Wan: Open and Advanced Large-Scale Video Generative Models

We are excited to introduce Wan2.2, a major upgrade to our foundational video models. With Wan2.2, we have focused on incorporating the following innovations:

• 👍 Effective MoE Architecture: Wan2.2 introduces a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture into video diffusion models. By separating the denoising process cross timesteps with specialized powerful expert models, this enlarges the overall model capacity while maintaining the same computational cost.

• 👍 Cinematic-level Aesthetics: Wan2.2 incorporates meticulously curated aesthetic data, complete with detailed labels for lighting, composition, contrast, color tone, and more. This allows for more precise and controllable cinematic style generation, facilitating the creation of videos with customizable aesthetic preferences.

• 👍 Complex Motion Generation: Compared to Wan2.1, Wan2.2 is trained on a significantly larger data, with +65.6% more images and +83.2% more videos. This expansion notably enhances the model's generalization across multiple dimensions such as motions, semantics, and aesthetics, achieving TOP performance among all open-sourced and closed-sourced models.

• 👍 Efficient High-Definition Hybrid TI2V: Wan2.2 open-sources a 5B model built with our advanced Wan2.2-VAE that achieves a compression ratio of 16×16×4. This model supports both text-to-video and image-to-video generation at 720P resolution with 24fps and can also run on consumer-grade graphics cards like 4090. It is one of the fastest 720P@24fps models currently available, capable of serving both the industrial and academic sectors simultaneously.

This repository supports the Wan2.2-T2V-A14B Text-to-Video model and can simultaneously support video generation at 480P and 720P resolutions.

To facilitate implementation, we will start with a basic version of the inference process that skips the prompt extension step.

• Single-GPU inference

💡 This command can run on a GPU with at least 80GB VRAM.

💡If you encounter OOM (Out-of-Memory) issues, you can use the --offload_model True, --convert_model_dtype and --t5_cpu options to reduce GPU memory usage.

• Multi-GPU inference using FSDP + DeepSpeed Ulysses

  We use PyTorch FSDP and DeepSpeed Ulysses to accelerate inference.

Extending the prompts can effectively enrich the details in the generated videos, further enhancing the video quality. Therefore, we recommend enabling prompt extension. We provide the following two methods for prompt extension:

• Use the Dashscope API for extension.
  • Apply for a dashscope.api_key in advance (EN | CN).
  • Configure the environment variable DASH_API_KEY to specify the Dashscope API key. For users of Alibaba Cloud's international site, you also need to set the environment variable DASH_API_URL to 'https://dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/api/v1'. For more detailed instructions, please refer to the dashscope document.
  • Use the qwen-plus model for text-to-video tasks and qwen-vl-max for image-to-video tasks.
  • You can modify the model used for extension with the parameter --prompt_extend_model. For example:

• Using a local model for extension.

  • By default, the Qwen model on HuggingFace is used for this extension. Users can choose Qwen models or other models based on the available GPU memory size.
  • For text-to-video tasks, you can use models like Qwen/Qwen2.5-14B-Instruct, Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct and Qwen/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct.
  • For image-to-video tasks, you can use models like Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct and Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct.
  • Larger models generally provide better extension results but require more GPU memory.
  • You can modify the model used for extension with the parameter --prompt_extend_model , allowing you to specify either a local model path or a Hugging Face model. For example:

This repository supports the Wan2.2-I2V-A14B Image-to-Video model and can simultaneously support video generation at 480P and 720P resolutions.

• Single-GPU inference

This command can run on a GPU with at least 80GB VRAM.

💡For the Image-to-Video task, the size parameter represents the area of the generated video, with the aspect ratio following that of the original input image.

• Multi-GPU inference using FSDP + DeepSpeed Ulysses

• Image-to-Video Generation without prompt

💡The model can generate videos solely from the input image. You can use prompt extension to generate prompt from the image.

The process of prompt extension can be referenced here.

This repository supports the Wan2.2-TI2V-5B Text-Image-to-Video model and can support video generation at 720P resolutions.

• Single-GPU Text-to-Video inference

💡Unlike other tasks, the 720P resolution of the Text-Image-to-Video task is 1280*704 or 704*1280.

