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.

Training compute

The arithmetic performed to train the model, measured in floating-point operations. It is a measure of what the training run cost, not of how fast the finished model answers you.

What the numbers mean

What this model is

Movie Gen Video was published by Meta AI, in United States of America, in October 2024. It comes out of industry.

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

This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.

How it was trained

Producing it required around 1.7 × 10²⁴ FLOP of arithmetic, on NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB, which is a statement about the training budget rather than about inference.

It was trained on about 3,400,000,000 tokens of text.

Its inclusion criterion is training cost.

Answers

Movie Gen Video — common questions

01

How many parameters does Movie Gen Video have?

Movie Gen Video has 30B parameters. 30B. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.

02

Who created Movie Gen Video?

Movie Gen Video was published by Meta AI, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

03

When was Movie Gen Video released?

Movie Gen Video was published in October 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.

04

What is Movie Gen Video used for?

Movie Gen Video works in Video, Vision, and is recorded as handling video generation, Text-to-video, Image-to-video. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

05

How much compute was used to train Movie Gen Video?

Around 1.7 × 10²⁴ FLOP, on NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB. That measures what producing the model cost and says nothing about how quickly it answers once trained — inference speed comes from memory bandwidth, not from the training budget.

06

What GPU do I need to run Movie Gen Video?

None. Movie Gen 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.

07

Is Movie Gen Video open source?

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