Cosmos Tokenizer can serve as an effective and efficient building block in both diffusion-based and autoregressive models for image and video generation. This model is ready for commercial use. Our tokenizers come in two types: **Continuous** (C) and **Discrete** (D), each with **Image** (I) and **Video** (V) variants: * Continuous tokenizers encode visual data into continuous latent embeddings, as shown in latent diffusion models like [Stable Diffusion](https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion). These embeddings are suitable for models that generate data by sampling from continuous distributions. * Discrete tokenizers encode visual data into discrete latent codes, mapping them into quantized indices, as seen in autoregressive transformers such as [VideoPoet](https://sites.research.google/videopoet/). This discretization is required for models that generate data by optimizing the cross-entropy loss, such as the GPT models. | | Continuous ( C ) | Discrete ( D ) | | ------------------|---------------------|---------------------| | **Images ( I )** | Cosmos-Tokenizer-CI | Cosmos-Tokenizer-DI | | **Videos ( V )** | Cosmos-Tokenizer-CV | Cosmos-Tokenizer-DV | Given an image or a video, Cosmos Tokenizer outputs either continuous latents or discrete tokens. Cosmos Tokenizer achieves spatial compression rates of 8x8 or 16x16 and temporal compression factors of 4x or 8x, resulting in a total compression factor of up to 2048x (=8x16x16). Cosmos Tokenizer delivers 8x more total compression than state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods while simultaneously maintaining higher image quality and running up to 12x faster than the best available SOTA tokenizers. **Model Developer**: NVIDIA ## Model Versions This release (v1.0) of Cosmos Tokenizer includes the following tokenizers: * **Continuous Tokenizers** * [Cosmos-1.0-Tokenizer-CV8x8x8](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Cosmos-1.0-Tokenizer-CV8x8x8) (8x temporal compression, 8x8 spatial compression, 720 short spatial size, 121 frames context) * **Discrete Tokenizers** * [Cosmos-1.0-Tokenizer-DV8x16x16](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Cosmos-1.0-Tokenizer-DV8x16x16) (8x temporal compression, 16x16 spatial compression, 720 short spatial size, 49 frames context) The previous release (v0.1) of Cosmos Tokenizer included the following tokenizers: * **Continuous Tokenizers** * Continuous Image (CI) Tokenizer * [Cosmos-0.1-Tokenizer-CI8x8](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Cosmos-Tokenizer-CI8x8) (8x8 spatial compression) * [Cosmos-0.1-Tokenizer-CI16x16](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Cosmos-Tokenizer-CI16x16) (16x16 spatial compression) * Continuous Video (CV) Tokenizer * [Cosmos-0.1-Tokenizer-CV4x8x8](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Cosmos-Tokenizer-CV4x8x8) (4x temporal compression, 8x8 spatial compression) * [Cosmos-0.1-Tokenizer-CV8x8x8](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Cosmos-Tokenizer-CV8x8x8) (8x temporal compression, 8x8 spatial compression) * [Cosmos-0.1-Tokenizer-CV8x16x16](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Cosmos-Tokenizer-CV8x16x16) (8x temporal compression, 16x16 spatial compression) * **Discrete Tokenizers** * Discrete Image (DI) Tokenizer * [Cosmos-0.1-Tokenizer-DI8x8](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Cosmos-Tokenizer-DI8x8) (8x8 spatial compression) * [Cosmos-0.1-Tokenizer-DI16x16](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Cosmos-Tokenizer-DI16x16) (16x16 spatial compression) * Discrete Video (DV) Tokenizer * [Cosmos-0.1-Tokenizer-DV4x8x8](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Cosmos-Tokenizer-DV4x8x8) (4x temporal compression, 8x8 spatial compression) * [Cosmos-1.0-Tokenizer-DV8x8x8](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Cosmos-Tokenizer-DV8x8x8) (8x temporal compression, 8x8 spatial compression) * [Cosmos-1.0-Tokenizer-DV8x16x16](https://huggingface.co/nvidia/Cosmos-Tokenizer-DV8x16x16) (8x temporal compression, 16x16 spatial compression) ### License: This model is released under the [NVIDIA Open Model License](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/agreements/enterprise-software/nvidia-open-model-license).

Specifically, we employ causal temporal convolution and causal temporal attention layers to preserve the natural temporal order of video frames, ensuring seamless tokenization of images and videos using a single unified network architecture. The encoder and decoder form a symmetrical pair, which are mirrors of each other. The encoder starts with a 2-level [Haar wavelet](https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-04295-4) transform layer, which down-samples inputs by a factor of 4 in both spatial and temporal dimensions. Likewise, the decoder ends with an inverse wavelet transform. We employ the vanilla autoencoder (AE) formulation to model the latent space for continuous tokenizers. For discrete tokenizers, we adopt the [Finite-Scalar-Quantization](https://openreview.net/forum?id=8ishA3LxN8) (FSQ) as the latent space quantizer. ![image/jpeg](https://cdn-uploads.huggingface.co/production/uploads/638fb8cf2380ffd99caf8c2a/gQH5n9iCEtqZc7uutUwdL.jpeg) ## Input/Output Specifications ### Encoder * **Input** * **Type:** Images or Videos * **Format:** RGB (Red, Green, Blue) * **Properties:** * **Resolution:** Minimum: 256px (shorter side).

