Release v0.3.1 has two checkpoints: the base model (repository root, the default) for video prediction (the next 92 frames from a starting image and a structured text description) and 50-step transfer, and Cosmos-H-Surgical-Transfer-DMD2-4Step (dmd2-transfer-480p-4step/), a student-only DMD2 export with a rank-16 transfer LoRA that runs the same transfer in four denoiser calls on a fixed SDE schedule. Transfer converts one control video (blur, depth, segmentation or edge) into photorealistic surgical video; each input activates exactly one control.\n\nOutput: 832x480, 93 frames at 16 FPS, BF16; validated transfer uses text guidance 1.0 and control guidance 1.0 (the DMD2 input also sets model_mode \"video2video\"). Install the v0.3.1 source with uv sync --group cu130 (CUDA 13, recommended) or cu128. Run with torchrun -m cosmos_h_surgical infer; the card's prediction example uses 8 processes, and the DMD2 example uses one process with --checkpoint-path Cosmos-H-Surgical-Transfer-DMD2-4Step and --no-use-torch-compile.\n\nMeasured on one H100 80 GB (edge transfer, 832x480, 93 frames): denoising 4.1 s for DMD2 against 107.2 s for the base (4 versus 100 denoiser calls, the base running two CFG evaluations per step), generation 8.8 s against 112.7 s, complete batch 10.9 s against 114.9 s. DMD2 transfer FVD on 1,010 videos per control: edge 40.3, blur 34.7, depth 37.8, segmentation 41.1.
