### 📝 Naming Convention

```bash
# Pattern: wan2.1_{task}_{resolution}_{precision}.safetensors

# Examples:
wan2.1_i2v_720p_lightx2v_4step.safetensors                          # 720P I2V - BF16
wan2.1_i2v_720p_scaled_fp8_e4m3_lightx2v_4step.safetensors         # 720P I2V - FP8
wan2.1_i2v_480p_int8_lightx2v_4step.safetensors                    # 480P I2V - INT8
wan2.1_t2v_14b_scaled_fp8_e4m3_lightx2v_4step_comfyui.safetensors  # T2V - FP8 ComfyUI

## 🚀 Usage

**LightX2V is a high-performance inference framework optimized for these models, approximately 2x faster than ComfyUI with better quantization accuracy. Highly recommended!**

#### Quick Start

1. Download model (720P I2V FP8 example)
```bash
huggingface-cli download lightx2v/Wan2.1-Distill-Models \
    --local-dir ./models/wan2.1_i2v_720p \
    --include "wan2.1_i2v_720p_scaled_fp8_e4m3_lightx2v_4step.safetensors"
```

2. Clone LightX2V repository

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ModelTC/LightX2V.git
cd LightX2V
```

3. Install dependencies

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Or refer to [Quick Start Documentation](https://github.com/ModelTC/LightX2V/blob/main/docs/EN/source/getting_started/quickstart.md) to use docker

4. Select and modify configuration file

Choose the appropriate configuration based on your GPU memory:

**For 80GB+ GPU (A100/H100)**
- I2V: [wan_i2v_distill_4step_cfg.json](https://github.com/ModelTC/LightX2V/blob/main/configs/distill/wan_i2v_distill_4step_cfg.json)
- T2V: [wan_t2v_distill_4step_cfg.json](https://github.com/ModelTC/LightX2V/blob/main/configs/distill/wan_t2v_distill_4step_cfg.json)

**For 24GB+ GPU (RTX 4090)**
- I2V: [wan_i2v_distill_4step_cfg_4090.json](https://github.com/ModelTC/LightX2V/blob/main/configs/distill/wan_i2v_distill_4step_cfg_4090.json)
- T2V: [wan_t2v_distill_4step_cfg_4090.json](https://github.com/ModelTC/LightX2V/blob/main/configs/distill/wan_t2v_distill_4step_cfg_4090.json)


5. Run inference
```
cd scripts
bash wan/run_wan_i2v_distill_4step_cfg.sh
```

## ⚠️ Important Notes

1. **Additional Components**: These models only contain DIT weights. You also need:
   - T5 text encoder
   - CLIP vision encoder
   - VAE encoder/decoder
   - Tokenizers

   Refer to [LightX2V Documentation](https://github.com/ModelTC/LightX2V/blob/main/docs/EN/source/getting_started/model_structure.md) for how to organize the complete model directory.
