Wan is Alibaba's full-spectrum video and image model suite, one of the most complete open-weight video families available. Through RunAPI, all Wan versions share a single key and unified billing.
A single RunAPI API key unlocks the whole model catalog across all providers. No separate accounts to create, no API keys to rotate per integration, and no credential management overhead. Add a new model to your app by changing one parameter.
Per-call pricing in USD, billed monthly into a single invoice. No subscription tiers, no minimum spend, and failed generations are never charged. The pricing page and check_pricing API show exact costs before you commit to a model.
Typed schemas, parameter constraints, and setup notes are packaged in the model skill so your implementation starts from the right contract. The skill loads into Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and VS Code — your agent knows the correct request shape before you write a line of code.
Versions 2.2, 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7, each adding new capabilities. 2.7 is the latest with first-and-last-frame control and multi-reference video generation.
The speech-to-video endpoint on Wan 2.2 takes audio input and generates video with lip-synced motion driven by the speech content.
Yes — Wan 2.6+ includes video editing and Wan 2.7 adds a dedicated video editing endpoint with subject and camera control.
Partly — Wan 2.1 and 2.2 are released as open weights under the Apache 2.0 license. The later versions (2.5, 2.6, and 2.7) are closed, API-only models.
Wan 2.7 R2V uses the text-to-video endpoint with reference image, video, and audio inputs to anchor a character's appearance and voice across clips.
Pick the cheapest variant that meets your quality bar. Most teams start on the fast variant and graduate to pro for production.
