Quick Start

Prompt Optimization

Before running the model, please refer to this guide to see how we use large models like GLM-4 (or other comparable products, such as GPT-4) to optimize the model. This is crucial because the model is trained with long prompts, and a good prompt directly impacts the quality of the video generation.

SAT

Please make sure your Python version is between 3.10 and 3.12, inclusive of both 3.10 and 3.12.

Follow instructions in sat_demo: Contains the inference code and fine-tuning code of SAT weights. It is recommended to improve based on the CogVideoX model structure. Innovative researchers use this code to better perform rapid stacking and development.

Diffusers

Please make sure your Python version is between 3.10 and 3.12, inclusive of both 3.10 and 3.12.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then follow diffusers_demo: A more detailed explanation of the inference code, mentioning the significance of common parameters.

For more details on quantized inference, please refer to diffusers-torchao. With Diffusers and TorchAO, quantized inference is also possible leading to memory-efficient inference as well as speedup in some cases when compiled. A full list of memory and time benchmarks with various settings on A100 and H100 has been published at diffusers-torchao.

Model Introduction

CogVideoX is an open-source version of the video generation model originating from QingYing. The table below displays the list of video generation models we currently offer, along with their foundational information.

Data Explanation

• While testing using the diffusers library, all optimizations included in the diffusers library were enabled. This scheme has not been tested for actual memory usage on devices outside of NVIDIA A100 / H100 architectures. Generally, this scheme can be adapted to all NVIDIA Ampere architecture and above devices. If optimizations are disabled, memory consumption will multiply, with peak memory usage being about 3 times the value in the table. However, speed will increase by about 3-4 times. You can selectively disable some optimizations, including:

pipe.enable_sequential_cpu_offload()
pipe.vae.enable_slicing()
pipe.vae.enable_tiling()

• For multi-GPU inference, the enable_sequential_cpu_offload() optimization needs to be disabled.
• Using INT8 models will slow down inference, which is done to accommodate lower-memory GPUs while maintaining minimal video quality loss, though inference speed will significantly decrease.
• The CogVideoX-2B model was trained in FP16 precision, and all CogVideoX-5B models were trained in BF16 precision. We recommend using the precision in which the model was trained for inference.
• PytorchAO and Optimum-quanto can be used to quantize the text encoder, transformer, and VAE modules to reduce the memory requirements of CogVideoX. This allows the model to run on free T4 Colabs or GPUs with smaller memory! Also, note that TorchAO quantization is fully compatible with torch.compile, which can significantly improve inference speed. FP8 precision must be used on devices with NVIDIA H100 and above, requiring source installation of torch, torchao Python packages. CUDA 12.4 is recommended.
• The inference speed tests also used the above memory optimization scheme. Without memory optimization, inference speed increases by about 10%. Only the diffusers version of the model supports quantization.
• The model only supports English input; other languages can be translated into English for use via large model refinement.

Project Structure

This open-source repository will guide developers to quickly get started with the basic usage and fine-tuning examples of the CogVideoX open-source model.

Quick Start with Colab

Here provide three projects that can be run directly on free Colab T4 instances:

• CogVideoX-5B-T2V-Int8-Colab.ipynb: CogVideoX-5B Quantized Text-to-Video Inference Colab code, which takes about 30 minutes per run.
