Step-Video-T2V

Step-Video-T2V: StepStar's Open-Source Video Generation Model

Features

1. High Parameter Count
   The model has 30 billion parameters, allowing it to capture rich details and complex dynamics when generating videos.

2. Video Generation Capability
   Step-Video-T2V can generate videos up to 204 frames long, making it suitable for various video generation tasks.

3. Deep Compressed Variational Autoencoder (Video-VAE)
   The model employs Video-VAE (Variational Autoencoder) technology, enabling efficient video compression with a 16x16 spatial compression and 8x temporal compression ratio, while maintaining excellent video reconstruction quality.

4. Bilingual Support
   With two bilingual text encoders, Step-Video-T2V can process user inputs in both English and Chinese, expanding its application scope.

5. Denoising Technology
   Using a 3D full-attention DiT (Denoising Image Transformer) model combined with flow-matching technology, Step-Video-T2V effectively removes input noise, generating clear latent frames.

6. Video-Based DPO Method
   The model applies a video-based DPO (Denoising Probabilistic Optimization) method, reducing artifacts in the generated video and enhancing visual quality.

7. Performance Evaluation
   Step-Video-T2V excels on the new video generation benchmark set, Step-Video-T2V-Eval, outperforming many open-source and commercial engines, demonstrating its leading position in text-to-video generation quality.

8. Open Source
   Step-Video-T2V and its evaluation benchmarks are publicly available on GitHub, aiming to foster innovation in video-based models and support video content creators.
