Echo-Memory

JD Joy Future Academy · Released 6 June 2026

An action-conditioned world model study from JD that compares four kinds of memory for keeping a generated scene consistent when the camera leaves and comes back. It is built on Wan 2.1 1.3B and released with code, checkpoints and ComfyUI nodes under CC BY 4.0.

04 Setup

How to run it

  1. 01Download the Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B base model and one of the Echo-Memory checkpoints (context, compression or state-space memory) from Hugging Face.
  2. 02Point the inference script at the base model and a first frame, then generate the video chunk by chunk with camera actions.
  3. 03ComfyUI users can install the project's custom nodes (loader, camera action, generate) from its comfyui folder or the Comfy Registry.

Summarised from the project's own instructions. Follow the source for exact commands and versions.
