Vidu
No estimate
No hardware requirements for this model
The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.
On record
Full specification
Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What the numbers mean
What this model is
Vidu was published by Tsinghua University,ShengShu, in the country recorded as China, during April 2024. The publishing organisation is categorised as academia,Industry.
It works in the domain of Video, and is recorded as performing the task of video generation, Text-to-video.
This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.
Answers
Vidu — common questions
Vidu— how many parameters does it have?
No parameter count has been published for it, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.
Vidu— who created it?
It was published by Tsinghua University,ShengShu, based in China, an organisation categorised as academia,Industry.
Vidu— when was it released?
It was published in April 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.
Vidu— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Video, and is recorded as handling the task of video generation, Text-to-video. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.
Vidu— what GPU do I need to run it?
None. This is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.
Vidu— is it open source?
No. Its weights have not been published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
The other direction
Looking at it from the other side?
This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
