Training

Quick Start

Single-node

bash examples/train/run.sh <config.yaml> [--dotted.key value ...]

The script auto-detects available GPUs. Override with NUM_GPUS:

NUM_GPUS=4 bash examples/train/run.sh \
    examples/train/configs/fine_tuning/wan/t2v.yaml

Multi-node (Slurm)

bash examples/train/run_slurm.sh <config.yaml> <num_nodes> [--dotted.key value ...]

bash examples/train/run_slurm.sh \
    examples/train/configs/fine_tuning/wan/t2v.yaml 4 \
    --training.distributed.hsdp_shard_dim 8 \
    --training.distributed.hsdp_replicate_dim 4

Slurm environment variables:

Variable	Default	Description
`PARTITION`	`main`	Slurm partition
`NUM_GPUS`	`8`	GPUs per node
`CPUS_PER_TASK`	`128`	CPUs per task
`MEM`	`1440G`	Memory per node
`EXCLUDE`	`""`	Nodes to exclude

Overriding config values

Any config field can be overridden from the command line using dotted keys:

bash examples/train/run.sh examples/train/configs/fine_tuning/wan/t2v.yaml \
    --training.optimizer.learning_rate 1e-5 \
    --training.loop.max_train_steps 1000 \
    --training.checkpoint.output_dir outputs/my_experiment

Resuming from a checkpoint

bash examples/train/run.sh examples/train/configs/fine_tuning/wan/t2v.yaml \
    --training.checkpoint.resume_from_checkpoint outputs/my_experiment/checkpoint-500

W&B Logging

Training metrics and validation videos are logged to Weights & Biases. Set your API key before launching:

export WANDB_API_KEY=your_key_here

To disable W&B (e.g. for local debugging):

export WANDB_MODE=offline

The project name and run name are set in the config under training.tracker:

training:
  tracker:
    project_name: my_project
    run_name: my_run

The featured QAD Wan2.1 MixKit scenario runs Attn-QAT supervised fine-tuning, checkpoint export, and three-step DMD2. See the Attn-QAT training guide.
