| Commercial use | The CogVideoX License requires commercial users to register for a basic commercial license and limits service visits to one million per month under that license. | Yes |
| Hardware requirements | The repository lists minimum Diffusers memory figures as low as 4 GB for CogVideoX-2B and notes that INT8 can reduce memory needs while slowing inference. | The model requires an NVIDIA GPU with CUDA; the stated peak GPU memory requirements are 60GB for 720p 129-frame generation and 45GB for 544p 129-frame generation. |
| Image-to-video | Yes | The project links a separate HunyuanVideo image-to-video model with inference code and checkpoints. |
| Integrations | The project lists community integrations including ComfyUI-CogVideoXWrapper, CogStudio, and Xorbits Inference. | The repository says HunyuanVideo is integrated into Diffusers and offers parallel inference code powered by xDiT. |
| License | The code and CogVideoX-2B are released under Apache 2.0, while CogVideoX-5B model weights use the CogVideoX License. | The Tencent Hunyuan Community License grants a royalty-free limited license, excludes the EU, UK, and South Korea, and requires a separate Tencent license for products or services exceeding 100 million monthly active users at release. |
| Maker | Zhipu’s about page lists its founding year as 2019 and its address in Haidian District, Beijing, China. | Tencent says it was founded in 1998 and is headquartered in Shenzhen, China. |
| Purpose | CogVideoX is an open-source video-generation model family for text-to-video and image-to-video generation. | HunyuanVideo is an open-source video foundation model with code and pretrained weights for video generation. |
| Text-to-video | Yes | The released model generates videos from text prompts, with supported output settings up to 720p and 129 frames. |
