About

What SANA-WM_chunk_causal is

This repository contains the chunk-causal Stage-1 teacher DiT checkpoint for SANA-WM. It is intended to be used with the public SANA-WM code and reuses the VAE and refiner from Efficient-Large-Model/SANA-WM_bidirectional.

Files

  • config.yaml: inference config with scheduler.vis_sampler: chunk_flow_euler.
  • dit/sana_wm_chunk_causal_1600m_720p.safetensors: chunk-causal Stage-1 teacher checkpoint.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys sana-wm-chunk-causal for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (sana-wm-chunk-causal below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/videos/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"sana-wm-chunk-causal","prompt":"a drone shot over a forest"}'
