You can now generate AI videos with just 6GB of VRAM

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years.TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust In brief: AI video generation may soon no longer be limited to expensive subscriptions or high-powered servers. Thanks to a recent breakthrough, even a gaming laptop could generate full-length AI videos. The breakthrough comes from Lvmin Zhang of GitHub and Maneesh Agrawala of Stanford University. The duo developed FramePack, a neural network architecture that enables high-quality video diffusion with as little as 6GB of VRAM. This is a significant achievement, especially given the model's size – 13 billion parameters – which allows it to generate full 60-second clips at 30 FPS using only a mid-range GPU. The key lies in how FramePack operates. Traditional video diffusion models rely on previously generated frames to predict the next one. As the video length increases, so does the "temporal context" – the number of past frames the model must consider – resulting in higher memory demands. ... Read full article.
