What the numbers mean
What this model is
SkyReels-A1 was published by Kunlun Inc., in China, in February 2025. It comes out of industry.
It works in Video, and is recorded as doing video generation, Image-to-video.
It builds on CogVideoX, which is why it shares that model's general shape and size.
This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.
Answers
SkyReels-A1 — common questions
How many parameters does SkyReels-A1 have?
