SANA-Video is a small, ultra-efficient diffusion model designed for rapid generation of high-quality, minute-long videos at resolutions up to 720×1280.

Key innovations and efficiency drivers include:

(1) Linear DiT: Leverages linear attention as the core operation, offering significantly more efficiency than vanilla attention when processing the massive number of tokens required for video generation.

(2) Constant-Memory KV Cache for Block Linear Attention: Implements a block-wise autoregressive approach that uses the cumulative properties of linear attention to maintain global context at a fixed memory cost, eliminating the traditional KV cache bottleneck and enabling efficient, minute-long video synthesis.

SANA-Video achieves exceptional efficiency and cost savings: its training cost is only 1% of MovieGen's (12 days on 64 H100 GPUs). Compared to modern state-of-the-art small diffusion models (e.g., Wan 2.1 and SkyReel-V2), SANA-Video maintains competitive performance while being 16× faster in measured latency. SANA-Video is deployable on RTX 5090 GPUs, accelerating the inference speed for a 5-second 720p video from 71s down to 29s (2.4× speedup), setting a new standard for low-cost, high-quality video generation.

Uses

Direct Use

The model is intended for research purposes only. Possible research areas and tasks include

• Generation of artworks and use in design and other artistic processes.

• Applications in educational or creative tools.

• Research on generative models.

• Safe deployment of models which have the potential to generate harmful content.

• Probing and understanding the limitations and biases of generative models.

Excluded uses are described below.

Out-of-Scope Use

The model was not trained to be factual or true representations of people or events, and therefore using the model to generate such content is out-of-scope for the abilities of this model.

Limitations and Bias

Limitations

• The model does not achieve perfect photorealism
• The model cannot render complex legible text
• fingers, .etc in general may not be generated properly.
• The autoencoding part of the model is lossy.

Bias

While the capabilities of video generation models are impressive, they can also reinforce or exacerbate social biases.
