A user has successfully run the Wan 2.2 TI2V 5B model on a graphics card with only 8 GB of VRAM by employing a technique called WanVideoBlockSwap. This method offloads transformer blocks to the CPU's system RAM during inference, allowing larger models to operate on less powerful hardware. While this significantly impacts generation speed, the user reports that the output quality remains indistinguishable from models run on high-VRAM GPUs. AI
IMPACT Enables running larger video generation models on consumer-grade hardware with limited VRAM.
RANK_REASON User-developed technique for running a large model on limited hardware.
