---

## 1. Model Introduction

[MOVA](https://github.com/OpenMOSS/MOVA) (MOSS Video and Audio) is a foundation model developed by the SII-OpenMOSS Team, designed to break the "silent era" of open-source video generation. Unlike cascaded pipelines that generate sound as an afterthought, MOVA synthesizes video and audio simultaneously in a single inference pass for perfect alignment. It adopts an Asymmetric Dual-Tower Architecture, fusing pre-trained video and audio towers through a bidirectional cross-attention mechanism to maintain tight synchronization between video and audio during generation.

[MOVA-360p](https://huggingface.co/OpenMOSS-Team/MOVA-360p) is suitable for fast inference and resource-constrained environments. [MOVA-720p](https://huggingface.co/OpenMOSS-Team/MOVA-720p) provides higher resolution video generation. Both versions support generating up to 8 seconds of video-audio content.

**Key Features:**

- **Native Bimodal Generation**: Generates high-fidelity video and synchronized audio in a single inference pass, eliminating error accumulation from cascaded pipelines
- **Precise Lip-Sync**: Achieves state-of-the-art performance in multilingual lip-synchronization (LSE-D: 7.094, LSE-C: 7.452 with Dual CFG on Verse-Bench Set3)
- **Environment-Aware Sound Effects**: Generates corresponding environmental sound effects including physical interaction sounds, ambient sounds, and spatial/textural sound feedback
- **Fully Open-Source**: Model weights, inference code, training pipelines, and LoRA fine-tuning scripts are all open-sourced

For more details, please refer to the [MOVA-360p HuggingFace page](https://huggingface.co/OpenMOSS-Team/MOVA-360p), the [MOVA-720p HuggingFace page](https://huggingface.co/OpenMOSS-Team/MOVA-720p), the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/OpenMOSS/MOVA), and the [technical report (arXiv)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.08794).

## 2. SGLang-diffusion Installation

SGLang-diffusion offers multiple installation methods. You can choose the most suitable installation method based on your hardware platform and requirements.

Please refer to the [official SGLang-diffusion installation guide](https://docs.sglang.io/docs/sglang-diffusion/installation) for installation instructions.

## 3. Model Deployment

This section provides deployment configurations optimized for different hardware platforms and use cases.

### 3.1 Basic Configuration

MOVA supports both online serving and CLI generation modes. The recommended launch configurations vary by hardware and resolution.

**Interactive Command Generator**: Use the configuration selector below to automatically generate the appropriate deployment command for your hardware platform.

import { MOVADeployment } from '/src/snippets/diffusion/mova-deployment.jsx'

<MOVADeployment />

### 3.2 Configuration Tips

Currently supported optimizations are listed [here](/docs/sglang-diffusion/compatibility_matrix).

- `--num-gpus`: Number of GPUs to use
- `--tp`: Tensor parallelism size (should not be larger than 1 if text encoder offload is enabled, as layer-wise offload plus prefetch is faster)
- `--ring-degree`: The degree of ring attention-style SP in USP
- `--ulysses-degree`: The degree of DeepSpeed-Ulysses-style SP in USP
- `--adjust-frames`: Whether to adjust frames automatically (set to `false` for MOVA)
- `--enable-torch-compile`: Enable torch.compile for faster inference

## 4. API Usage

For complete API documentation, please refer to the [official API usage guide](/docs/sglang-diffusion/api/openai_api).

  framed by wooden furniture and a filled bookshelf. \
  Quiet room acoustics underscore his measured tone as he delivers his remarks. \
  At one point, he says, \"I would also believe that this advance in AI recently wasn't unexpected.\"" \

### 4.3 Advanced Usage

#### 4.3.1 Cache-DiT Acceleration

SGLang integrates [Cache-DiT](https://github.com/vipshop/cache-dit), a caching acceleration engine for Diffusion Transformers (DiT), to achieve up to 7.4x inference speedup with minimal quality loss. You can set `SGLANG_CACHE_DIT_ENABLED=True` to enable it. For more details, please refer to the SGLang Cache-DiT [documentation](/docs/sglang-diffusion/cache_dit).

**Basic Usage**

```bash Command
SGLANG_CACHE_DIT_ENABLED=true sglang serve --model-path OpenMOSS-Team/MOVA-720p
```

**Advanced Usage**
