However, due to limited training at this resolution, the results are generally less stable compared to 480P. For optimal performance, we recommend using 480P resolution. Download models using 🤗 huggingface-cli: ``` pip install "huggingface_hub[cli]" huggingface-cli download Wan-AI/Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B --local-dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B ``` Download models using 🤖 modelscope-cli: ``` pip install modelscope modelscope download Wan-AI/Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B --local_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B ``` #### Run Text-to-Video Generation This repository supports two Text-to-Video models (1.3B and 14B) and two resolutions (480P and 720P). The parameters and configurations for these models are as follows:

Task	Resolution		Model
Task	480P	720P	Model
t2v-14B	✔️	✔️	Wan2.1-T2V-14B
t2v-1.3B	✔️	❌	Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B

##### (1) Without Prompt Extention To facilitate implementation, we will start with a basic version of the inference process that skips the [prompt extension](#2-using-prompt-extention) step. - Single-GPU inference ``` python generate.py --task t2v-1.3B --size 832*480 --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B --sample_shift 8 --sample_guide_scale 6 --prompt "Two anthropomorphic cats in comfy boxing gear and bright gloves fight intensely on a spotlighted stage." ``` If you encounter OOM (Out-of-Memory) issues, you can use the `--offload_model True` and `--t5_cpu` options to reduce GPU memory usage. For example, on an RTX 4090 GPU: ``` python generate.py --task t2v-1.3B --size 832*480 --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B --offload_model True --t5_cpu --sample_shift 8 --sample_guide_scale 6 --prompt "Two anthropomorphic cats in comfy boxing gear and bright gloves fight intensely on a spotlighted stage." ``` > 💡Note: If you are using the `T2V-1.3B` model, we recommend setting the parameter `--sample_guide_scale 6`. The `--sample_shift parameter` can be adjusted within the range of 8 to 12 based on the performance. - Multi-GPU inference using FSDP + xDiT USP ``` pip install "xfuser>=0.4.1" torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 generate.py --task t2v-1.3B --size 832*480 --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B --dit_fsdp --t5_fsdp --ulysses_size 8 --sample_shift 8 --sample_guide_scale 6 --prompt "Two anthropomorphic cats in comfy boxing gear and bright gloves fight intensely on a spotlighted stage." ``` ##### (2) Using Prompt Extention 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](https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/en/model-studio/getting-started/first-api-call-to-qwen) | [CN](https://help.aliyun.com/zh/model-studio/getting-started/first-api-call-to-qwen)). - 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](https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/en/model-studio/developer-reference/use-qwen-by-calling-api?spm=a2c63.p38356.0.i1). - 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: ``` DASH_API_KEY=your_key python generate.py --task t2v-1.3B --size 832*480 --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B --prompt "Two anthropomorphic cats in comfy boxing gear and bright gloves fight intensely on a spotlighted stage" --use_prompt_extend --prompt_extend_method 'dashscope' --prompt_extend_target_lang 'ch' ``` - Using a local model for extension. - By default, the Qwen model on HuggingFace is used for this extension. Users can choose 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: ``` python generate.py --task t2v-1.3B --size 832*480 --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B --prompt "Two anthropomorphic cats in comfy boxing gear and bright gloves fight intensely on a spotlighted stage" --use_prompt_extend --prompt_extend_method 'local_qwen' --prompt_extend_target_lang 'ch' ``` ##### (3) Runing local gradio ``` cd gradio # if one uses dashscope’s API for prompt extension DASH_API_KEY=your_key python t2v_1.3B_singleGPU.py --prompt_extend_method 'dashscope' --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B # if one uses a local model for prompt extension python t2v_1.3B_singleGPU.py --prompt_extend_method 'local_qwen' --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B ``` ## Evaluation We employ our **Wan-Bench** framework to evaluate the performance of the T2V-1.3B model, with the results displayed in the table below. The results indicate that our smaller 1.3B model surpasses the overall metrics of larger open-source models, demonstrating the effectiveness of **WanX2.1**'s architecture and the data construction pipeline.

## Computational Efficiency on Different GPUs We test the computational efficiency of different **Wan2.1** 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) For the 1.3B model on 8 GPUs, set `--ring_size 8` and `--ulysses_size 1`; > (2) For the 14B model on 1 GPU, use `--offload_model True`; > (3) For the 1.3B model on a single 4090 GPU, set `--offload_model True --t5_cpu`; > (4) For all testings, no prompt extension was applied, meaning `--use_prompt_extend` was not enabled. ------- ## Introduction of Wan2.1 **Wan2.1** is designed on the mainstream diffusion transformer paradigm, achieving significant advancements in generative capabilities through a series of innovations. These include our novel spatio-temporal variational autoencoder (VAE), scalable training strategies, large-scale data construction, and automated evaluation metrics. Collectively, these contributions enhance the model’s performance and versatility. ##### (1) 3D Variational Autoencoders We propose a novel 3D causal VAE architecture, termed **Wan-VAE** specifically designed for video generation. By combining multiple strategies, we improve spatio-temporal compression, reduce memory usage, and ensure temporal causality. **Wan-VAE** demonstrates significant advantages in performance efficiency compared to other open-source VAEs. Furthermore, our **Wan-VAE** can encode and decode unlimited-length 1080P videos without losing historical temporal information, making it particularly well-suited for video generation tasks.

##### (2) Video Diffusion DiT **Wan2.1** is designed using the Flow Matching framework within the paradigm of mainstream Diffusion Transformers. Our model's architecture uses the T5 Encoder to encode multilingual text input, with cross-attention in each transformer block embedding the text into the model structure. Additionally, we employ an MLP with a Linear layer and a SiLU layer to process the input time embeddings and predict six modulation parameters individually. This MLP is shared across all transformer blocks, with each block learning a distinct set of biases. Our experimental findings reveal a significant performance improvement with this approach at the same parameter scale.

| Model | Dimension | Input Dimension | Output Dimension | Feedforward Dimension | Frequency Dimension | Number of Heads | Number of Layers | |--------|-----------|-----------------|------------------|-----------------------|---------------------|-----------------|------------------| | 1.3B | 1536 | 16 | 16 | 8960 | 256 | 12 | 30 | | 14B | 5120 | 16 | 16 | 13824 | 256 | 40 | 40 | ##### Data We curated and deduplicated a candidate dataset comprising a vast amount of image and video data. During the data curation process, we designed a four-step data cleaning process, focusing on fundamental dimensions, visual quality and motion quality. Through the robust data processing pipeline, we can easily obtain high-quality, diverse, and large-scale training sets of images and videos. ![figure1](assets/data_for_diff_stage.jpg "figure1") ##### Comparisons to SOTA We compared **Wan2.1** with leading open-source and closed-source models to evaluate the performace. Using our carefully designed set of 1,035 internal prompts, we tested across 14 major dimensions and 26 sub-dimensions. Then we calculated the total score through a weighted average based on the importance of each dimension. The detailed results are shown in the table below. These results demonstrate our model's superior performance compared to both open-source and closed-source models. ![figure1](assets/vben_vs_sota.png "figure1") ## Citation If you find our work helpful, please cite us. ``` @article{wan2.1, title = {Wan: Open and Advanced Large-Scale Video Generative Models}, author = {Wan Team}, journal = {}, year = {2025} } ``` ## License Agreement The models in this repository are licensed under the Apache 2.0 License.
