of what image upscaling can do, check out this subreddit dedicated to artificially increasing the resolution of old video game assets to give them a new life: https://www.reddit.com/r/GameUpscale/ Here's eg some personal experiments with the game Baldur's Gate: https://www.reddit.com/r/baldursgate/comments/aemu8u/upscali... - Image in: https://i.imgur.com/xMbqIeo.jpeg - Image out, without human intervention: https://i.imgur.com/nC2o1vM.jpeg The community is using tools such as ESRGAN for that (https://github.com/xinntao/ESRGAN), which leverages GPU acceleration as it uses PyTorch. So far, this upsampling ability was only used in commercial games: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_learning_super_sampling

And some modders online uses ESRGAN to "upscale" game textures, which sometimes leads to impressive results https://github.com/xinntao/ESRGAN
