Video Vchitect Image→video 1 build Licence not stated 0 dl/mo

LongVie2 is an open-weight video model from Vchitect. LongVie2 (BF16) weighs 13.7 GB; the smallest configuration that runs it is RTX 3060 12 GB.

  • LongVie2 is an image-to-video model developed by Vchitect that functions as a multimodal controllable world model for generating ultra-long videos.
  • It utilizes depth and pointmap control signals within an end-to-end autoregressive framework to enhance controllability, long-term visual quality, and temporal consistency.
  • The model supports English and is built upon the Wan2.1-I2V-14B-480P base model.

From the model card

What Vchitect says about LongVie2

Read the model card

LongVie 2 is a multimodal controllable world model for generating ultra-long videos with depth and pointmap control signals, as presented in the paper LongVie 2: Multimodal Controllable Ultra-Long Video World Model. It is an end-to-end autoregressive framework trained to enhance controllability, long-term visual quality, and temporal consistency.

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

To get started with LongVie 2, follow the installation steps from the GitHub repository:

conda create -n longvie python=3.10 -y
conda activate longvie
conda install psutil
pip install torch==2.5.1 torchvision==0.20.1 torchaudio==2.5.1 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
python -m pip install ninja
python -m pip install git+https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention.git@v2.7.2.post1
cd LongVie
pip install -e .

Download Weights

  1. Download the base model Wan2.1-I2V-14B-480P:
python download_wan2.1.py
  1. Download the LongVie2 weights and place them in ./model/LongVie/

Inference

Generate a 5s video clip (~8-9 mins on a single A100 GPU) using the following command:

bash sample_longvideo.sh

How it works

How video models work

Prompt / imagestart pointTemporal diffusionframes over timeVideoMP4 clipA video model generates a sequence of coherent frames from your prompt or a starting image.

Running it yourself

Run it on a rented GPU

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 (7.8 GB)
