Overview

Wan AI is a leading AI video generation model and platform that turns text, images, and audio into cinematic, production-ready video. Built and maintained at https://wan.video, Wan AI combines open-source research models with a robust API platform to serve creators, developers, and enterprises.

The Wan2.x family (including Wan2.2 and Wan2.5) introduces innovations like a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) diffusion architecture and a high-compression Wan2.2-VAE to offer superior visual fidelity while keeping inference costs practical. That means users can generate 720P, 24fps clips with rich temporal-spatial dynamics and realistic textures, often on a single consumer GPU such as the 4090.

Wan AI supports multiple generation modes: text-to-video, image-to-video, speech-to-video, text-to-image, and instruction-based video editing. The platform focuses on synchronized audio-visual outputs, high-fidelity voice and ambient sound integration, and accurate on-screen text rendering. Wan2.2 emphasizes cinematic aesthetics via curated aesthetic datasets, improved prompt adherence, and better motion stability compared to previous releases.

For practitioners and researchers, Wan publishes open-source checkpoints and technical details on its GitHub and research pages linked from https://wan.video, enabling reproducible experiments and custom deployments. On the integration side, Wan AI exposes high-performance, developer-friendly APIs for production use. The API supports base64, file, and URL inputs and is designed for high-speed inference through parallel processing and distributed acceleration.

Wan AI is well suited for AIGC product teams building generative video features, marketing teams producing short-form clips, game studios prototyping animated sequences, and research labs exploring multimodal reasoning. Whether you need a quick text-driven promo, an audio-driven character animation, or fine-grained instruction-based edits, Wan AI blends open-source innovation with enterprise-grade APIs to accelerate video creation workflows.
