FramePack

HuggingFace Community · Up to 720p · 8s max duration

VidScore benchmark data shows FramePack is the most accessible open-source video model, generating 720p output at an estimated $0.03/second ($1.80/minute) — the lowest cost in the entire VidScore benchmark. Developed by the HuggingFace community, FramePack scored 6.8/10 on VidScore's overall quality metric while requiring only 6GB VRAM for inference, making it runnable on consumer GPUs like the RTX 3060. In VidScore's accessibility benchmark, FramePack was the only model that produced usable output on hardware costing under $300. The model's novel frame-packing architecture achieves constant memory usage regardless of output duration, a unique technical advantage.
