Lucy 2.6 Is Out. Your Live Video Booths Already Run It.

Out on the 5th, in every live booth on the 5th

Decart released Lucy 2.6 on 5 November 2026, and announced it as the realtime model for live commerce and engagement. The same day, every photo booth on the Live Style Video mode, our real-time video restyle, was running it. No update to install, no setting to change. If your booth restyled guests on Lucy 2.5 this morning, it restyles them on Lucy 2.6 tonight.

A guest dances in front of a photo booth screen that shows his live anime double in the same pose, a cardboard sign on the frame reads Lucy 2.6 — The idea in one frame: the guest moves, the double on the screen moves with him. Illustration made with GPT Image 2.6 from one selfie; the live feed on a real booth runs on Lucy.

Price stays where it was. Decart kept Lucy 2.6 at the same rate as 2.5, so our per-minute price for live video does not move either.

What Decart changed

Lucy is the model that edits the camera feed while the guest stands in front of the booth: the style, the costume, the background, the object in their hand, all live, with no capture button in between. Decart’s own summary of the new version is short: where 2.5 expanded what realtime editing could do, 2.6 makes it more faithful to what you ask for.

Three things got better:

Characters true to the reference. When a style comes with a reference image, faces, proportions and materials follow it more closely, with better lighting, lip sync and motion.
Clothes keep their fit. Complex outfits and unusual garments hold their shape and detail while the guest moves. For a booth, this is the difference between a costume and a costume that flickers.
Items look like the real thing. Accessories, products and props follow the reference in detail, material and proportions. If your sponsor wants its bottle in the guest’s hand, the bottle looks like the bottle.

The stream is still 720p, and the edits still come from a short written instruction, a reference image, or both. Decart’s prompting guide for 2.6 is worth ten minutes if you write your own styles: name the thing you want changed, describe what is visible, and stop at two or three edits per style.

What changes for you

Nothing, by design. Your style templates, your own prompts and your reference images run as they are, on the Windows app and on the tablet app. The guest still picks a style on the screen and sees themselves change, as before.

One honest note, the same one we give at every model change: if a style was tuned around a quirk of the old model, run it once and look. A prompt that was fighting Lucy 2.5 may now be pushing in the wrong direction, and a reference image that was ignored before may now be followed to the letter.

Real-time virtual try-on is not affected by this release. It runs on Decart’s separate Lucy VTON line, which already follows Decart’s latest version on its own.

How we did it

The model a booth streams through is set on our side, not in the app. When Decart ships, we point the live restyle mode at the new version and every booth, Windows and tablet, picks it up on its next session. On 5 November that was one change, made the day the model came out, and nothing to download for anyone.

That is the reason we keep our own connection to each model provider rather than a middleman: when the provider ships, you get it the same day.
