## Latte: Latent Diffusion Transformer for Video Generation

This repo contains pre-trained weights on FaceForensics, SkyTimelapse, UCF101, and Taichi-HD for our paper exploring latent diffusion models with transformers (Latte). You can find more visualizations on our [project page](https://maxin-cn.github.io/latte_project/).
If you want to obtain text-to-video generation pre-trained weights, please refer to [here](https://huggingface.co./maxin-cn/LatteT2V).

## News
- (🔥 New) May. 23, 2024. 💥 **Latte-1** for Text-to-video generation is released! You can download pre-trained model [here](https://huggingface.co./maxin-cn/LatteT2V/tree/main/transformer_v1). Latte-1 also supports Text-to-image generation, please run bash sample/t2i.sh.

- (🔥 New) Mar. 20, 2024. 💥 An updated LatteT2V model is coming soon, stay tuned!

- (🔥 New) Feb. 24, 2024. 💥 We are very grateful that researchers and developers like our work. We will continue to update our LatteT2V model, hoping that our efforts can help the community develop. Our Latte [discord](https://discord.gg/RguYqhVU92) channel is created for discussions. Coders are welcome to contribute.

- (🔥 New) Jan. 9, 2024. 💥 An updated LatteT2V model initialized with the [PixArt-α](https://github.com/PixArt-alpha/PixArt-alpha) is released, the checkpoint can be found [here](https://huggingface.co./maxin-cn/LatteT2V/tree/main/transformer).

- (🔥 New) Oct. 31, 2023. 💥 The training and inference code is released. All checkpoints (including FaceForensics, SkyTimelapse, UCF101, and Taichi-HD) can be found [here](https://huggingface.co./maxin-cn/Latte/tree/main). In addition, the LatteT2V inference code is provided.
