From the source

Setup. This is a research repo for the paper 'Goku: Flow Based Video Generative Foundation Models' (HKU and ByteDance, CVPR 2025 highlight, arXiv 2502.04896). The README is a paper overview and doesn't document a public inference setup or weights download.

Inputs. Per the paper overview: text-to-video, image-to-video and text-to-image, using rectified-flow Transformers trained jointly on images and video.

What the source says about results. The authors report 84.85 on VBench text-to-video (No. 2 on VBench as of 2024-10-07, per the README), 0.76 on GenEval and 83.65 on DPG-Bench for text-to-image. These are author-reported benchmark numbers.
