MAGI-1
MAGI-1 from Sand AI builds videos one chunk at a time using your text and images. It's open-source and real-time which means full control and easy access for creators.
Overview
MAGI-1 is a tool that takes your text and images and builds them into videos that look and feel clean. It was made by Sand AI and they kept it open-source so anyone can mess with the code or plug it into other stuff. You can use it for content videos stories even live-stream effects.
But MAGI-1 is currently too impractical to run on most consumer hardware with its 24 billion parameters, it requires between four and eight Nvidia H100 GPUs to run.
So here's how MAGI works. Instead of trying to build a whole video in one go MAGI-1 puts it together one second at a time using 24 frames per chunk. That way every part fits with the next and it doesn’t feel jumpy or off. This makes it good for things that need consistency like telling stories or making animated explainers.
You can throw in text+ image and MAGI-1 will figure out the video part from there. Want to keep it going past one second? It’ll keep generating and blend it right into the last part.
MAGI-1 doesn’t try to be flashy it just works in a way that gives you control. You can adjust pacing transitions even how long each part lasts. It uses a thing called block-causal attention under the hood which just means it doesn’t forget what it did earlier. I certainly enjoy being able to freely choose length from 1 to 10 seconds. You can test a prompt for just 2 or 3 seconds to see if AI has the good understanding of it, then extend only if it does.
And it runs fast. Like real-time fast. That makes it work for livestreams and interactive setups.
