Nvidia releases Sana-WM open-source world model
——0——
Nvidia released SANA-WM, a 2.6 billion parameter open-source world model for generating controllable video and simulated environments. The model produces up to 60-second 720p videos from a single image, text prompt, and 6-DoF camera controls while maintaining physics consistency. It runs locally on consumer GPUs such as the RTX 5090, generating clips in around 34 seconds after training on public datasets.

#867Alexander Doria@DORIALEXANDERGreat Nvidia release but maybe it should be time to admit "world model" is more about intent than architecture. This is generative video with controls, not related to JEPA.

#867Alexander Doria@DORIALEXANDERAside from the fact they cannot easily manipulate visuals, no reason not to extend this to language AR models/agents
