Open-Sora: Democratizing Efficient Video Production for All

We design and implement Open-Sora, an initiative dedicated to efficiently producing high-quality video. We hope to make the model, tools and all details accessible to all. By embracing open-source principles, Open-Sora not only democratizes access to advanced video generation techniques, but also offers a streamlined and user-friendly platform that simplifies the complexities of video generation. With Open-Sora, our goal is to foster innovation, creativity, and inclusivity within the field of content creation.

Quickstart

Installation

create a virtual env and activate (conda as an example)

conda create -n opensora python=3.10 conda activate opensora

download the repo

git clone https://github.com/hpcaitech/Open-Sora cd Open-Sora

Ensure torch >= 2.4.0

pip install -v . # for development mode, pip install -v -e . pip install xformers==0.0.27.post2 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121 # install xformers according to your cuda version pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation

Optionally, you can install flash attention 3 for faster speed.

git clone https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention # 4f0640d5 cd flash-attention/hopper python setup.py install

Model Download

Our 11B model supports 256px and 768px resolution. Both T2V and I2V are supported by one model. 🤗 Huggingface 🤖 ModelScope.

Download from huggingface:

pip install "huggingface_hub[cli]" huggingface-cli download hpcai-tech/Open-Sora-v2 --local-dir ./ckpts

Download from ModelScope:

pip install modelscope modelscope download hpcai-tech/Open-Sora-v2 --local_dir ./ckpts

Text-to-Video Generation

Our model is optimized for image-to-video generation, but it can also be used for text-to-video generation. To generate high quality videos, with the help of flux text-to-image model, we build a text-to-image-to-video pipeline. For 256x256 resolution:

Generate one given prompt

torchrun --nproc_per_node 1 --standalone scripts/diffusion/inference.py configs/diffusion/inference/t2i2v_256px.py --save-dir samples --prompt "raining, sea"

Save memory with offloading

torchrun --nproc_per_node 1 --standalone scripts/diffusion/inference.py configs/diffusion/inference/t2i2v_256px.py --save-dir samples --prompt "raining, sea" --offload True

Generation with csv

torchrun --nproc_per_node 1 --standalone scripts/diffusion/inference.py configs/diffusion/inference/t2i2v_256px.py --save-dir samples --dataset.data-path assets/texts/example.csv

For 768x768 resolution:

One GPU

torchrun --nproc_per_node 1 --standalone scripts/diffusion/inference.py configs/diffusion/inference/t2i2v_768px.py --save-dir samples --prompt "raining, sea"

Multi-GPU with colossalai sp

torchrun --nproc_per_node 8 --standalone scripts/diffusion/inference.py configs/diffusion/inference/t2i2v_768px.py --save-dir samples --prompt "raining, sea"

You can adjust the generation aspect ratio by --aspect_ratio and the generation length by --num_frames. Candidate values for aspect_ratio includes 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 2.39:1. Candidate values for num_frames should be 4k+1 and less than 129.

You can also run direct text-to-video by:

One GPU for 256px

torchrun --nproc_per_node 1 --standalone scripts/diffusion/inference.py configs/diffusion/inference/256px.py --prompt "raining, sea"

Multi-GPU for 768px

torchrun --nproc_per_node 8 --standalone scripts/diffusion/inference.py configs/diffusion/inference/768px.py --prompt "raining, sea"

Image-to-Video Generation

Given a prompt and a reference image, you can generate a video with the following command:

256px

torchrun --nproc_per_node 1 --standalone scripts/diffusion/inference.py configs/diffusion/inference/256px.py --cond_type i2v_head --prompt "A plump pig wallows in a muddy pond on a rustic farm, its pink snout poking out as it snorts contentedly. The camera captures the pig's playful splashes, sending ripples through the water under the midday sun. Wooden fences and a red barn stand in the background, framed by rolling green hills. The pig's muddy coat glistens in the sunlight, showcasing the simple pleasures of its carefree life." --ref assets/texts/i2v.png

256px with csv

torchrun --nproc_per_node 1 --standalone scripts/diffusion/inference.py configs/diffusion/inference/256px.py --cond_type i2v_head --dataset.data-path assets/texts/i2v.csv

Multi-GPU 768px

torchrun --nproc_per_node 8 --standalone scripts/diffusion/inference.py configs/diffusion/inference/768px.py --cond_type i2v_head --dataset.data-path assets/texts/i2v.csv

Advanced Usage

Motion Score

During training, we provide motion score into the text prompt. During inference, you can use the following command to generate videos with motion score (the default score is 4):

torchrun --nproc_per_node 1 --standalone scripts/diffusion/inference.py configs/diffusion/inference/t2i2v_256px.py --save-dir samples --prompt "raining, sea" --motion-score 4

We also provide a dynamic motion score evaluator. After setting your OpenAI API key, you can use the following command to evaluate the motion score of a video:

torchrun --nproc_per_node 1 --standalone scripts/diffusion/inference.py configs/diffusion/inference/t2i2v_256px.py --save-dir samples --prompt "raining, sea" --motion-score dynamic

Score	1	4	7

Prompt Refine

We take advantage of ChatGPT to refine the prompt. You can use the following command to refine the prompt. The function is available for both text-to-video and image-to-video generation.

export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxxx torchrun --nproc_per_node 1 --standalone scripts/diffusion/inference.py configs/diffusion/inference/t2i2v_256px.py --save-dir samples --prompt "raining, sea" --refine-prompt True

Reproductivity

To make the results reproducible, you can set the random seed by:

torchrun --nproc_per_node 1 --standalone scripts/diffusion/inference.py configs/diffusion/inference/t2i2v_256px.py --save-dir samples --prompt "raining, sea" --sampling_option.seed 42 --seed 42

Use --num-sample k to generate k samples for each prompt.

Computational Efficiency

We test the computational efficiency of text-to-video on H100/H800 GPU. For 256x256, we use colossalai's tensor parallelism, and --offload True is used. For 768x768, we use colossalai's sequence parallelism. All use number of steps 50. The results are presented in the format: colorbluetextTotaltime(s)/colorredtextpeakGPUmemory(GB)\color{blue}{\text{Total time (s)}}/\color{red}{\text{peak GPU memory (GB)}}colorbluetextTotaltime(s)/colorredtextpeakGPUmemory(GB)

Evaluation

On VBench, Open-Sora 2.0 significantly narrows the gap with OpenAI’s Sora, reducing it from 4.52% → 0.69% compared to Open-Sora 1.2.

Human preference results show our model is on par with HunyuanVideo 11B and Step-Video 30B.

With strong performance, Open-Sora 2.0 is cost-effective.
