Style transfer gets super fast & interactive:

TechCrunch writes,

The latest work from Google Brain, however, makes style transfer almost trivial to compute… Instead of learning the look of a single painting, the new style transfer network learns the style shared by multiple paintings by the same artist. […]

In this case, it’s all being done by one super-efficient neural network that knows and can combine dozens of styles based on lower-level features. That may sound academic, but it’s actually a major step forward — a highly generalizable model.
