**LightX2V** is a lightweight video generation inference framework designed to provide an inference tool that leverages multiple advanced video generation inference techniques. As a unified inference platform, this framework supports various generation tasks such as text-to-video (T2V) and image-to-video (I2V) across different models. **X2V means transforming different input modalities (such as text or images) to video output.**
**LightX2V** is an advanced lightweight video generation inference framework engineered to deliver efficient, high-performance video synthesis solutions. This unified platform integrates multiple state-of-the-art video generation techniques, supporting diverse generation tasks including text-to-video (T2V) and image-to-video (I2V). **X2V represents the transformation of different input modalities (X, such as text or images) into video output (V)**.
## 🚀 Core Features
## 💡 How to Start
### 🎯 **Ultimate Performance Optimization**
-**🔥 SOTA Inference Speed**: Achieve **~15x** acceleration through step distillation and operator optimization
-**⚡️ Revolutionary 4-Step Distillation**: Compress original 40-50 step inference to just 4 steps without CFG requirements
-**🛠️ Advanced Operator Support**: Integrated with cutting-edge operators including [Sage Attention](https://github.com/thu-ml/SageAttention), [Flash Attention](https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention), [Radial Attention](https://github.com/mit-han-lab/radial-attention), [q8-kernel](https://github.com/KONAKONA666/q8_kernels), [sgl-kernel](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/tree/main/sgl-kernel), [vllm](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm)
