AnimateDiff-Lightning is a lightning-fast text-to-video generation model. It can generate videos more than ten times faster than the original AnimateDiff. For more information, please refer to our research paper: AnimateDiff-Lightning: Cross-Model Diffusion Distillation. We release the model as part of the research. Our models are distilled from AnimateDiff SD1.5 v2. This repository contains checkpoints for 1-step, 2-step, 4-step, and 8-step distilled models. The generation quality of our 2-step, 4-step, and 8-step model is great. Our 1-step model is only provided for research purposes. Try AnimateDiff-Lightning using our text-to-video generation demo. AnimateDiff-Lightning produces the best results when used with stylized base models. We recommend using the following base…

Compatibility and lineage
Language coverage was not reported.
Base-model lineage was not included.
Parameter count is not a RAM/VRAM requirement. Check precision, quantization, context length and runtime compatibility in the model card; no hardware or API-cost claim is inferred here.
Use and evaluate
Check license terms and access requirements first. Review the model card’s documented loading instructions, evaluations and safety limitations. Benchmark scores are not imported by this directory, and popularity is not an accuracy ranking.
No model weights are downloaded or executed by AltAPIs. Never enable remote model code without reviewing it.
