Summary

SolarWM unifies 1.43 million clips and adapts four 5B-to-33B video backbones behind shared training and inference interfaces.

SolarWM converts clips from ten datasets into a frame-aligned record carrying observations, metric camera geometry, captions, quality metadata, selection decisions and provenance. A backbone-native layer then applies one three-stage recipe across four models based on Wan2.2, LTX-2.5 and MiniMax-H3 without erasing their native representations. The authors say causal models trained on five-second sequences can support interactive rollouts from minutes to hours, and they are releasing the data, pipeline, recipes, weights and framework; those are preprint claims, not independent replication.
