# HunyuanVideo ModelOpt FP8 SGLang Transformer

This repository contains a SGLang-ready ModelOpt FP8 transformer override for [`hunyuanvideo-community/HunyuanVideo`](https://huggingface.co/hunyuanvideo-community/HunyuanVideo).
It only replaces the DiT/transformer weights; text encoders, VAE, scheduler, tokenizer, and other non-transformer components are loaded from the original base model.

The checkpoint is intended for SGLang Diffusion with the HunyuanVideo FP8 support from [sgl-project/sglang#23199](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/pull/23199).

## Usage

```bash
sglang generate \
  --backend=sglang \
  --model-path hunyuanvideo-community/HunyuanVideo \
  --transformer-path BBuf/HunyuanVideo-ModelOpt-FP8-SGLang \
  --prompt "A cat and a dog baking a cake together in a kitchen. The cat is carefully measuring flour, while the dog is stirring the batter with a wooden spoon. The kitchen is cozy, with sunlight streaming through the window." \
  --seed=42 \
  --text-encoder-cpu-offload \
  --pin-cpu-memory \
  --num-frames=65 \
  --fps=13 \
  --width=848 \
  --height=480 \
  --num-inference-steps=30 \
  --save-output \
  --warmup \
  --enable-torch-compile
```

The command above follows the HunyuanVideo preset used by the `sglang-diffusion-benchmark-profile` skill. The `--num-frames=65 --fps=13` pair gives an exact `5.000s` video.

## H100 Validation Snapshot

Validation was run on one H100 GPU using rank0 (`CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0`) with `--backend=sglang`. Logs show `Using pipeline from model_index.json: HunyuanVideoPipeline`; no diffusers fallback markers were observed.

## Conversion Notes

The checkpoint was converted from a ModelOpt FP8 export with SGLang's `build_modelopt_fp8_transformer` tool using the `hunyuan-video` preset.
The preset keeps numerically sensitive embedder, modulation, and output layers in BF16, and maps ModelOpt/diffusers module names to SGLang runtime module names for fused QKV and fused QKV+MLP projections.

One runtime caveat: the CLI can keep the same offload flags as the BF16 skill preset, but ModelOpt FP8 checkpoints currently force `dit_cpu_offload` off while preserving layerwise offload behavior for restored FP8 tensor strides.
