ModelScope open-sources DMAD few-step distillation for image, video and audio-video generation
Overview
ModelScope says it has open-sourced DMAD, a distillation method that cuts image, video and joint audio-video generation to 1 to 4 steps.
In its X post, ModelScope says a 1.4 GB rank-128 LoRA turns the 50-step MiniMax-H3 into a 4-step generator of 1344x768 video with stereo audio.
The release includes weights for MiniMax-H3, Wan2.1, SDXL and ImageNet-64. ModelScope says 15-second clips run on a 16 GB GPU and 5-second clips on 8 GB, with 64 GB of system RAM recommended. The weights inherit their base model licenses, and the MiniMax-H3 LoRAs fall under the MiniMax H3 Community License.
