VidaForge: Open Research Infrastructure for Video Pretraining Data Recipes

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 6, 2026 · UTC

Video foundation models increasingly rely on large-scale pretraining data, yet the end-to-end data pipelines behind them remain largely closed and difficult to inspect or reuse. Researchers seeking to understand how video data recipes affect model pretraining often need to build substantial infrastructure before testing even a focused hypothesis. We present VIDAFORGE, an open research infrastructure that represents a video data recipe as an executable five-stage workflow from raw videos to training datasets. A decision in this workflow can be varied to construct alternative datasets while pres
