HunyuanVideo-1.5-480p-FP8

This is an INT8 quantized version of HunyuanVideo-1.5 (480p t2v). <br>

• Optimized for efficient inference with reduced memory footprint: resident 29.9 GB vs 32.6 GB bf16, warm generation 3.6s vs 3.1s bf16, outputs verified finite and non-black. INT8 only: fp8 per-row scales break on this DiT's per-block zero-token regeneration, so fp8 is family-denied in Unsloth Studio. Loading the checkpoint is bit-identical to on-the-fly int8 quantization (video same-seed first-frame LPIPS vs bf16, trajectory divergence over 12 steps: 0.44).

📖 Introduction

We present HunyuanVideo-1.5, a lightweight yet powerful video generation model that achieves state-of-the-art visual quality and motion coherence with only 8.3 billion parameters, enabling efficient inference on consumer-grade GPUs. This achievement is built upon several key components, including meticulous data curation, an advanced DiT architecture with selective and sliding tile attention(SSTA), enhanced bilingual understanding through glyph-aware text encoding , progressive pre-training and post-training, and an efficient video super-resolution network. Leveraging these designs, we developed a unified framework capable of high-quality text-to-video and image-to-video generation across multiple durations and resolutions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that this compact and proficient model establishes a new state-of-the-art among open-source models. By releasing the code and weights of HunyuanVideo-1.5, we provide the community with a high-performance foundation that significantly lowers the cost of video creation and research, making advanced video generation more accessible to all.

✨ Key Features

• Lightweight High-Performance Architecture: We propose an efficient architecture that integrates an 8.3B-parameter Diffusion Transformer (DiT) with a 3D causal VAE, achieving compression ratios of 16× in spatial dimensions and 4× along the temporal axis. Additionally, the innovative SSTA (Selective and Sliding Tile Attention) mechanism prunes redundant spatiotemporal kv blocks, significantly reduces computational overhead for long video sequences and accelerates inference, achieving an end-to-end speedup of $1.87 \times$ in 10-second 720p video synthesis compared to FlashAttention-3.

<div align="center"> <img src="./assets/hy_video_1_5_dit.png" alt="HunyuanVideo-1.5 DiT" width="600"> </div>

• Video Super-Resolution Enhancement: We develop an efficient few-step super-resolution network that upscales outputs to 1080p. It enhances sharpness while correcting distortions, thereby refining details and overall visual texture.

<div align="center"> <img src="./assets/hy_video_1_5_vsr.png" alt="HunyuanVideo-1.5 VSR" width="600"> </div>

• End-to-End Training Optimization: This work employs a multi-stage, progressive training strategy covering the entire pipeline from pre-training to post-training. Combined with the Muon optimizer to accelerate convergence, this approach holistically refines motion coherence, aesthetic quality, and human preference alignment, achieving professional-grade content generation.

📝 Prompt Guide

Prompt Writing Handbook

Prompt enhancement plays a crucial role in enabling our model to generate high-quality videos. By writing longer and more detailed prompts, the generated video will be significantly improved. We encourage you to craft comprehensive and descriptive prompts to achieve the best possible video quality. we recommend community partners consulting our official guide on how to write effective prompts.

Reference: HunyuanVideo-1.5 Prompt Handbook

System Prompts for Automatic Prompt Enhancement

For users seeking to optimize prompts for other large models, it is recommended to consult the definition of t2v_rewrite_system_prompt in the file hyvideo/utils/rewrite/t2v_prompt.py to guide text-to-video rewriting. Similarly, for image-to-video rewriting, refer to the definition of i2v_rewrite_system_prompt in hyvideo/utils/rewrite/i2v_prompt.py.

🔑 Inference

Inference with Source Code

For prompt rewriting, we recommend using Gemini or models deployed via vLLM. This codebase currently only supports models compatible with the vLLM API. If you wish to use Gemini, you will need to implement your own interface calls.

For models with a vLLM API, note that T2V (text-to-video) and I2V (image-to-video) have different recommended models and environment variables:

• T2V: use Qwen3-235B-A22B-Thinking-2507, configure T2V_REWRITE_BASE_URL and T2V_REWRITE_MODEL_NAME
• I2V: use Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Instruct, configure I2V_REWRITE_BASE_URL and I2V_REWRITE_MODEL_NAME

You may set the above model names to any other vLLM-compatible models you have deployed (including HuggingFace models).
Rewriting is enabled by default (--rewrite defaults to true); to disable it explicitly, use --rewrite false or --rewrite 0. If no vLLM endpoint is configured, the pipeline runs without remote rewriting.

Example: Generate a video (works for both T2V and I2V; set IMAGE_PATH=none for T2V or provide an image path for I2V)

💡 Tip: For faster inference speed, you can enable the step-distilled model using the --enable_step_distill parameter. The step-distilled model (480p I2V) can generate videos in 8 or 12 steps (recommended), achieving up to 75% speedup on RTX 4090 while maintaining comparable quality.

Tips: If your GPU memory is > 14GB but you encounter OOM (Out of Memory) errors during generation, you can try setting the following environment variable before running:

export PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=expandable_segments:True,max_split_size_mb:128

Tips: If you have limited CPU memory and encounter OOM during inference, you can try disable overlapped group offloading by adding the following argument:

--overlap_group_offloading false

export T2V_REWRITE_BASE_URL="<your_vllm_server_base_url>"
export T2V_REWRITE_MODEL_NAME="<your_model_name>"
export I2V_REWRITE_BASE_URL="<your_vllm_server_base_url>"
export I2V_REWRITE_MODEL_NAME="<your_model_name>"

🎓 Training

HunyuanVideo-1.5 is trained using the Muon optimizer, which accelerates convergence and improves training stability. The Muon optimizer combines momentum-based updates with Newton-Schulz orthogonalization for efficient optimization of large-scale video generation models.

