Abstract: Video generation models have achieved remarkable progress in the past year.
The quality of AI video continues to improve, but at the cost of larger model
size, increased data quantity, and greater demand for training compute. In this
report, we present Open-Sora 2.0, a commercial-level video generation model
trained for only $200k. With this model, we demonstrate that the cost of
training a top-performing video generation model is highly controllable. We
detail all techniques that contribute to this efficiency breakthrough,
including data curation, model architecture, training strategy, and system
optimization. According to human evaluation results and VBench scores,
Open-Sora 2.0 is comparable to global leading video generation models including
the open-source HunyuanVideo and the closed-source Runway Gen-3 Alpha. By
making Open-Sora 2.0 fully open-source, we aim to democratize access to
advanced video generation technology, fostering broader innovation and
creativity in content creation. All resources are publicly available at:
