FramePack
Next-frame prediction video model that generates minute-long clips on 6 GB consumer GPUs.
About
Minute-long AI video on a 6 GB laptop GPU is FramePack's claim to fame, a next-frame prediction architecture from lllyasviel, the developer behind ControlNet. It compresses the context of previously generated frames to a constant length, so memory use stays flat no matter how long the video runs, letting a 13B-parameter model generate 1,800 frames, 60 seconds at 30 fps, on 6 GB of VRAM. On an RTX 4090 generation runs about 2.5 seconds per frame, or 1.5 seconds with TeaCache, and supported hardware is NVIDIA RTX 30, 40, and 50 series cards with fp16 or bf16, including laptop GPUs. A one-click Windows package bundles CUDA 12.6 and PyTorch 2.6, Linux installs via pip, and a Gradio interface shows frames as they stream out, making video diffusion feel closer to image diffusion in practice. Code is Apache-2.0, the repository has around 17,200 stars, and F1 and P1 follow-up variants extended the approach through 2025. Hobbyists on consumer hardware are the core audience, since little else generates videos this long at this VRAM budget.
Should you use FramePack?
Pick it when
Pick FramePack when you want long image-to-video, up to 60 seconds at 30 fps, on an NVIDIA RTX 30, 40, or 50 card with as little as 6 GB, laptops included, using the one-click Windows package and live frame preview.
Look elsewhere when
Skip it on AMD or Apple hardware, since it targets only NVIDIA RTX 30, 40, and 50 cards, or when turnaround matters: at about 2.5 seconds per frame on an RTX 4090, a full minute takes over an hour without TeaCache. WanGP runs on AMD.
Alternatives to FramePack
- WanGP
Also 6 GB friendly with one-click installs, but runs many models including Wan, Hunyuan, and LTX, adds AMD support, and uses a source-available license.
- SkyReels-V2
Diffusion forcing also extends clips indefinitely, adding text-to-video and camera control at 540p or 720p, but needs about 14.7 GB even for the 1.3B model.
- LongCat-Video
MIT-licensed minutes-long 720p output with text, image, and continuation modes in one model, but it publishes no low-VRAM target like FramePack's 6 GB.
- LTX-Video
Much faster short clips from distilled 8-step models with macOS support, but single generations run around 10 seconds, so long videos need extension passes.
