Bernini is a research framework from ByteDance for video generation and editing, described in the paper "Bernini: Latent Semantic Planning for Video Diffusion" (arXiv 2605.22344). It combines an MLLM-based semantic planner, which reasons over text, source images, source videos and target placeholders, with a DiT-based renderer that performs flow-matching denoising over VAE latent tokens. A Segment-Aware 3D RoPE distinguishes tokens from different visual segments.
The project page demonstrates several tasks: prompt-driven video-to-video editing (V2V), reference-guided editing (RV2V) using images for object, material, weather or style guidance, content insertion of an image or video into a source video, and reference-to-video generation (R2V) with up to five reference images. According to a YouTube creator summary, it is built on Wan 2.2 with high- and low-noise branches of roughly 84 GB each, and a ComfyUI integration was reported to be in progress; these details are not confirmed on the project page.
The provided material does not include a code repository, weights, license or hosted demo link, so availability and terms are unverified. Hardware requirements appear large given the reported checkpoint sizes.
