## 🔬 Technical Details

### 3D Spatiotemporal Attention

The model uses full 3D attention across time, height, and width dimensions:
- Captures motion dynamics and spatial relationships
- Rotary position embeddings for better sequence modeling
- Efficient implementation with Flash Attention compatible design

### Diffusion Process

1. **Training**: Learn to predict noise added to videos
2. **Inference**: Iteratively denoise random noise → video
3. **Guidance**: Classifier-free guidance for better text alignment

### Adaptive Layer Normalization

Each DiT block uses AdaLN-Zero for conditional generation:
- Text and timestep embeddings modulate layer norm parameters
- Allows model to adapt behavior based on conditioning

## 🎯 Use Cases

- **Creative Content**: Generate videos for social media, marketing
- **Prototyping**: Quick video mockups from descriptions
- **Education**: Visualize concepts and scenarios
- **Entertainment**: Generate animations and effects
- **Research**: Study video generation and diffusion models

## ⚠️ Limitations

- Maximum 16 frames (can be extended in future versions)
- 256×256 resolution (trade-off for 1B parameters)
- Requires significant compute for training
- Text encoder is simple (can be replaced with CLIP/T5)
- No temporal super-resolution (yet)

## 🚧 Future Improvements

- [ ] Increase resolution to 512×512
- [ ] Extend to 64+ frames
- [ ] Add temporal super-resolution
- [ ] Integrate CLIP text encoder
- [ ] Add motion control
- [ ] Implement video editing capabilities
- [ ] Optimize inference speed
- [ ] Add LoRA fine-tuning support
