Abstract
In this technical report, we present Magic 1-For-1 (Magic141), an efficient
video generation model with optimized memory consumption and inference latency.
The key idea is simple: factorize the text-to-video generation task into two
separate easier tasks for diffusion step distillation, namely text-to-image
generation and image-to-video generation. We verify that with the same
optimization algorithm, the image-to-video task is indeed easier to converge
over the text-to-video task. We also explore a bag of optimization tricks to
reduce the computational cost of training the image-to-video (I2V) models from
three aspects: 1) model convergence speedup by using a multi-modal prior
condition injection; 2) inference latency speed up by applying an adversarial
step distillation, and 3) inference memory cost optimization with parameter
sparsification. With those techniques, we are able to generate 5-second video
clips within 3 seconds. By applying a test time sliding window, we are able to
generate a minute-long video within one minute with significantly improved
visual quality and motion dynamics, spending less than 1 second for generating
1 second video clips on average. We conduct a series of preliminary
explorations to find out the optimal tradeoff between computational cost and
video quality during diffusion step distillation and hope this could be a good
foundation model for open-source explorations. The code and the model weights
