Running open source video generation models

Open weights change what you can do with a model. You can run it without per-clip fees, keep footage on your own machines, train a LoRA on a character or a style, and chain it with other tools in ComfyUI or the Diffusers library. The cost is hardware and setup: the largest open source video generation models want a GPU with plenty of memory, while distilled and quantised versions trade some quality for speed and smaller cards.

Most of the trending repositories above are not new base models but LoRAs, distillations and quantisations built on a few families such as Wan, HunyuanVideo, LTX-2 and MiniMax H3. The base model column shows what each one was trained from, and the license column tells you whether commercial use is allowed. Read the license on the model card before you ship anything.

For prompting open models, start with the wan 2.2 prompts guide; for closed models compare specs on the AI video model comparison.

How this list of open source video generation models is built

VidoGrid reads the release and commit feeds of the main open model repositories every twenty minutes and keeps the ones that ship something: new weights, new modes, speed-ups, quantised builds. The Hugging Face tables are the most-trending repositories in the text-to-video, image-to-video, text-to-image and image-to-image tasks, refreshed daily.
