Practical overview
When it fits
Use it to explore the architecture’s documented Python/PyTorch workflow or prototype video-model experiments, bearing in mind that the repository identifies the implementation as work in progress.
Who it is for
- Researchers exploring generative world models for autonomous-driving scenarios.
- Python/PyTorch developers prototyping video-tokenization, training or generation workflows.
Documented uses
- Create a video tensor and pass it through the documented tokenizer and model.
- Compute training losses and call backward propagation in an example workflow.
- Request a generated video sequence and compare its shape with the input.
Requirements & limits
- The documented install uses pip, and the example imports PyTorch.
- The example demonstrates synthetic tensor input rather than a dataset-loading or autonomous-driving application pipeline.
- The repository is public and lists an MIT license.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install the library and follow its video-model example
Set up the package and inspect the documented tokenizer, loss and generation workflow.
Before you start
- Python environment with pip
- PyTorch, imported as torch
Steps
Install the package with the command below.
pip install gaia2-pytorchImport
VideoTokenizerandGaia2fromgaia2_pytorchand create a video tensor withtorch.randn(1, 3, 10, 16, 16).Pass the tensor to a
VideoTokenizer, compute its loss and callbackward().Initialize
Gaia2with the tokenizer, compute the model loss on the tensor and callbackward().Call
gaia2.generate((10, 16, 16))and compare its shape with the input tensor.
Expected outcome
The example shows the documented loss-computation and generation calls, with generated output expected by the code to match the input tensor’s shape.
Guide limitations
- The repository labels the implementation work in progress.
- The example uses synthetic input and does not document a real driving-video data pipeline.
