HunyuanVideopro
HunyuanVideo is Tencent's flagship open-source video foundation model (December 2024) — at 13 billion parameters, it's the largest open video model available. Cinema-quality text-to-video, image-to-video, 720p output, with strong physics, camera motion control, and prompt adherence.
// What it is
A closer look.
HunyuanVideo is Tencent's flagship open-source video foundation model (December 2024) — at 13 billion parameters, it's the largest open video model available. Cinema-quality text-to-video, image-to-video, 720p output, with strong physics, camera motion control, and prompt adherence.
The "premium quality" pillar of open video AI, competing with OpenAI Sora and Kling.

// Tips & operations
Run it properly.
Operational guidance from running this in production — what to lock down, what surprises people.
// PERFORMANCE
VRAM required
60+ GB single-card OR 2× 24GB cards via splitting
// SECURITY
Lower-VRAM
fp8 quantized community fork works on 24 GB
// OPERATIONS
First boot
model weights ~50 GB download — 30-60 min over fast network
// RELIABILITY
Speed
15-25 min per 5s video on dual RTX 4090; faster on H100
// DEPLOYMENT
Detailed prompts
complex scene descriptions yield best results
// SCALING
Camera language
"camera slowly orbits...", "dolly forward into the scene"
// MAINTENANCE
Subject prompts
describe scene STATE, not actions ("water flowing" not "water flows")
// COSTS
Production
dedicated GPU server; not for shared multi-user without queue management
