## Before you run

The generated commands expect a local clone:

    git clone https://github.com/hao-ai-lab/FastVideo.git
    cd FastVideo

Use [Configuration](../inference/configuration.md) for supported Python and
CLI settings, [Optimizations](../inference/optimizations.md) for attention and
memory tradeoffs, and the [support matrix](../inference/support_matrix.md) for
the supported model and optimization surface.

## Troubleshooting

- FLUX.1 dev defaults to a local `official_weights/FLUX.1-dev` directory in the example; the cookbook command passes the Hugging Face ID explicitly instead.
- Image outputs land under `outputs/`; adjust `--output` if that path is not writable.
- Gated checkpoints (FLUX.1 dev): run `huggingface-cli login` and accept the license on Hugging Face first.

## Evidence status

All recipes on this page are **Source-backed**: their commands, model IDs, and flags were validated against the checked-in FastVideo sources listed above (static validation). No runtime GPU validation is recorded for these recipes, so GPU model fit, memory use, throughput, and runtime duration are **Unknown** and deliberately not claimed. Runtime buttons show only the GPU counts configured in checked-in sources.
