Use Case:
Research related to autonomous driving; enabling users to generate high-quality driving videos from text, image, or video inputs.
Release Date:

Model Architecture:
Cosmos-Transfer1-7B-Sample-AV-Single2Multiview is a diffusion transformer model designed for video denoising in the latent space. The network is composed of interleaved self-attention, cross-attention and feedforward layers as its building blocks. The cross-attention layers allow the model to condition on input text throughout the denoising process. Before each layer, adaptive layer normalization is applied to embed the time information for denoising. When image or video is provided as input, their latent frames are concatenated with the generated frames along the temporal dimension.
Input/Output Specifications
-
Input
- Input Type(s): Text+Video
- Input Format(s):
- Text: String
- Video: mp4
- Input Parameters:
- Text: One-dimensional (1D)
- Front-view video: Three-dimensional (3D)
- HDMAP/Lidar multi-view control video: Three-dimensional (3D)
- Initial frame multi-view video: Three-dimensional (3D)
- Other Properties Related to Input:
- The input string should contain fewer than 300 words and should provide descriptive content for world generation, such as a scene description, key objects or characters, background, and any specific actions or motions to be depicted within the 2-second duration.
