Verdict

A solid pick for self-hosting and full data control.

Overview

HunyuanVideo 1.5 is Tencent's compact text-to-video and image-to-video model, hitting near state-of-the-art open-source quality with just 8.3B parameters — the step-distilled variant renders a clip in 75 seconds on a single RTX 4090. Its Tencent community licence permits commercial use up to 100 million monthly active users, but includes territorial restrictions that may affect EU deployment and should be checked clause by clause. Note that some components (sparse attention, super-resolution modules) haven't been fully released yet.