Quick Start

The training script (train.py) provides a complete training pipeline for HunyuanVideo-1.5. Here's how to use it:

1. Implement Your DataLoader

Replace the create_dummy_dataloader() function in train.py with your own implementation. Your dataset's __getitem__ method should return a single sample.

• Required fields:

  • "pixel_values": torch.Tensor - Video: [C, F, H, W] or Image: [C, H, W]
    • Pixel values must be in range [-1, 1]
    • Note: For video data, temporal dimension F must be 4n+1 (e.g., 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, ...)
  • "text": str - Text prompt for this sample
  • "data_type": str - "video" or "image"

• Optional fields (for performance optimization):

  • "latents": Pre-encoded VAE latents (skips VAE encoding for faster training)
  • "byt5_text_ids" and "byt5_text_mask": Pre-tokenized byT5 inputs

See the create_dummy_dataloader() function in train.py for detailed format documentation.

2. Run Training

Single GPU:

python train.py --pretrained_model_root <path_to_pretrained_model> [other args]

Multi-GPU:

N=8
torchrun --nproc_per_node=$N train.py --pretrained_model_root <path_to_pretrained_model> [other args]

Example:

torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 train.py \
  --pretrained_model_root ./ckpts \
  --learning_rate 1e-5 \
  --batch_size 1 \
  --max_steps 10000 \
  --output_dir ./outputs \
  --enable_fsdp \
  --enable_gradient_checkpointing \
  --sp_size 8

3. Key Training Parameters

4. Monitor Training

• Checkpoints are saved to output_dir at intervals specified by --save_interval
• Validation videos are generated at intervals specified by --validation_interval
• Training logs are printed to console at intervals specified by --log_interval

5. Resume Training

Use --resume_from_checkpoint <checkpoint_dir> to resume from a saved checkpoint:

python train.py \
  --pretrained_model_root <path> \
  --resume_from_checkpoint ./outputs/checkpoint-1000

6. LoRA Fine-tuning

To enable LoRA fine-tuning, add --use_lora to your training command. LoRA adapters will be saved in the checkpoint directory under lora/:

torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 train.py \
  --pretrained_model_root ./ckpts \
  --use_lora \
  --lora_r 8 \
  --lora_alpha 16 \
  --learning_rate 1e-4 \
  --output_dir ./outputs

To load a pretrained LoRA adapter, use --pretrained_lora_path:

torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 train.py \
  --pretrained_model_root ./ckpts \
  --use_lora \
  --pretrained_lora_path ./outputs/checkpoint-1000/lora/default

📊 Evaluation

Rating

We assess text-to-video generation using a comprehensive rating methodology that considers five key dimensions: text-video consistency, visual quality, structural stability, motion effects, and the aesthetic quality of individual frames. For image-to-video generation, the evaluation encompasses image-video consistency, instruction responsiveness, visual quality, structural stability, and motion effects.

---

<div align="center"> <img src="./assets/I2V_Rating.png" alt="rating result of i2v" width="800"> </div>

GSB

The GSB(Good/Same/Bad) approach is widely used to evaluate the relative performance of two models based on overall video perception quality.We carefully construct 300 diverse text prompts and 300 image samples to cover balanced application scenarios for both text-to-video and image-to-video tasks. For each prompt or image input, an equal number of video samples are generated by each model in a single run to ensure comparability. To maintain fairness, inference is performed only once per input without any cherry-picking of results. All competing models are evaluated using their default configurations. The evaluation is conducted by over 100 professional assessors

<div align="center"> <img src="./assets/I2V_GSB.png" alt="gsb result of i2v" width="800"> </div>

Inference speed

We report inference speed with basic engineering-level acceleration techniques enabled on 8 H800 GPUs to demonstrate practical performance achievable in real-world deployment scenarios. Please note that in this experiment, we do not pursue the most extreme acceleration at the cost of generation quality, but rather to achieve notable speed improvements while maintaining nearly identical output quality.

We report the total inference time for 50 diffusion steps for HunyuanVideo 1.5 below:

Quantized transformer checkpoints (this repo)

This repo adds pre-quantized video diffusion transformer checkpoints for hunyuanvideo-community/HunyuanVideo-1.5-Diffusers-480p_t2v (the 480p t2v diffusers mirror of tencent/HunyuanVideo-1.5), built with torchao dynamic activation quantization from the dense bf16 transformer. The official model card above is unchanged from the source repo.

Files:

• HunyuanVideo-1.5-480p-INT8.pt (13.9 GB)

Details:

• int8: Int8DynamicActivationInt8WeightConfig (per-token activation, per-channel weight, torch._int_mm).
• The int8 checkpoint excludes the text-stream and embedder projections (context_embedder, image_embedder, add_q/k/v_proj, to_add_out, ff_context): this MMDiT masks padding text tokens to zero inside every block, and torchao passes those zero-token rows through unprojected (the family recipe measured on the shipping backend).
• No fp8 file ships: fp8 is accuracy-denied for this family in Unsloth Studio.
• Built from the diffusers-format mirror hunyuanvideo-community/HunyuanVideo-1.5-Diffusers-480p_t2v (the loader validates the baked base_model_id against the repo being loaded).
• Loading a checkpoint is bit-identical to quantizing the dense bf16 transformer on the fly; the checkpoint skips the dense download and quantize step. torch 2.10 and torchao 0.17.

Samples

Prompt: "cute sloth typing on a computer" (first frame, family default settings, seeds 0-2).
