TL;DR
The work targets the bottlenecks in training large-scale video generation models, notably cross-modal alignment, long sequence handling, and spatiotemporal fidelity. It delivers an end-to-end framework (MUG-V 10B) built on scalable data processing, a high-compression Video VAE, a 10B Diffusion Transformer, a multi-stage pre-training curriculum, and post-training alignment, all implemented within Megatron-Core for efficient, near-linear multi-node scaling. Empirically, MUG-V 10B achieves competitive or superior performance to state-of-the-art baselines and shows strong results in e-commerce-specific video generation, supported by both automatic metrics (VBench) and human evaluations, while open-sourcing the full stack to accelerate community advancement. The combination of aggressive latent compression, cross-modal conditioning, curriculum-based training, and system-level optimizations yields substantial training efficiency gains and practical appeal for real-world video synthesis at scale, albeit with remaining gaps in fine-grained texture fidelity and long-duration coherence.
Abstract
In recent years, large-scale generative models for visual content (\textit{e.g.,} images, videos, and 3D objects/scenes) have made remarkable progress. However, training large-scale video generation models remains particularly challenging and resource-intensive due to cross-modal text-video alignment, the long sequences involved, and the complex spatiotemporal dependencies. To address these challenges, we present a training framework that optimizes four pillars: (i) data processing, (ii) model architecture, (iii) training strategy, and (iv) infrastructure for large-scale video generation models. These optimizations delivered significant efficiency gains and performance improvements across all stages of data preprocessing, video compression, parameter scaling, curriculum-based pretraining, and alignment-focused post-training. Our resulting model, MUG-V 10B, matches recent state-of-the-art video generators overall and, on e-commerce-oriented video generation tasks, surpasses leading open-source baselines in human evaluations. More importantly, we open-source the complete stack, including model weights, Megatron-Core-based large-scale training code, and inference pipelines for video generation and enhancement. To our knowledge, this is the first public release of large-scale video generation training code that exploits Megatron-Core to achieve high training efficiency and near-linear multi-node scaling, details are available in https://github.com/Shopee-MUG/MUG-V.
