Open-Sora writes its length as a code rule
The repository states that candidate values for num_frames should be 4k+1 and less than 129. It is a rule about valid arguments rather than a duration, and it is the only length value in the register written that way. As of 2026-09-22.
| Column | What the pages state |
|---|---|
| Length, in the vendor's own words | num_frames of 4k+1, under 129 |
| The detail published beside it | Frames, as the constraint the code enforces |
| Resolution, from the same pages | 256px and 768px |
| Hardware, from the same pages | 60.3GB peak at 768px on one GPU |
Inclusion rule. The value this page is about, the detail the vendor attached to it, and the two columns that change how it should be read. A column the vendor left empty keeps its row and says so. Order. This column first, then its detail, then the two columns that qualify it.
1Developer documentation, precisely stated
4k+1 under 129 is unambiguous: 1, 5, 9 and so on up to 125. A reader writing a script knows exactly which values are legal, which is more than a stated maximum would give them.
It is also the least readable form for anyone asking how long a clip is. The rule encodes an architectural constraint rather than an output specification.
2Why the plus one matters
Frame counts of the form 4k+1 usually mean a first frame plus groups of four, which is a property of how the model compresses time. The rule is leaking the architecture, helpfully.
It also means the ceiling is 125 rather than 128, which a reader who rounded to the nearest power of two would get wrong.
3No rate, so no seconds
As with two other releases here, there is no frame rate, so 125 frames does not convert. At 24 FPS it is about five seconds and that figure is not on these pages.
The resolutions the model supports, 256px and 768px, are stated separately. The output space is therefore described by two rules and no example.
