AWS Demonstrates Image and Video Generation With vLLM-Omni on SageMaker AI
AWS’s Part 2 tutorial shows how to deploy FLUX.2-klein and Wan2.1-VACE from one vLLM-Omni Deep Learning Container: generate an image through real-time inference, animate it into video through asynchronous inference, and retrieve the MP4 from Amazon S3.

Full Report
AWS published “Generate images and video with vLLM-Omni on SageMaker AI – Part 2,” a technical tutorial demonstrating two generative-media models deployed from one AWS vLLM-Omni Deep Learning Container on Amazon SageMaker AI. It focuses on an image-to-video workflow carried out in two stages.
The tutorial first uses FLUX.2-klein to generate an image through real-time inference. It then uses Wan2.1-VACE for asynchronous inference to animate that image into a video, and demonstrates retrieving the resulting MP4 from Amazon S3.
The post is the second part of AWS’s vLLM-Omni and SageMaker AI tutorial series. The related Part 1 demonstrates deploying Qwen3-TTS on SageMaker AI and streaming generated speech through a Gradio application over a persistent bidirectional connection. Together, the examples cover speech generation and an image-to-video workflow.
Why This Matters
The tutorial gives developers a concrete example of combining image and video generation in one vLLM-Omni container deployment, while showing where real-time and asynchronous inference fit into the workflow. It also covers the practical handoff from image generation to video creation and MP4 retrieval, rather than presenting only a single-model task.
