Evidence claims:
- [upstream_claim] README claims real-time streaming video generation on a single RTX 4090 with quality matching state-of-the-art diffusion models; NeurIPS 2025 Spotlight; needs >= 24 GB GPU and 64 GB RAM; base Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B. · source: https://github.com/guandeh17/Self-Forcing
- [upstream_claim] README: DMD training run is 600 iterations, under 2 hours on 64 H100 GPUs; torch.compile, TAEHV-VAE and FP8 linear suggested for speed with possible quality loss. · source: https://github.com/guandeh17/Self-Forcing
- [upstream_claim] HF model card lists Apache-2.0 and cites arXiv 2506.08009. · source: https://huggingface.co/gdhe17/Self-Forcing
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
