About
BindWeave: Subject-Consistent Video Generation via Cross-Modal Integration
BindWeave is a unified subject-consistent video generation framework for single- and multi-subject prompts, built on an MLLM-DiT architecture that couples a pretrained multimodal large language model with a diffusion transformer. It achieves cross-modal integration via entity grounding and representation alignment, leveraging the MLLM to parse complex prompts and produce subject-aware hidden states that condition the DiT for high-fidelity generation.

BindWeave achieves a solid score of 57.61 on the OpenS2V-Eval benchmark, highlighting its robust capabilities across multiple evaluation dimensions and demonstrating competitive performance against several leading open-source and commercial systems.

How it works
Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys bindweave for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (bindweave below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/videos/generations \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"bindweave","prompt":"a drone shot over a forest"}'
