# SanaVideoTransformer3DModel
A Diffusion Transformer model for 3D data (video) from [SANA-Video: Efficient Video Generation with Block Linear Diffusion Transformer](https://huggingface.co/papers/2509.24695) from NVIDIA and MIT HAN Lab, by Junsong Chen, Yuyang Zhao, Jincheng Yu, Ruihang Chu, Junyu Chen, Shuai Yang, Xianbang Wang, Yicheng Pan, Daquan Zhou, Huan Ling, Haozhe Liu, Hongwei Yi, Hao Zhang, Muyang Li, Yukang Chen, Han Cai, Sanja Fidler, Ping Luo, Song Han, Enze Xie.
The abstract from the paper is:
*We introduce SANA-Video, a small diffusion model that can efficiently generate videos up to 720x1280 resolution and minute-length duration. SANA-Video synthesizes high-resolution, high-quality and long videos with strong text-video alignment at a remarkably fast speed, deployable on RTX 5090 GPU. Two core designs ensure our efficient, effective and long video generation: (1) Linear DiT: We leverage linear attention as the core operation, which is more efficient than vanilla attention given the large number of tokens processed in video generation. (2) Constant-Memory KV cache for Block Linear Attention: we design block-wise autoregressive approach for long video generation by employing a constant-memory state, derived from the cumulative properties of linear attention. This KV cache provides the Linear DiT with global context at a fixed memory cost, eliminating the need for a traditional KV cache and enabling efficient, minute-long video generation. In addition, we explore effective data filters and model training strategies, narrowing the training cost to 12 days on 64 H100 GPUs, which is only 1% of the cost of MovieGen. Given its low cost, SANA-Video achieves competitive performance compared to modern state-of-the-art small diffusion models (e.g., Wan 2.1-1.3B and SkyReel-V2-1.3B) while being 16x faster in measured latency. Moreover, SANA-Video can be deployed on RTX 5090 GPUs with NVFP4 precision, accelerating the inference speed of generating a 5-second 720p video from 71s to 29s (2.4x speedup). In summary, SANA-Video enables low-cost, high-quality video generation.*
The model can be loaded with the following code snippet.

# Transformer2DModel
A Transformer model for image-like data from [CompVis](https://huggingface.co/CompVis) that is based on the [Vision Transformer](https://huggingface.co/papers/2010.11929) introduced by Dosovitskiy et al. The [`Transformer2DModel`] accepts discrete (classes of vector embeddings) or continuous (actual embeddings) inputs.
When the input is **continuous**:
1. Project the input and reshape it to `(batch_size, sequence_length, feature_dimension)`.
2. Apply the Transformer blocks in the standard way.
3. Reshape to image.
When the input is **discrete**:
> [!TIP]
> It is assumed one of the input classes is the masked latent pixel. The predicted classes of the unnoised image don't contain a prediction for the masked pixel because the unnoised image cannot be masked.
1. Convert input (classes of latent pixels) to embeddings and apply positional embeddings.
2. Apply the Transformer blocks in the standard way.

# UNetMotionModel
The [UNet](https://huggingface.co/papers/1505.04597) model was originally introduced by Ronneberger et al for biomedical image segmentation, but it is also commonly used in 🤗 Diffusers because it outputs images that are the same size as the input. It is one of the most important components of a diffusion system because it facilitates the actual diffusion process. There are several variants of the UNet model in 🤗 Diffusers, depending on it's number of dimensions and whether it is a conditional model or not. This is a 2D UNet model.
The abstract from the paper is:
*There is large consent that successful training of deep networks requires many thousand annotated training samples. In this paper, we present a network and training strategy that relies on the strong use of data augmentation to use the available annotated samples more efficiently. The architecture consists of a contracting path to capture context and a symmetric expanding path that enables precise localization. We show that such a network can be trained end-to-end from very few images and outperforms the prior best method (a sliding-window convolutional network) on the ISBI challenge for segmentation of neuronal structures in electron microscopic stacks. Using the same network trained on transmitted light microscopy images (phase contrast and DIC) we won the ISBI cell tracking challenge 2015 in these categories by a large margin. Moreover, the network is fast. Segmentation of a 512x512 image takes less than a second on a recent GPU. The full implementation (based on Caffe) and the trained networks are available at http://lmb.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/people/ronneber/u-net.*

# UVit2DModel
The [U-ViT](https://hf.co/papers/2301.11093) model is a vision transformer (ViT) based UNet. This model incorporates elements from ViT (considers all inputs such as time, conditions and noisy image patches as tokens) and a UNet (long skip connections between the shallow and deep layers). The skip connection is important for predicting pixel-level features. An additional 3x3 convolutional block is applied prior to the final output to improve image quality.
The abstract from the paper is:
*Currently, applying diffusion models in pixel space of high resolution images is difficult. Instead, existing approaches focus on diffusion in lower dimensional spaces (latent diffusion), or have multiple super-resolution levels of generation referred to as cascades. The downside is that these approaches add additional complexity to the diffusion framework. This paper aims to improve denoising diffusion for high resolution images while keeping the model as simple as possible. The paper is centered around the research question: How can one train a standard denoising diffusion models on high resolution images, and still obtain performance comparable to these alternate approaches? The four main findings are: 1) the noise schedule should be adjusted for high resolution images, 2) It is sufficient to scale only a particular part of the architecture, 3) dropout should be added at specific locations in the architecture, and 4) downsampling is an effective strategy to avoid high resolution feature maps. Combining these simple yet effective techniques, we achieve state-of-the-art on image generation among diffusion models without sampling modifiers on ImageNet.*

# VQModel
The VQ-VAE model was introduced in [Neural Discrete Representation Learning](https://huggingface.co/papers/1711.00937) by Aaron van den Oord, Oriol Vinyals and Koray Kavukcuoglu. The model is used in 🤗 Diffusers to decode latent representations into images. Unlike [`AutoencoderKL`], the [`VQModel`] works in a quantized latent space.
The abstract from the paper is:
*Learning useful representations without supervision remains a key challenge in machine learning. In this paper, we propose a simple yet powerful generative model that learns such discrete representations. Our model, the Vector Quantised-Variational AutoEncoder (VQ-VAE), differs from VAEs in two key ways: the encoder network outputs discrete, rather than continuous, codes; and the prior is learnt rather than static. In order to learn a discrete latent representation, we incorporate ideas from vector quantisation (VQ). Using the VQ method allows the model to circumvent issues of "posterior collapse" -- where the latents are ignored when they are paired with a powerful autoregressive decoder -- typically observed in the VAE framework. Pairing these representations with an autoregressive prior, the model can generate high quality images, videos, and speech as well as doing high quality speaker conversion and unsupervised learning of phonemes, providing further evidence of the utility of the learnt representations.*
Guiders are components in Modular Diffusers that control how the diffusion process is guided during generation. They implement various guidance techniques to improve generation quality and control.
