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.

🔥 You can experience Open-Sora on our 🤗 Gradio application on Hugging Face online.
If you want to deploy gradio locally, we have also provided a Gradio application in this repository, you can use the following the command to start an interactive web application to experience video generation with Open-Sora.
pip install gradio spaces
python gradio/app.pyThis will launch a Gradio application on your localhost. If you want to know more about the Gradio applicaiton, you can refer to the Gradio README.
To enable prompt enhancement and other language input (e.g., 中文输入), you need to set the OPENAI_API_KEY in the environment. Check OpenAI's documentation to get your API key.
export OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEYIn the Gradio application, the basic options are as follows:
The easiest way to generate a video is to input a text prompt and click the "Generate video" button (scroll down if you cannot find). The generated video will be displayed in the right panel. Checking the "Enhance prompt with GPT4o" will use GPT-4o to refine the prompt, while "Random Prompt" button will generate a random prompt by GPT-4o for you. Due to the OpenAI's API limit, the prompt refinement result has some randomness.
Then, you can choose the resolution, duration, and aspect ratio of the generated video. Different resolution and video length will affect the video generation speed. On a 80G H100 GPU, the generation speed (with num_sampling_step=30) and peak memory usage is:
| Image | 2s | 4s | 8s | 16s | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 360p | 3s, 24G | 18s, 27G | 31s, 27G | 62s, 28G | 121s, 33G |
| 480p | 2s, 24G | 29s, 31G | 55s, 30G | 108s, 32G | 219s, 36G |
| 720p | 6s, 27G | 68s, 41G | 130s, 39G | 260s, 45G | 547s, 67G |
Note that besides text to video, you can also use image to video generation. You can upload an image and then click the "Generate video" button to generate a video with the image as the first frame. Or you can fill in the text prompt and click the "Generate image" button to generate an image with the text prompt, and then click the "Generate video" button to generate a video with the image generated with the same model.
Then you can specify more options, including "Motion Strength", "Aesthetic" and "Camera Motion". If "Enable" not checked or the choice is "none", the information is not passed to the model. Otherwise, the model will generate videos with the specified motion strength, aesthetic score, and camera motion.
For the aesthetic score, we recommend using values higher than 6. For motion strength, a smaller value will lead to a smoother but less dynamic video, while a larger value will lead to a more dynamic but likely more blurry video. Thus, you can try without it and then adjust it according to the generated video. For the camera motion, sometimes the model cannot follow the instruction well, and we are working on improving it.
You can also adjust the "Sampling steps", this is directly related to the generation speed as it is the number of denoising. A number smaller than 30 usually leads to a poor generation results, while a number larger than 100 usually has no significant improvement. The "Seed" is used for reproducibility, you can set it to a fixed number to generate the same video. The "CFG Scale" controls how much the model follows the text prompt, a smaller value will lead to a more random video, while a larger value will lead to a more text-following video (7 is recommended).
For more advanced usage, you can refer to Gradio README.
The basic command line inference is as follows:
# text to video
python scripts/inference.py configs/opensora-v1-2/inference/sample.py \
--num-frames 4s --resolution 720p --aspect-ratio 9:16 \
--prompt "a beautiful waterfall"You can add more options to the command line to customize the generation.
python scripts/inference.py configs/opensora-v1-2/inference/sample.py \
--num-frames 4s --resolution 720p --aspect-ratio 9:16 \
--num-sampling-steps 30 --flow 5 --aes 6.5 \
--prompt "a beautiful waterfall"For image to video generation and other functionalities, the API is compatible with Open-Sora 1.1. See here for more instructions.
If your installation do not contain apex and flash-attn, you need to disable them in the config file, or via the folowing command.
python scripts/inference.py configs/opensora-v1-2/inference/sample.py \
--num-frames 4s --resolution 720p \
--layernorm-kernel False --flash-attn False \
--prompt "a beautiful waterfall"To enable sequence parallelism, you need to use torchrun to run the inference script. The following command will run the inference with 2 GPUs.
# text to video
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 torchrun --nproc_per_node 2 scripts/inference.py configs/opensora-v1-2/inference/sample.py \
--num-frames 4s --resolution 720p --aspect-ratio 9:16 \
--prompt "a beautiful waterfall"We find that GPT-4o can refine the prompt and improve the quality of the generated video. With this feature, you can also use other language (e.g., Chinese) as the prompt. To enable this feature, you need prepare your openai api key in the environment:
export OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEYThen you can inference with --llm-refine True to enable the GPT-4o prompt refinement, or leave prompt empty to get a random prompt generated by GPT-4o.
python scripts/inference.py configs/opensora-v1-2/inference/sample.py \
--num-frames 4s --resolution 720p --llm-refine TrueView more
Since Open-Sora 1.1 supports inference with dynamic input size, you can pass the input size as an argument.
# text to video
python scripts/inference.py configs/opensora-v1-1/inference/sample.py --prompt "A beautiful sunset over the city" --num-frames 32 --image-size 480 854If your installation do not contain apex and flash-attn, you need to disable them in the config file, or via the folowing command.
python scripts/inference.py configs/opensora-v1-1/inference/sample.py --prompt "A beautiful sunset over the city" --num-frames 32 --image-size 480 854 --layernorm-kernel False --flash-attn FalseSee here for more instructions including text-to-image, image-to-video, video-to-video, and infinite time generation.

To lower the memory usage, set a smaller vae.micro_batch_size in the config (slightly lower sampling speed).
High-quality data is crucial for training good generation models. To this end, we establish a complete pipeline for data processing, which could seamlessly convert raw videos to high-quality video-text pairs. The pipeline is shown below. For detailed information, please refer to data processing. Also check out the datasets we use.
The training process is same as Open-Sora 1.1.

We support evaluation based on:
- Validation loss
- VBench score
- VBench-i2v score
- Batch generation for human evaluation
All the evaluation code is released in eval folder. Check the README for more details. Our report also provides more information about the evaluation during training. The following table shows Open-Sora 1.2 greatly improves Open-Sora 1.0.
| Model | Total Score | Quality Score | Semantic Score |

| Open-Sora V1.2 | 79.23% | 80.71% | 73.30% |
We train a VAE pipeline that consists of a spatial VAE followed by a temporal VAE. For more details, refer to VAE Documentation. Before you run the following commands, follow our Installation Documentation to install the required dependencies for VAE and Evaluation.
If you want to train your own VAE, we need to prepare data in the csv following the data processing pipeline, then run the following commands.
Note that you need to adjust the number of trained epochs (epochs) in the config file accordingly with respect to your own csv data size.
