⚡️ Quickstart

Model Preparation

Models	Download Link	Notes
DreamID-V	🤗 Huggingface	Supports 480P & 720P
Wan-2.1	🤗 Huggingface	VAE & Text encoder

Installation

Install dependencies:

# Ensure torch >= 2.4.0
pip install -r requirements.txt

DreamID-V-Wan-1.3B

• Single-GPU inference

python generate_dreamidv.py \
    --size 832*480 \
    --ckpt_dir wan2.1-1.3B path \
    --dreamidv_ckpt dreamidv.pth path  \
    --sample_steps 50 \
    --base_seed 42

• Multi-GPU inference using FSDP + xDiT USP

pip install "xfuser>=0.4.1"
torchrun --nproc_per_node=2 generate_dreamidv.py \
    --size 832*480 \
    --ckpt_dir wan2.1-1.3B path \
    --dreamidv_ckpt dreamidv.pth path  \
    --sample_steps 50 \
    --dit_fsdp \
    --t5_fsdp \
    --ulysses_size 2 \
    --ring_size 1 \
    --base_seed 42
