Make-A-Video

Closed weights Meta AI September 2022

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

Where it came from

Make-A-Video was published by Meta AI, in United States of America, in September 2022. It comes out of industry.

It works in Video, and is recorded as doing video generation, Text-to-video.

Because the weights are not available, none of the hardware figures elsewhere on this site apply to it.

Training and provenance

It is tracked in the underlying dataset for one reason in particular: sOTA improvement.

Answers

Make-A-Video — common questions

01

When was Make-A-Video released?

Make-A-Video was published in September 2022. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

02

What is Make-A-Video used for?

Make-A-Video works in Video, and is recorded as handling video generation, Text-to-video. A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.

03

What GPU do I need to run Make-A-Video?

None. Make-A-Video 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.

04

Is Make-A-Video open source?

No. Make-A-Video has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

05

How many parameters does Make-A-Video have?

No parameter count has been published for Make-A-Video, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

06

Who created Make-A-Video?

Make-A-Video was published by Meta AI, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

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.
