MiniSora Community

👋 join us on WeChat

The MiniSora open-source community is positioned as a community-driven initiative organized spontaneously by community members. The MiniSora community aims to explore the implementation path and future development direction of Sora.

• Regular round-table discussions will be held with the Sora team and the community to explore possibilities.
• We will delve into existing technological pathways for video generation.
• Leading the replication of papers or research results related to Sora, such as DiT (MiniSora-DiT), etc.
• Conducting a comprehensive review of Sora-related technologies and their implementations, i.e., "From DDPM to Sora: A Review of Video Generation Models Based on Diffusion Models".

Reproduction Group of MiniSora Community

Sora Reproduction Goals of MiniSora

1. GPU-Friendly: Ideally, it should have low requirements for GPU memory size and the number of GPUs, such as being trainable and inferable with compute power like 8 A100 80G cards, 8 A6000 48G cards, or RTX4090 24G.
2. Training-Efficiency: It should achieve good results without requiring extensive training time.
3. Inference-Efficiency: When generating videos during inference, there is no need for high length or resolution; acceptable parameters include 3-10 seconds in length and 480p resolution.
