Gojira video rollout: 10 open-weight video models on DGX Spark
We published ten self-hosted video models to the public Gojira section, routed them through a queue-backed Spark worker, then walked the rollout all the way from cold-start failure to a validated hosted Wan action clip featuring King Kong, Yeti, and Gojira in the same scene.
Five text-to-video lanes and five image-to-video lanes are now exposed under Spark on the Gojira route.
First completed hosted Wan action render, delivered as an 81-frame MP4.
Warm-cache public render time for the validated Wan 2.1 T2V 1.3B path.
Observed GPU ceiling during the successful run, with power peaking at 83.76W.
Executive read
What this rollout actually proved
- The public Gojira video surface is live. Spark now advertises ten queue-backed video models through
chat.neonflux.co/gojira. - Wan 2.1 T2V 1.3B is the first fully validated production lane. It returned a hosted MP4, thumbnail, and public asset URL through the same queue path exposed to users.
- The rollout blockers were operational, not creative. We hit three issues in order: cold-start timeout during Hugging Face hydration, progress-bar noise corrupting the JSON handoff, and a missing OpenCV export dependency.
- After those fixes landed, the fourth public Wan attempt completed cleanly and the asset was downloaded locally for review.
Rollout sequence
Four Wan attempts, three blockers, one validated result
The same action prompt was used on every attempt. That keeps the comparison honest: the duration swings come from infrastructure and runtime fixes, not prompt drift.
| Attempt | Status | Latency | Observed blocker | Fix applied |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | failed | 40.02 min | Cold-start model hydration exceeded the original 40-minute public runtime timeout. | Raised SPARK_HFVIDEO_TIMEOUT_MS to 7200000 and completed a direct Spark prefetch. |
| 2 | failed | 5.75 min | Diffusers progress output polluted stdout and broke the JSON handoff back to the queue worker. | Patched generate_hf_video.py to silence progress output and return clean JSON only. |
| 3 | failed | 5.56 min | The Spark video runtime finished inference but could not export MP4 because OpenCV was missing. | Installed opencv-python-headless into the Spark runtime venv. |
| 4 | completed | 5.91 min | All blockers cleared; the job returned a hosted video asset and thumbnail. | Validated the hosted render, saved the MP4 locally, and left background prefetch running for the remaining catalog. |
Published catalog
The 10-model Gojira video stack
The video catalog is balanced on purpose: five prompt-only text-to-video lanes for quick ideation, then five image-to-video lanes that ask for a source keyframe when you want more scene control.

Validated render
The first completed public Gojira action clip
This is the first hosted MP4 produced after the rollout fixes landed. The clip came back through the public queue with a thumbnail, a persistent asset URL, and a local review bundle on the Mac running this deployment workspace.
