๐ Usage
LightX2V is a high-performance inference framework optimized for these models, approximately 2x faster than ComfyUI with better quantization accuracy. Highly recommended!
Quick Start
- Download model (720P I2V FP8 example)
huggingface-cli download lightx2v/Wan2.1-Distill-Models \
--local-dir ./models/wan2.1_i2v_720p \
--include "wan2.1_i2v_720p_scaled_fp8_e4m3_lightx2v_4step.safetensors"
- Clone LightX2V repository
git clone https://github.com/ModelTC/LightX2V.git
cd LightX2V
- Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
Or refer to Quick Start Documentation to use docker

โ ๏ธ Important Notes
-
Additional Components: These models only contain DIT weights. You also need:
- T5 text encoder
- CLIP vision encoder
- VAE encoder/decoder
- Tokenizers
