Step-Video-T2V
Step-Video-T2V is an open-source text-to-video model that generates videos from English or Chinese prompts.

Step-Video-T2V turns text prompts into video clips using a 30-billion-parameter model. It supports bilingual prompts, video generation up to 204 frames, and local inference through supplied scripts.
The model is available through Yuewen Video online and as open-source code and weights. Local use requires Linux, CUDA, NVIDIA GPUs, and substantial GPU memory. No official Step-Video-T2V-specific pricing page was found.
