Open-Sora: Democratizing Efficient Video Production for All

We design and implement Open-Sora, an initiative dedicated to efficiently producing high-quality video. We hope to make the model,
tools and all details accessible to all. By embracing open-source principles,
Open-Sora not only democratizes access to advanced video generation techniques, but also offers a
streamlined and user-friendly platform that simplifies the complexities of video generation.
With Open-Sora, our goal is to foster innovation, creativity, and inclusivity within the field of content creation.

🔆 New Features/Updates

• 📍 Open-Sora 1.1 released. Model weights are available here. It is trained on 0s~15s, 144p to 720p, various aspect ratios videos. See our report 1.1 for more discussions.
• 🔧 Data processing pipeline v1.1 is released. An automatic processing pipeline from raw videos to (text, video clip) pairs is provided, including scene cutting $\rightarrow$ filtering(aesthetic, optical flow, OCR, etc.) $\rightarrow$ captioning $\rightarrow$ managing. With this tool, you can easily build your video dataset.
• ✅ Improved ST-DiT architecture includes rope positional encoding, qk norm, longer text length, etc.
• ✅ Support training with any resolution, aspect ratio, and duration (including images).
• ✅ Support image and video conditioning and video editing, and thus support animating images, connecting videos, etc.
• 📍 Open-Sora 1.0 released. Model weights are available here. With only 400K video clips and 200 H800
  days (compared with 152M samples in Stable Video Diffusion), we are able to generate 2s 512×512 videos. See our report 1.0 for more discussions.
• ✅ Three-stage training from an image diffusion model to a video diffusion model. We provide the weights for each
  stage.
• ✅ Support training acceleration including accelerated transformer, faster T5 and VAE, and sequence parallelism.
  Open-Sora improves 55% training speed when training on 64x512x512 videos. Details locates
  at acceleration.md.
• 🔧 Data preprocessing pipeline v1.0,
  including downloading, video cutting,
  and captioning tools. Our data collection plan can be found
  at datasets.md.

• ✅ We find VQ-VAE from VideoGPT has a low quality and thus adopt a
  better VAE from Stability-AI. We also find patching in
  the time dimension deteriorates the quality. See our report for more discussions.
• ✅ We investigate different architectures including DiT, Latte, and our proposed STDiT. Our STDiT achieves a better
  trade-off between quality and speed. See our report for more discussions.
• ✅ Support clip and T5 text conditioning.
• ✅ By viewing images as one-frame videos, our project supports training DiT on both images and videos (e.g., ImageNet &
  UCF101). See commands.md for more instructions.
• ✅ Support inference with official weights
  from DiT, Latte,
  and PixArt.
• ✅ Refactor the codebase. See structure.md to learn the project structure and how to use the
  config files.

Model Weights

Open-Sora 1.1 Model Weights

Resolution	Model Size	Data	#iterations	Batch Size	URL
mainly 144p & 240p	700M	10M videos + 2M images	100k	dynamic	:link:
144p to 720p	700M	500K HQ videos + 1M images	4k	dynamic	:link:

See our report 1.1 for more infomation.

⚠️ LIMITATION: This version contains known issues which we are going to fix in the next version (as we save computation resource for the next release). In addition, the video generation may fail for long duration, and high resolution will have noisy results due to this problem.

Open-Sora 1.0 Model Weights

| Resolution | Model Size | Data | #iterations | Batch Size | GPU days (H800) | URL |
| ---------- | ---------- | ------ | ----------- | ---------- | --------------- |
| 16×512×512 | 700M | 20K HQ | 20k | 2×64 | 35 | :link: |

| 16×256×256 | 700M | 366K | 80k | 8×64 | 117 | :link: |

Training orders: 16x256x256 $\rightarrow$ 16x256x256 HQ $\rightarrow$ 16x512x512 HQ.

Our model's weight is partially initialized from PixArt-α. The number of
parameters is 724M. More information about training can be found in our report. More about
the dataset can be found in datasets.md. HQ means high quality.

⚠️ LIMITATION: Our model is trained on a limited budget. The quality and text alignment is relatively poor.
The model performs badly, especially on generating human beings and cannot follow detailed instructions. We are working
on improving the quality and text alignment.

Inference

Gradio Demo

🔥 You can experience Open-Sora on our 🤗 Gradio application on Hugging Face online.

If you want to deploy gradio locally, we have also provided a Gradio application in this repository, you can use the following the command to start an interactive web application to experience video generation with Open-Sora.

pip install gradio spaces
python gradio/app.py

This will launch a Gradio application on your localhost. If you want to know more about the Gradio applicaiton, you can refer to the README file.

Open-Sora 1.1 Command Line Inference

Since Open-Sora 1.1 supports inference with dynamic input size, you can pass the input size as an argument.

# text to video
python scripts/inference.py configs/opensora-v1-1/inference/sample.py \
    --ckpt-path CKPT_PATH --prompt "A beautiful sunset over the city" --num-frames 32 --image-size 480 854

See here for more instructions including text-to-image, image-to-video, video-to-video, and infinite time generation.

Open-Sora 1.0 Command Line Inference

We have also provided an offline inference script. Run the following commands to generate samples, the required model weights will be automatically downloaded. To change sampling prompts, modify the txt file passed to --prompt-path. See here to customize the configuration.

# Sample 16x512x512 (20s/sample, 100 time steps, 24 GB memory)
torchrun --standalone --nproc_per_node 1 scripts/inference.py configs/opensora/inference/16x512x512.py --ckpt-path OpenSora-v1-HQ-16x512x512.pth --prompt-path ./assets/texts/t2v_samples.txt

# Sample 16x256x256 (5s/sample, 100 time steps, 22 GB memory)
torchrun --standalone --nproc_per_node 1 scripts/inference.py configs/opensora/inference/16x256x256.py --ckpt-path OpenSora-v1-HQ-16x256x256.pth --prompt-path ./assets/texts/t2v_samples.txt

# Sample 64x512x512 with sequence parallelism (30s/sample, 100 time steps)
# sequence parallelism is enabled automatically when nproc_per_node is larger than 1
torchrun --standalone --nproc_per_node 2 scripts/inference.py configs/opensora/inference/64x512x512.py --ckpt-path ./path/to/your/ckpt.pth --prompt-path ./assets/texts/t2v_samples.txt

The speed is tested on H800 GPUs. For inference with other models, see here for more instructions.
To lower the memory usage, set a smaller vae.micro_batch_size in the config (slightly lower sampling speed).

Data Processing

High-quality data is crucial for training good generation models.
To this end, we establish a complete pipeline for data processing, which could seamlessly convert raw videos to high-quality video-text pairs.
The pipeline is shown below. For detailed information, please refer to data processing.
Also check out the datasets we use.
