**Data Explanation**

- When testing with the diffusers library, the `enable_model_cpu_offload()` option and `pipe.vae.enable_tiling()` optimization were enabled. This solution has not been tested for actual VRAM/memory usage on devices other than **NVIDIA A100/H100**. Generally, this solution can be adapted to all devices with **NVIDIA Ampere architecture** and above. If optimization is disabled, VRAM usage will increase significantly, with peak VRAM approximately 3 times the value in the table.
- When performing multi-GPU inference, the `enable_model_cpu_offload()` optimization needs to be disabled.
- Using an INT8 model will result in reduced inference speed. This is done to accommodate GPUs with lower VRAM, allowing inference to run properly with minimal video quality loss, though the inference speed will be significantly reduced.
- The 2B model is trained using `FP16` precision, while the 5B model is trained using `BF16` precision. It is recommended to use the precision used in model training for inference.
- `FP8` precision must be used on `NVIDIA H100` and above devices, requiring source installation of the `torch`, `torchao`, `diffusers`, and `accelerate` Python packages. `CUDA 12.4` is recommended.
- Inference speed testing also used the aforementioned VRAM optimization scheme. Without VRAM optimization, inference speed increases by about 10%. Only models using `diffusers` support quantization.
- The model only supports English input; other languages can be translated to English during large model refinements.

**Note**

+ Using [SAT](https://github.com/THUDM/SwissArmyTransformer)  for inference and fine-tuning of SAT version
  models. Feel free to visit our GitHub for more information.



## Quick Start 🤗

This model supports deployment using the huggingface diffusers library. You can deploy it by following these steps.

**We recommend that you visit our [GitHub](https://github.com/THUDM/CogVideo) and check out the relevant prompt
optimizations and conversions to get a better experience.**

1. Install the required dependencies

```shell
# diffusers>=0.30.1
# transformers>=4.44.2
# accelerate>=0.33.0 (suggest install from source)
# imageio-ffmpeg>=0.5.1
pip install --upgrade transformers accelerate diffusers imageio-ffmpeg 
```

2. Run the code

```python
import torch
from diffusers import CogVideoXPipeline
from diffusers.utils import export_to_video

prompt = "A panda, dressed in a small, red jacket and a tiny hat, sits on a wooden stool in a serene bamboo forest. The panda's fluffy paws strum a miniature acoustic guitar, producing soft, melodic tunes. Nearby, a few other pandas gather, watching curiously and some clapping in rhythm. Sunlight filters through the tall bamboo, casting a gentle glow on the scene. The panda's face is expressive, showing concentration and joy as it plays. The background includes a small, flowing stream and vibrant green foliage, enhancing the peaceful and magical atmosphere of this unique musical performance."

pipe = CogVideoXPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "THUDM/CogVideoX-5b",
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
)

pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()
pipe.vae.enable_tiling()

video = pipe(
    prompt=prompt,
    num_videos_per_prompt=1,
    num_inference_steps=50,
    num_frames=49,
    guidance_scale=6,
    generator=torch.Generator(device="cuda").manual_seed(42),
).frames[0]

export_to_video(video, "output.mp4", fps=8)
```
