Apple's "SHARP" for super-quick generating 3DGS from a single image ... https://github.com/apple/ml-sharp "We present SHARP, an approach to photorealistic view synthesis from a single image.

This is done in less than a second on a standard GPU via a single feedforward pass through a neural network.
