2025: Kandinsky Video Lite launch
Cloud.ru implemented the launch of an open model to generate Kandinsky Video Lite video in the public cloud. The model is available for free as part of a public preview of the Evolution Notebooks service. This was announced by Cloud.ru on October 16, 2025.
Installation, configuration and launch take place in the Evolution Notebooks service through the ComfyUI interface, which implements the entire process - from a text request to the final video - visually, without programming. Two templates are available in the interface: Kandinsky T2V Lite SFT 5s with maximum quality and Kandinsky T2V Lite Distill 5s, which runs six times faster without noticeable loss of quality.
| We unleash the potential of the Cloud.ru cloud platform to make AI technologies as accessible and reproducible as possible. Even users without deep technical knowledge can run advanced AI scripts, such as generating video on Kandinsky Video, in just a few clicks. It is based on a ready-made infrastructure, services for training and information, a single environment for working with models, - commented Evgeny Kolbin, General Director Cloud.ru. |
| Access to the Kandinsky Video Lite video generation model on the Cloud.ru platform expands the capabilities of our users: now you can run the model directly in the cloud - without configuring the environment and preparing the infrastructure. Various categories of users gain access to a secure video generation environment: developers and startups will be able to use the model as the basis for their products, content creators for fast video and animation generation, and researchers and enthusiasts for studying advanced technologies and conducting various experiments, said Denis Dimitrov, director of the Kandinsky base model management. |
To start working with Kandinsky Video Lite, the user just needs to register on the Cloud.ru platform, activate the Notebooks service as part of AI Factory, connect free S3 storage Object Storage (up to 15 GB) and choose a ready-made image Cloud.ru Jupiter ComfyUI Kandinsky Lite. The model is loaded automatically, and all constraints and environments are installed in one click.
