# SANA-WM Example Training Dataset

This repository contains the Sekai-Game training subset and LTX2 VAE latent cache used by the SANA-WM stage-1 example training configs.

## License and Terms

This dataset is redistributed for non-commercial research use only under the same terms as the official Sekai project. See `LICENSE` and `NOTICE.md`.

The raw videos, camera trajectories, annotations, and derived VAE latent cache are all subject to the Sekai non-commercial research-only terms. Do not use this dataset, or derivatives of it, for commercial purposes unless you have obtained separate rights from the original rights holders.

## Source

This is a redistributed/repacked SANA-WM training subset derived from the official Sekai project:

- Project/code: https://github.com/Lixsp11/sekai-codebase
- Official dataset hub: https://huggingface.co/datasets/Lixsp11/Sekai-Project
- Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.15675

This repository is not the official Sekai release.

The raw zip contains 1,618 MP4 clips and 1,618 JSON sidecars. The VAE cache zip contains 1,618 NPZ latent files. See `data_manifest.json` for byte sizes and entry counts.

## Use with SANA-WM Stage-1 Training

Download the dataset into the root of an NVlabs-Sana checkout so that the `data/...` paths line up with the example configs:

```bash
cd NVlabs-Sana
hf download Efficient-Large-Model/SANA-WM-example-training-dataset \
  --repo-type dataset \
  --local-dir .
```

Then run a SANA-WM stage-1 config that expects:

```yaml
data:
  data_dir:
    sekai_game: data/sekai_game_train_961frames_16fps_ovl640
  vae_cache_dir: data/vae_cache/LTX2VAE_diffusers_704x1280/sekai_game_train_961frames_16fps_ovl640
```

If you download the dataset elsewhere, update those two config paths accordingly.
