Wan2.1-I2V-14B-480P-StepDistill-CfgDistill-Lightx2v is an advanced image-to-video generation model built upon the Wan2.1-I2V-14B-480P foundation. This approach allows the model to generate videos with significantly fewer inference steps (4 steps) and without classifier-free guidance, substantially reducing video generation time while maintaining high quality outputs.

In this version, we added the following features:

Our training code is modified based on the Self-Forcing repository. We extended support for the Wan2.1-14B-I2V-480P model and performed a 4-step bidirectional distillation process. The modified code is available at Self-Forcing-Plus.

Our inference framework utilizes lightx2v, a highly efficient inference engine that supports multiple models. This framework significantly accelerates the video generation process while maintaining high quality output.

We recommend using the LCM scheduler with the following settings:
