How to run Allegro locally

Rhymes AI · Text → video · 2.8B params · Apache-2.0 (commercial OK)

An Apache-2.0 model (2.8B VideoDiT + 175M VideoVAE) that generates 6-second 720p 15fps clips and runs on moderate VRAM, a practical fully-open T2V option.

What it costs to run — $0 markup

• On your own machine — $0. Runs free if you have about 10 GB of VRAM (~9.3GB in BF16 with CPU offload; comfortable in 12-24GB), via Diffusers.
• Rent a GPU — from $0.26/hr. Fits RTX 3090 24GB at the direct vendor price ($0 markup) — pay only for the minutes you generate.
• Download the weights — free. Open weights at rhymes-ai/Allegro.

Note: generative-media models are billed per image / per second / per minute on hosted services — not per token. Running locally or on your own rented GPU is usually far cheaper and keeps your data on your machine.
