SANA-WM achieves visual quality comparable to large-scale industrial baselines such as LingBot-World and HY-WorldPlay, while significantly improving efficiency. Four core designs drive our architecture: (1) Hybrid Linear Attention combines frame-wise Gated DeltaNet (GDN) with softmax attention for memory-efficient long-context modeling. (2) Dual-Branch Camera Control ensures precise 6-DoF trajectory adherence. (3) Two-Stage Generation Pipeline applies a long-video refiner to stage-1 outputs, improving quality and consistency across sequences. (4) Robust Annotation Pipeline extracts accurate metric-scale 6-DoF camera poses from public videos to yield high-quality, spatiotemporally consistent action labels. Driven by these designs, SANA-WMdemonstrates remarkable efficiency across data, training compute, and inference hardware: it uses only $\\sim$213K public video clips with metric-scale pose supervision, completes training in 15 days on 64 H100s, and generates each 60s clip on a single GPU; its distilled variant can be deployed on a single RTX 5090 with NVFP4 quantization to denoise a 60s 720p clip in 34s. On our one-minute world-model benchmark, SANA-WM demonstrates stronger action-following accuracy than prior open-source baselines and achieves comparable visual quality at $36\\times$ higher throughput for scalable world modeling.\n ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/8lOVNnuwhrA3rxrDMv7Osu4j_t1-jORooO6NfGcQhcw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81Zjg1/YzRhODczMDU4MmE4/OGMwN2FiNDlmYzI2/MDliMi5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
