We present Open-Sora, an initiative dedicated to efficiently produce high-quality video and make the model, tools and contents 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 production. With Open-Sora, we aim to inspire innovation, creativity, and inclusivity in the realm of content creation. [中文]
- [2024.03.18] 🔥 We release Open-Sora 1.0, a fully open-source project for video generation.
Open-Sora 1.0 supports a full pipeline of video data preprocessing, training with
acceleration,
inference, and more. Our provided checkpoints can produce 2~5s 512x512 videos with only 3 days training. - [2024.03.04] Open-Sora provides training with 46% cost reduction.

[...] The video is a time-lapse, capturing the transition from day to night, with the lake and forest serving as a constant backdrop. | A soaring drone footage captures the majestic beauty of a coastal cliff, [...] The water gently laps at the rock base and the greenery that clings to the top of the cliff. | The majestic beauty of a waterfall cascading down a cliff into a serene lake. [...] The camera angle provides a bird's eye view of the waterfall. |

- 📍 Open-Sora-v1 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.
- ✅ Three stages 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 improve 55% training speed when training on 64x512x512 videos. Details locates at acceleration.md.
- ✅ We provide video cutting and captioning tools for data preprocessing. Instructions can be found here and 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 command.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.
- Complete the data processing pipeline (including dense optical flow, aesthetics scores, text-image similarity, deduplication, etc.). See datasets.md for more information. [WIP]
- Training Video-VAE. [WIP]

- Support image and video conditioning.
- Evaluation pipeline.
- Incoporate a better scheduler, e.g., rectified flow in SD3.
- Support variable aspect ratios, resolutions, durations.
- Support SD3 when released.

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 dataset can be found in dataset.md. HQ means high quality.
To run inference with our provided weights, first download T5 weights into pretrained_models/t5_ckpts/t5-v1_1-xxl. Then download the model weights. Run the following commands to generate samples. See here to customize the configuration.
