finetrainers
Video model fine-tuning toolkit by Hugging Face Diffusers team.
About
finetrainers is a training toolkit from the Hugging Face Diffusers ecosystem focused on fine-tuning video and image generation models. Supported models include LTX-Video, HunyuanVideo, CogVideoX, and Wan for text-to-video, plus CogView4 and Flux for text-to-image, with LoRA, full-rank fine-tuning, and conditional control training all available. The library treats memory efficiency and scale as equal goals: it implements DDP, FSDP2, HSDP, and context parallelism for multi-GPU training while offering gradient checkpointing, precomputation of embeddings, FP8 weight casting, and multiple attention backends (flash, flex, sage, xformers) so a single consumer GPU can still train models; an LTX-Video LoRA fits in about 5 GB of VRAM. Common dataset formats are auto-detected and multi-resolution bucketing is built in. Apache 2.0 licensed and under active development, it is used by researchers and practitioners customizing open video models for domains such as visual effects and robotics.
Should you use finetrainers?
Pick it when
Use it when you adapt an open video model such as LTX-Video, HunyuanVideo, CogVideoX, or Wan with LoRA or full-rank training and want one Diffusers-native toolkit that scales from a single GPU to FSDP2 and context parallel runs.
Look elsewhere when
For still-image LoRAs on SD, SDXL, or FLUX.1, kohya-ss has the larger preset pool and OneTrainer adds a GUI. It is under active development with config-driven setup, so expect APIs and options to change between releases.
Alternatives to finetrainers
- Musubi Tuner
Kohya's LoRA trainer for HunyuanVideo and Wan with block swapping, familiar to sd-scripts users, but LoRA-focused and outside Diffusers.
- Diffusers
The pipeline library finetrainers builds on; use it for inference and custom code, and switch to finetrainers for ready-made video training recipes.
- Kohya-ss
The better pick for image LoRAs on SDXL or FLUX.1 with broad community presets, but it does not target video models.
