Evidence claims:
- [upstream_claim] README: generates videos following a reference identity and a pose sequence; original release 2024/06/13 produces 32-frame clips at 768x512 or 1216x768; long videos via sliding window/first-frame conditioning. · source: https://github.com/ali-vilab/UniAnimate
- [sourced_fact] README disclaimer: the model is intended for research/non-commercial use only; the page names no open-source license; UniAnimate-DiT (announced 2025/04/15, built on Wan2.1) lives in a separate repository not fetched here. · source: https://github.com/ali-vilab/UniAnimate
- [upstream_claim] README VRAM: roughly 12GB for 32 frames at 768x512 and about 21GB for 1216x768 (page shows conflicting 26G/36G values); offloading CLIP and VAE brings 768x512 to roughly 12GB. · source: https://github.com/ali-vilab/UniAnimate
- [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.
