Highlights

Single-Stream Transformer — A unified 15B-parameter, 40-layer Transformer that jointly processes text, video, and audio via self-attention only. No cross-attention, no multi-stream complexity.
Exceptional Human-Centric Quality — Expressive facial performance, natural speech-expression coordination, realistic body motion, and accurate audio-video synchronization.
Multilingual — Supports Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese), English, Japanese, Korean, German, and French.
Blazing Fast Inference — Generates a 5-second 256p video in 2 seconds and a 5-second 1080p video in 38 seconds on a single H100 GPU.
State-of-the-Art Results — Achieves 80.0% win rate vs Ovi 1.1 and 60.9% vs LTX 2.3 in pairwise human evaluation over 2,000 comparisons.
Fully Open Source — We release the complete model stack: base model, distilled model, super-resolution model, and inference code.

Architecture

daVinci-MagiHuman uses a single-stream Transformer that takes text tokens, a reference image latent, and noisy video and audio tokens as input, and jointly denoises the video and audio within a unified token sequence.

Key design choices:

Component	Description
Sandwich Architecture	First and last 4 layers use modality-specific projections; middle 32 layers share parameters across modalities
Timestep-Free Denoising	No explicit timestep embeddings — the model infers the denoising state directly from input latents
Per-Head Gating	Learned scalar gates with sigmoid activation on each attention head for training stability
Unified Conditioning	Denoising and reference signals handled through a minimal unified interface — no dedicated conditioning branches

Quantitative Quality Benchmark

Model	Visual Quality ↑	Text Alignment ↑	Physical Consistency ↑	WER ↓
OVI 1.1	4.73	4.10	4.41	40.45%

Inference Speed (5-second video)

Resolution	Base (s)	Super-Res (s)	Decode (s)	Total (s)
256p	1.6	—	0.4	2.0
540p	1.6	5.1	1.3	8.0
1080p	1.6	31.0	5.8	38.4

Efficient Inference Techniques

Latent-Space Super-Resolution — Two-stage pipeline: generate at low resolution, then refine in latent space (not pixel space), avoiding an extra VAE decode-encode round trip.
Turbo VAE Decoder — A lightweight re-trained decoder that substantially reduces decoding overhead.
Full-Graph Compilation — MagiCompiler fuses operators across Transformer layers for ~1.2x speedup.
Distillation — DMD-2 distillation enables generation with only 8 denoising steps (no CFG), without sacrificing quality.