This command can run on a GPU with at least 24GB VRAM (e.g, RTX 4090 GPU).

💡If you are running on a GPU with at least 80GB VRAM, you can remove the --offload_model True, --convert_model_dtype and --t5_cpu options to speed up execution.

• Single-GPU Image-to-Video inference

💡If the image parameter is configured, it is an Image-to-Video generation; otherwise, it defaults to a Text-to-Video generation.

💡Similar to Image-to-Video, the size parameter represents the area of the generated video, with the aspect ratio following that of the original input image.

• Multi-GPU inference using FSDP + DeepSpeed Ulysses

The process of prompt extension can be referenced here.

We test the computational efficiency of different Wan2.2 models on different GPUs in the following table. The results are presented in the format: Total time (s) / peak GPU memory (GB).

The parameter settings for the tests presented in this table are as follows: (1) Multi-GPU: 14B: --ulysses_size 4/8 --dit_fsdp --t5_fsdp, 5B: --ulysses_size 4/8 --offload_model True --convert_model_dtype --t5_cpu; Single-GPU: 14B: --offload_model True --convert_model_dtype, 5B: --offload_model True --convert_model_dtype --t5_cpu (--convert_model_dtype converts model parameter types to config.param_dtype); (2) The distributed testing utilizes the built-in FSDP and Ulysses implementations, with FlashAttention3 deployed on Hopper architecture GPUs; (3) Tests were run without the --use_prompt_extend flag; (4) Reported results are the average of multiple samples taken after the warm-up phase.

Wan2.2 builds on the foundation of Wan2.1 with notable improvements in generation quality and model capability. This upgrade is driven by a series of key technical innovations, mainly including the Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, upgraded training data, and high-compression video generation.

Wan2.2 introduces Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture into the video generation diffusion model. MoE has been widely validated in large language models as an efficient approach to increase total model parameters while keeping inference cost nearly unchanged. In Wan2.2, the A14B model series adopts a two-expert design tailored to the denoising process of diffusion models: a high-noise expert for the early stages, focusing on overall layout; and a low-noise expert for the later stages, refining video details. Each expert model has about 14B parameters, resulting in a total of 27B parameters but only 14B active parameters per step, keeping inference computation and GPU memory nearly unchanged.

The transition point between the two experts is determined by the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), a metric that decreases monotonically as the denoising step $t$ increases. At the beginning of the denoising process, $t$ is large and the noise level is high, so the SNR is at its minimum, denoted as ${SNR}{min}$. In this stage, the high-noise expert is activated. We define a threshold step ${t}{moe}$ corresponding to half of the ${SNR}{min}$, and switch to the low-noise expert when $t<{t}{moe}$.

To validate the effectiveness of the MoE architecture, four settings are compared based on their validation loss curves. The baseline Wan2.1 model does not employ the MoE architecture. Among the MoE-based variants, the Wan2.1 & High-Noise Expert reuses the Wan2.1 model as the low-noise expert while uses the Wan2.2's high-noise expert, while the Wan2.1 & Low-Noise Expert uses Wan2.1 as the high-noise expert and employ the Wan2.2's low-noise expert. The Wan2.2 (MoE) (our final version) achieves the lowest validation loss, indicating that its generated video distribution is closest to ground-truth and exhibits superior convergence.

To enable more efficient deployment, Wan2.2 also explores a high-compression design. In addition to the 27B MoE models, a 5B dense model, i.e., TI2V-5B, is released. It is supported by a high-compression Wan2.2-VAE, which achieves a $T\times H\times W$ compression ratio of $4\times16\times16$, increasing the overall compression rate to 64 while maintaining high-quality video reconstruction. With an additional patchification layer, the total compression ratio of TI2V-5B reaches $4\times32\times32$. Without specific optimization, TI2V-5B can generate a 5-second 720P video in under 9 minutes on a single consumer-grade GPU, ranking among the fastest 720P@24fps video generation models. This model also natively supports both text-to-video and image-to-video tasks within a single unified framework, covering both academic research and practical applications.

We compared Wan2.2 with leading closed-source commercial models on our new Wan-Bench 2.0, evaluating performance across multiple crucial dimensions. The results demonstrate that Wan2.2 achieves superior performance compared to these leading models.
