About HunyuanVideo-1.5

HunyuanVideo-1.5 is Tencent's open video model for text-to-video and image-to-video. It runs on consumer NVIDIA GPUs with 14 GB of memory and offloading turned on. You get 480p and 720p clips, plus a super-resolution step that reaches 1080p. Linux only, and some weights are still coming soon.

Best for: Developers and creators who want an open video model on their own GPU for short-drama shots.

What it does

  • Generates 480p and 720p video from text or a single image
  • Runs on consumer NVIDIA GPUs with 14 GB memory and offloading
  • Upscales results to 1080p with a few-step super-resolution model
  • Speeds up 480p image-to-video with a step-distilled model (8 or 12 steps)
  • Cuts render time with cache options (deepcache, teacache, taylorcache) and fp8
  • Trains and fine-tunes with LoRA, FSDP and the Muon optimizer