If you are using older versions of NVIDIA GPUs (e.g., NVIDIA Volta GPUs), you may need to switch to FP32 precision. **Operating System(s):** * Linux (We have not tested on other operating systems.) # Usage Inference Engines: * [Cosmos-Tokenizer](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Cosmos-Tokenizer) (PyTorch) * [NeMo](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo) Cosmos can also be used with Diffusers! ```python from diffusers import AutoencoderKLCosmos vae = AutoencoderKLCosmos.from_pretrained("nvidia/Cosmos-1.0-Tokenizer-CV8x8x8", subfolder="vae") vae.to("cuda") ``` Find more information in the diffusers [documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/main/en/api/pipelines/cosmos). ## Inference with `Cosmos-Tokenizer` (PyTorch) ### Step-1: Installation of `Cosmos-Tokenizer` Note: Currently, the `Cosmos-Tokenizer` code is only supported on Linux. - Please clone the `Cosmos-Tokenizer` from GitHub repo [github.com/NVIDIA/Cosmos-Tokenizer](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Cosmos-Tokenizer). ```bash git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/Cosmos-Tokenizer.git cd Cosmos-Tokenizer ``` - Install dependencies ```bash pip3 install -r requirements.txt apt-get install -y ffmpeg ``` - Preferably, you could build a docker image using our provided Dockerfile. ```bash docker build -t cosmos-docker -f Dockerfile. # You can run the container as: docker run --gpus all -it --rm -v /home/${USER}:/home/${USER} \ --workdir ${PWD} cosmos-docker /bin/bash ``` ### Step-2: Download Pre-trained Checkpoints - Create a local directory for the pre-trained checkpoints and download the pre-trained checkpoints - Under the checkpoint directory `pretrained_ckpts/`, we provide the encoder, decoder and the full autoencoder JIT models. ```bash ├── pretrained_ckpts/ │ ├── Cosmos-Tokenizer-1.0-CV8x8x8/ │ │ ├── encoder.jit │ │ ├── decoder.jit │ │ ├── autoencoder.jit │ ... ``` ### Step-3: Run Inference You can use the following example commands to encode and decode images or videos. For each, the same command works for both continuous and discrete tokenization. Simply provide the proper JIT-compiled ckpt to `checkpoint_enc`, `checkpoint_dec`, or the full autoencoder ckpt to `checkpoint`. ```python import torch from cosmos_tokenizer.video_lib import CausalVideoTokenizer model_name = "Cosmos-Tokenizer-1.0-CV8x8x8" input_tensor = torch.randn(1, 3, 9, 512, 512).to('cuda').to(torch.bfloat16) # [B, C, T, H, W] encoder = CausalVideoTokenizer(checkpoint_enc=f'pretrained_ckpts/{model_name}/encoder.jit') (latent,) = encoder.encode(input_tensor) torch.testing.assert_close(latent.shape, (1, 16, 2, 64, 64)) # The input tensor can be reconstructed by the decoder as: decoder = CausalVideoTokenizer(checkpoint_dec=f'pretrained_ckpts/{model_name}/decoder.jit') reconstructed_tensor = decoder.decode(latent) torch.testing.assert_close(reconstructed_tensor.shape, input_tensor.shape) ``` The `indices` will have the shape `(1, 2, 64, 64)` and contain integral values in the range `[1..64K]`, where the first of the three integral maps represents the first frame. The `codes` will contain the pre-quantization continuous latent with shape `(1, 6, 2, 64, 64)`, where C=6 represents the number of FSQ levels. **Note**: More inference usage commands, including both TorchScript (JIT) and PyTorch Inference APIs on real images and videos, can be found on our GitHub repository [github.com/NVIDIA/Cosmos-Tokenizer](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Cosmos-Tokenizer). # Evaluation ## TokenizationPerformance Comparison We have evaluated the additional **Cosmos Tokenizer** models on [DAVIS](https://davischallenge.org/) video benchmark dataset. | Tokenizer | Compression Ratio | Height | Num. of Frames | Quantization | PSNR (DAVIS) | SSIM (DAVIS) | rFVD (DAVIS) | |-----------|------------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------| | CogVideoX | 4×4×4 | - | - | VAE | 31.74 | 0.860 | 19.58 | | OmniTokenizer | 4×8×8 | - | - | VAE | 29.04 | 0.710 | 117.66 | | Cosmos-Tokenizer-CV | 4×8×8 | 720 | 49 | AE | **35.28** | **0.890** | **15.93** | | Cosmos-Tokenizer-CV | 8×8×8 | 720 | 49 | AE | 34.10 | 0.850 | 30.16 | | Cosmos-Tokenizer-CV | 8×8×8 | 720 | 121 | AE | 34.32 | 0.867 | 23.49 | | Cosmos-Tokenizer-CV | 8×16×16 | 720 | 49 | AE | 32.55 | 0.770 | 93.82 | * We compare with the state-of-the-art discrete video tokenizer, [OmniTokenizer](https://github.com/FoundationVision/OmniTokenizer). * Evaluation metrics: * Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) * Structural Similarity (SSIM) * Reconstruction Fréchet Video Distance (rFVD) ## Runtime Comparison The following table shows the number of parameters and the averaged encoding and decoding times per image or video frame, measured on a single A100 80GB GPU.
