+<h1>Kandinsky 5.0 I2V Lite - Diffusers</h1>
+
+This repository provides the 🤗 Diffusers integration for Kandinsky 5.0 Lite - a lightweight video generation model (2B parameters) that ranks #1 among open-source models in its class.
+
+## Project Updates
+
+- 🔥 **2025/09/29**: We have open-sourced `Kandinsky 5.0 T2V Lite` a lite (2B parameters) version of `Kandinsky 5.0 Video` text-to-video generation model. 
+- 🚀 **Diffusers Integration**: Now available with easy-to-use 🤗 Diffusers pipeline!
+
+## Kandinsky 5.0 Lite
+
+Kandinsky 5.0 T2V Lite is a lightweight video generation model (2B parameters) that ranks #1 among open-source models in its class. It outperforms larger Wan models (5B and 14B) and offers the best understanding of Russian concepts in the open-source ecosystem.
+
+We provide 9 model variants, each optimized for different use cases:
+
+* **SFT model** — delivers the highest generation quality
+* **CFG-distilled** — runs 2× faster
+* **Diffusion-distilled** — enables low-latency generation with minimal quality loss (6× faster)
+* **Pretrain model** — designed for fine-tuning by researchers and enthusiasts
+
+
+## Basic Usage
+```python
+import torch
+from diffusers import Kandinsky5I2VPipeline
+from diffusers.utils import export_to_video
+
+# Load the pipeline
+pipe = Kandinsky5I2VPipeline.from_pretrained(
+    "kandinskylab/Kandinsky-5.0-I2V-Lite-5s-Diffusers", 
+    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
+)
+pipe = pipe.to("cuda")
+
+image = load_image(
+    "https://frontofficesports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/USATSI_19520555_168393969_lowres-scaled-e1697215176168.jpg?quality=100"
+)
+
+height = 480
+width = 640
+image = image.resize((width, height))
+
+prompt = "A football player kicking a ball"
+negative_prompt = "Static, 2D cartoon, cartoon, 2d animation, paintings, images, worst quality, low quality, ugly, deformed, walking backwards"
+
+output = pipe(
+    image=image,
+    prompt=prompt,
+    negative_prompt=negative_prompt,
+    height=512,
+    width=768,
+    num_frames=121,
+    num_inference_steps=50,
+    guidance_scale=5.0,
+).frames[0]
+
+## Save the video
+export_to_video(output, "output.mp4", fps=24, quality=9)
+```
+
+
+## Architecture
+Latent diffusion pipeline with Flow Matching.
+
+Diffusion Transformer (DiT) as the main generative backbone with cross-attention to text embeddings.
+
+Qwen2.5-VL and CLIP provides text embeddings
+
+HunyuanVideo 3D VAE encodes/decodes video into a latent space
+
+DiT is the main generative module using cross-attention to condition on text
