A detailed wooden toy ship with intricately carved masts and sails is seen gliding smoothly over a plush, blue carpet that mimics the waves of the sea. The ship's hull is painted a rich brown, with tiny windows. The carpet, soft and textured, provides a perfect backdrop, resembling an oceanic expanse. Surrounding the ship are various other toys and children's items, hinting at a playful environment. The scene captures the innocence and imagination of childhood, with the toy ship's journey symbolizing endless adventures in a whimsical, indoor setting.





The camera follows behind a white vintage SUV with a black roof rack as it speeds up a steep dirt road surrounded by pine trees on a steep mountain slope, dust kicks up from it’s tires, the sunlight shines on the SUV as it speeds along the dirt road, casting a warm glow over the scene. The dirt road curves gently into the distance, with no other cars or vehicles in sight. The trees on either side of the road are redwoods, with patches of greenery scattered throughout. The car is seen from the rear following the curve with ease, making it seem as if it is on a rugged drive through the rugged terrain. The dirt road itself is surrounded by steep hills and mountains, with a clear blue sky above with wispy clouds.





A street artist, clad in a worn-out denim jacket and a colorful bandana, stands before a vast concrete wall in the heart, holding a can of spray paint, spray-painting a colorful bird on a mottled wall.





In the haunting backdrop of a war-torn city, where ruins and crumbled walls tell a story of devastation, a poignant close-up frames a young girl. Her face is smudged with ash, a silent testament to the chaos around her. Her eyes glistening with a mix of sorrow and resilience, capturing the raw emotion of a world that has lost its innocence to the ravages of conflict.

Data Explanation

When testing with the diffusers library, the enable_model_cpu_offload() option and pipe.vae.enable_tiling() optimization were enabled. This solution has not been tested on devices other than NVIDIA A100 / H100. Typically, this solution is adaptable to all devices above the NVIDIA Ampere architecture. If the optimization is disabled, memory usage will increase significantly, with peak memory being about 3 times the table value.
The CogVideoX-2B model was trained using FP16 precision, so it is recommended to use FP16 for inference.
For multi-GPU inference, the enable_model_cpu_offload() optimization needs to be disabled.
Using the INT8 model will lead to reduced inference speed. This is done to allow low-memory GPUs to perform inference while maintaining minimal video quality loss, though the inference speed will be significantly reduced.
Inference speed tests also used the memory optimization mentioned above. Without memory optimization, inference speed increases by approximately 10%. Only the diffusers version of the model supports quantization.
The model only supports English input; other languages can be translated to English for refinement by large models.

Note

Using SAT for inference and fine-tuning of SAT version
models. Feel free to visit our GitHub for more information.






Quick Start 🤗


This model supports deployment using the huggingface diffusers library. You can deploy it by following these steps.
We recommend that you visit our GitHub and check out the relevant prompt
optimizations and conversions to get a better experience.

Install the required dependencies

# diffusers>=0.30.1
# transformers>=0.44.0
# accelerate>=0.33.0 (suggest install from source)
# imageio-ffmpeg>=0.5.1
pip install --upgrade transformers accelerate diffusers imageio-ffmpeg


Run the code

import torch
from diffusers import CogVideoXPipeline
from diffusers.utils import export_to_video

prompt = "A panda, dressed in a small, red jacket and a tiny hat, sits on a wooden stool in a serene bamboo forest. The panda's fluffy paws strum a miniature acoustic guitar, producing soft, melodic tunes. Nearby, a few other pandas gather, watching curiously and some clapping in rhythm. Sunlight filters through the tall bamboo, casting a gentle glow on the scene. The panda's face is expressive, showing concentration and joy as it plays. The background includes a small, flowing stream and vibrant green foliage, enhancing the peaceful and magical atmosphere of this unique musical performance."

Quantized Inference


PytorchAO and Optimum-quanto can be used to quantize the Text Encoder, Transformer and VAE modules to lower the memory requirement of CogVideoX. This makes it possible to run the model on free-tier T4 Colab or smaller VRAM GPUs as well! It is also worth noting that TorchAO quantization is fully compatible with torch.compile, which allows for much faster inference speed.
# To get started, PytorchAO needs to be installed from the GitHub source and PyTorch Nightly.
# Source and nightly installation is only required until next release.
