# HunyuanVideo 1.5

Local character-shot prototypes and LoRA adaptation

- **Availability**: available
- **Where it runs**: local
- **Costs**: Self-funded GPU compute, optional LoRA training, storage and maintenance.
- **Adult content policy**: conditional

HunyuanVideo 1.5 gives a local team two useful starting points for video prototypes: a text prompt or a supplied character still. Official LoRA training code adds a route for adapting the model to a project. Start with an exact released checkpoint, approve a short baseline clip, then compare inference settings and adaptations on the same input. Standard, distilled and sparse routes need separate quality checks. Budget for setup and compute, and clear the intended content and release territories under the community license before rendering a batch. Keep source art and reusable game animation assets: the model produces a rendered video clip.

## Commercial use & license

The community license excludes the EU, UK and South Korea, including use and distribution of outputs there. Model distribution carries notice obligations, and services must identify their provider. The AUP applies. Separate authorization is required if your products and services exceeded 100 million monthly active users in the month before the model's release.

## Adult content rules

Public outputs must be identified as machine generated. The AUP prohibits bypassing safeguards and use that violates regional social ethics. These restrictions apply locally too; the terms offer no explicit adult-content permission.

[Read the policy](https://github.com/Tencent-Hunyuan/HunyuanVideo-1.5/blob/main/LICENSE)

## What you need

Official setup: Linux, Python 3.10 or newer, an NVIDIA CUDA GPU and at least 14 GB of VRAM with model offloading. The 8.3B release has 480p and 720p checkpoints. Check the released-weight table; that reference minimum does not cover every inference configuration or LoRA training.

Ranks are recommendations for the task described, based on reviewed documentation. Model ranks cover non-explicit development work. We have not run practical benchmarks. Check content policies and commercial terms separately. [How the ranks work](https://bestadultgames.io/en/developers/methodology.md)

Last checked 5 October 2026.

## Why consider it

- Start a video from an existing character still
- Official LoRA training code for project adaptation
- Released 480p and 720p text and image workflows

## Tradeoffs to plan for

- EU, UK and South Korea excluded for model use and outputs
- Some announced 720p variants are still unreleased
- Each inference configuration needs its own quality and memory checks

The tier reflects documented fit for the workflow described here and availability. No numeric score or hands-on performance results are provided.
