⚡️Pyramid Flow⚡️

[Paper] [Project Page ✨] [Code 🚀]

This is the official repository for Pyramid Flow, a training-efficient Autoregressive Video Generation method based on Flow Matching. By training only on open-source datasets, it generates high-quality 10-second videos at 768p resolution and 24 FPS, and naturally supports image-to-video generation.

News

COMING SOON ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Training code and new model checkpoints trained from scratch.
2024.10.10 🚀🚀🚀 We release the technical report, project page and model checkpoint of Pyramid Flow.

Usage

You can directly download the model from Huggingface. We provide both model checkpoints for 768p and 384p video generation. The 384p checkpoint supports 5-second video generation at 24FPS, while the 768p checkpoint supports up to 10-second video generation at 24FPS.

from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

model_path = 'PATH'   # The local directory to save downloaded checkpoint
snapshot_download("rain1011/pyramid-flow-sd3", local_dir=model_path, local_dir_use_symlinks=False, repo_type='model')

To use our model, please follow the inference code in video_generation_demo.ipynb at this link. We further simplify it into the following two-step procedure. First, load the downloaded model:

import torch
from PIL import Image
from pyramid_dit import PyramidDiTForVideoGeneration
from diffusers.utils import load_image, export_to_video

torch.cuda.set_device(0)
model_dtype, torch_dtype = 'bf16', torch.bfloat16   # Use bf16, fp16 or fp32	

model = PyramidDiTForVideoGeneration(
    'PATH',                                         # The downloaded checkpoint dir
    model_dtype,
    model_variant='diffusion_transformer_768p',     # 'diffusion_transformer_384p'
)

model.vae.to("cuda")
model.dit.to("cuda")
model.text_encoder.to("cuda")
model.vae.enable_tiling()

Then, you can try text-to-video generation on your own prompts:

prompt = "A movie trailer featuring the adventures of the 30 year old space man wearing a red wool knitted motorcycle helmet, blue sky, salt desert, cinematic style, shot on 35mm film, vivid colors"

with torch.no_grad(), torch.cuda.amp.autocast(enabled=True, dtype=torch_dtype):
    frames = model.generate(
        prompt=prompt,
        num_inference_steps=[20, 20, 20],
        video_num_inference_steps=[10, 10, 10],
        height=768,     
        width=1280,
        temp=16,                    # temp=16: 5s, temp=31: 10s
        guidance_scale=9.0,         # The guidance for the first frame
        video_guidance_scale=5.0,   # The guidance for the other video latent
        output_type="pil",
    )

export_to_video(frames, "./text_to_video_sample.mp4", fps=24)

As an autoregressive model, our model also supports (text conditioned) image-to-video generation:

image = Image.open('assets/the_great_wall.jpg').convert("RGB").resize((1280, 768))
prompt = "FPV flying over the Great Wall"

with torch.no_grad(), torch.cuda.amp.autocast(enabled=True, dtype=torch_dtype):
    frames = model.generate_i2v(
        prompt=prompt,
        input_image=image,
        num_inference_steps=[10, 10, 10],
        temp=16,
        video_guidance_scale=4.0,
        output_type="pil",
    )

export_to_video(frames, "./image_to_video_sample.mp4", fps=24)

Usage tips:

The guidance_scale parameter controls the visual quality. We suggest using a guidance within [7, 9] for the 768p checkpoint during text-to-video generation, and 7 for the 384p checkpoint.
The video_guidance_scale parameter controls the motion. A larger value increases the dynamic degree and mitigates the autoregressive generation degradation, while a smaller value stabilizes the video.
For 10-second video generation, we recommend using a guidance scale of 7 and a video guidance scale of 5.
