🎯 Distillation

We introduce a new finetuning strategy - Sparse-distill, which jointly integrates DMD and VSA in a single training process. This approach combines the benefits of both distillation to shorten diffusion steps and sparse attention to reduce attention computations, enabling much faster video generation.

📊 Model Overview

We provide two distilled models:

FastWan2.1-T2V-1.3B-Diffusers: 3-step inference, up to 20 FPS on H100 GPU
FastWan2.1-T2V-14B-480P-Diffusers: 3-step inference, up to 50x speed up at 480P, 70x speed up at 720P for denoising loop

Both models are trained on 61×448×832 resolution but support generating videos with any resolution (1.3B model mainly support 480P, 14B model support 480P and 720P, quality may degrade for different resolutions).

🗂️ Dataset

We use the FastVideo 480P Synthetic Wan dataset (FastVideo/Wan-Syn_77x448x832_600k) for distillation, which contains 600k synthetic latents.
