The model has 3B active parameters. We put the code, homepage, paper and model links here:

- Code: https://github.com/bytedance/Lance

- Homepage: https://lance-project.github.io/

- Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.18678

- Model: https://huggingface.co/bytedance-research/Lance

p.s. Lance is a research project, not a polished product. The model was trained using fewer than 128 GPUs.

Great quality, forked and going to try

Seems like the video output is crippled. Resolution is low (720 or so), as is the frame rate. The samples are shown up-scaled and frame-interpolated.

Why do that? Seems strange to be building sub-hd resolution video models in 2026.

Sure, but again, it's a micro 3B model. Perhaps it can't be used for general video work, but it might be able to do basic edits like remove an object from a table in a shot.

Nice work. Wish they had picked another name given how popular lance/lancedb is.

Imagine having virtually unlimited compute and programming resources, and silly little slop videos is the result.

Fabulous.

Not that surprising if the reason you have virtually unlimited compute and programming resources is that you work at the leading short form video app company. They could also have chosen nót to open source it.
