How SPREEAI trains the model behind photorealistic virtual try-on
Blog post from Lambda
SPREEAIās virtual try-on system generates photorealistic images of shoppers wearing catalog garments by jointly addressing pose transfer, cloth deformation, identity preservation, and texture and logo fidelity, rather than relying on simple two-dimensional garment warping. After initially using separate models that caused cascading errors, the company consolidated its pipeline into a unified diffusion model trained on high-resolution imagery and validated through identity, texture, and cloth-physics checkpoints, requiring the 80 GB memory capacity of NVIDIA H100 GPUs. Its infrastructure work included high-bandwidth distributed training, stage-aware data sharding, S3-based artifact retention, and MLflow-driven scheduling and observability, which reduced storage costs by more than 30 times, eliminated storage stalls, and raised GPU utilization from roughly 20% to 43%. For production inference, the team found that weight-only INT8 quantization saved memory but did not accelerate tensor-core computation, so it adopted true FP8 linear layers and a Hopper-optimized NVIDIA cuDNN attention kernel; together, these changes reduced denoising latency from up to 3.35 seconds to 1.97 seconds, more than halved peak memory use, and allowed approximately eight to eleven concurrent requests on one H100 GPU. The company plans to extend the system to video try-on, which will require temporal consistency, larger-scale compute and networking, and potentially tensor-parallel training, while also developing visual size prediction and broader commerce applications.
