Topaz Labs has introduced six new AI models for image and video enhancement, marking the largest release in its history, announced in a press release. The collection, called the Next Gen models, includes four image enhancement models and two video models available across five of the company’s applications.

The image models are Wonder 3, Denoise Max, Super Focus 3, and High Fidelity 3. These are available in the Topaz Photo desktop app and through an API, with Wonder 3 and Denoise Max also accessible via the web based Express tool. For video, the company released Starlight Precise 2.5 and Astra 2. Starlight Precise 2.5 is available locally in the Topaz Video desktop app, while Astra 2 and both video models can also be used via cloud rendering and API.

All six models make use of Topaz NeuroStream, the company’s proprietary technology that reduces VRAM usage by up to 95 percent. This system enables complex AI models to run locally on consumer hardware rather than relying on cloud processing. The company stated that this release represents a major step toward expanding access to local AI powered image and video enhancement.
