From the model card
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
Running it yourself
Rent a machine by the hour. ComfyUI is installed on it. Open ComfyUI through the tunnel and load the workflow from the model's card on Hugging Face; choose this model's file in its loader.
# on your rented machine (the ssh line is on its page in the console)
# get REPO FILE FOLDER: one file into /workspace/models/FOLDER, where ComfyUI loads it from
get() { hf download "$1" "$2" --local-dir /workspace/hf-files && mkdir -p "/workspace/models/$3" && mv "/workspace/hf-files/$2" "/workspace/models/$3/$4"; }
# the model (2.0 GB)
get ByteDance/BindWeave BindWeave_Wan_14B-model-00014-of-00014.safetensors diffusion_models
start-comfyui# on your computer, in a second terminal: ComfyUI in your browser at http://localhost:8188
# HOST and PORT are your machine's, from its page in the console
ssh -L 8188:localhost:8188 dev@HOST -p PORT
