CogVideoX: Text-to-Video Diffusion Models with An Expert Transformer from Tsinghua University & ZhipuAI.

The abstract from the paper is:

We introduce CogVideoX, a large-scale diffusion transformer model designed for generating videos based on text prompts. To efficently model video data, we propose to levearge a 3D Variational Autoencoder (VAE) to compresses videos along both spatial and temporal dimensions. To improve the text-video alignment, we propose an expert transformer with the expert adaptive LayerNorm to facilitate the deep fusion between the two modalities. By employing a progressive training technique, CogVideoX is adept at producing coherent, long-duration videos characterized by significant motion. In addition, we develop an effectively text-video data processing pipeline that includes various data preprocessing strategies and a video captioning method. It significantly helps enhance the performance of CogVideoX, improving both generation quality and semantic alignment. Results show that CogVideoX demonstrates state-of-the-art performance across both multiple machine metrics and human evaluations. The model weight of CogVideoX-2B is publicly available at https://github.com/THUDM/CogVideo.

Make sure to check out the Schedulers guide to learn how to explore the tradeoff between scheduler speed and quality, and see the reuse components across pipelines section to learn how to efficiently load the same components into multiple pipelines.

Inference

Use torch.compile to reduce the inference latency.

First, load the pipeline:

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

pipe = CogVideoXPipeline.from_pretrained("THUDM/CogVideoX-2b").to("cuda")
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."
)
video = pipe(prompt=prompt, guidance_scale=6, num_inference_steps=50).frames[0]
export_to_video(video, "output.mp4", fps=8)

Then change the memory layout of the pipelines transformer and vae components to torch.channels-last:

pipeline.transformer.to(memory_format=torch.channels_last)
pipeline.vae.to(memory_format=torch.channels_last)

Finally, compile the components and run inference:

pipeline.transformer = torch.compile(pipeline.transformer)
pipeline.vae.decode = torch.compile(pipeline.vae.decode)

# CogVideoX works very well with long and well-described prompts
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."
video = pipeline(prompt=prompt, guidance_scale=6, num_inference_steps=50).frames[0]

The [benchmark](TODO: link) results on an 80GB A100 machine are:

Without torch.compile(): Average inference time: TODO seconds.
With torch.compile(): Average inference time: TODO seconds.
