Welcome to the SkyReels V2 repository! Here, you'll find the model weights for our infinite-length film generative models. To the best of our knowledge, it represents the first open-source video generative model employing AutoRegressive Diffusion-Forcing architecture that achieves the SOTA performance among publicly available models.
The demos above showcase 30-second videos generated using our SkyReels-V2 Diffusion Forcing model.
Wan can run directly using 🤗 Diffusers!

The Diffusion Forcing version model allows us to generate Infinite-Length videos. This model supports both text-to-video (T2V) and image-to-video (I2V) tasks, and it can perform inference in both synchronous and asynchronous modes. Here we demonstrate 2 running scripts as examples for long video generation. If you want to adjust the inference parameters, e.g., the duration of video, inference mode, read the Note below first.

Note:
- If you want to run the image-to-video (I2V) task, add
--image ${image_path}to your command and it is also better to use text-to-video (T2V)-like prompt which includes some descriptions of the fir

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys skyreels-df-540p for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (skyreels-df-540p 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":"skyreels-df-540p","prompt":"a drone shot over a forest"}'
