+
+Pixel-based VDMs can generate motion accurately aligned with the textual prompt but typically demand expensive computational costs in terms of time and GPU memory, especially when generating high-resolution videos. Latent-based VDMs are more resource-efficient because they work in a reduced-dimension latent space. But it is challenging for such small latent space (e.g., 64×40 for 256×160 videos) to cover rich yet necessary visual semantic details as described by the textual prompt. 
+
+To marry the strength and alleviate the weakness of pixel-based and latent-based VDMs, we introduce **Show-1**, an efficient text-to-video model that generates videos of not only decent video-text alignment but also high visual quality.

+
+
+## Model Details
+
+This is the base model of Show-1 that generates videos with 8 keyframes at a resolution of 64x40. The model is trained from [DeepFloyd/IF-I-L-v1.0](https://huggingface.co/DeepFloyd/IF-I-L-v1.0) on the [WebVid-10M](https://maxbain.com/webvid-dataset/) dataset.

+
+## Usage
+
+Clone the GitHub repository and install the requirements:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/showlab/Show-1.git
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+Run the following command to generate a video from a text prompt. This will automatically download all the model weights from huggingface. 
+
+```bash
+python run_inference.py
+```
+
+You can also download the weights manually:
+
+```bash
+git lfs install
+
+# base
+git clone https://huggingface.co/showlab/show-1-base
+# interp
+git clone https://huggingface.co/showlab/show-1-interpolation
+# sr1
+git clone https://huggingface.co/showlab/show-1-sr1
+# sr2
+git clone https://huggingface.co/showlab/show-1-sr2
+
+```
