Wan: Open and Advanced Large-Scale Video Generative Models <be>

In this repository, we present Wan2.1, a comprehensive and open suite of video foundation models that pushes the boundaries of video generation. Wan2.1 offers these key features:

• 👍 SOTA Performance: Wan2.1 consistently outperforms existing open-source models and state-of-the-art commercial solutions across multiple benchmarks.
• 👍 Supports Consumer-grade GPUs: The T2V-1.3B model requires only 8.19 GB VRAM, making it compatible with almost all consumer-grade GPUs. It can generate a 5-second 480P video on an RTX 4090 in about 4 minutes (without optimization techniques like quantization). Its performance is even comparable to some closed-source models.
• 👍 Multiple Tasks: Wan2.1 excels in Text-to-Video, Image-to-Video, Video Editing, Text-to-Image, and Video-to-Audio, advancing the field of video generation.
• 👍 Visual Text Generation: Wan2.1 is the first video model capable of generating both Chinese and English text, featuring robust text generation that enhances its practical applications.
• 👍 Powerful Video VAE: Wan-VAE delivers exceptional efficiency and performance, encoding and decoding 1080P videos of any length while preserving temporal information, making it an ideal foundation for video and image generation.

This repository contains our I2V-14B model, which is capable of generating 720P high-definition videos. After thousands of rounds of human evaluations, this model has outperformed both closed-source and open-source alternatives, achieving state-of-the-art performance.

Quickstart

Installation

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/Wan-Video/Wan2.1.git
cd Wan2.1

Install dependencies:

# Ensure torch >= 2.4.0
pip install -r requirements.txt

Model Download

💡Note: The 1.3B model is capable of generating videos at 720P resolution. 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-I2V-14B-720P-Diffusers --local-dir ./Wan2.1-I2V-14B-720P-Diffusers

Download models using 🤖 modelscope-cli:

pip install modelscope
modelscope download Wan-AI/Wan2.1-I2V-14B-720P-Diffusers --local_dir ./Wan2.1-I2V-14B-720P-Diffusers

Run Image-to-Video Generation

Similar to Text-to-Video, Image-to-Video is also divided into processes with and without the prompt extension step. The specific parameters and their corresponding settings are as follows:

<table> <thead> <tr> <th rowspan="2">Task</th> <th colspan="2">Resolution</th> <th rowspan="2">Model</th> </tr> <tr> <th>480P</th> <th>720P</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>i2v-14B</td> <td style="color: green;">❌</td> <td style="color: green;">✔️</td> <td>Wan2.1-I2V-14B-720P</td> </tr> <tr> <td>i2v-14B</td> <td style="color: green;">✔️</td> <td style="color: red;">❌</td> <td>Wan2.1-T2V-14B-480P</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

(1) Without Prompt Extention

• Single-GPU inference

python generate.py --task i2v-14B --size 1280*720 --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-I2V-14B-720P --image examples/i2v_input.JPG --prompt "Summer beach vacation style, a white cat wearing sunglasses sits on a surfboard. The fluffy-furred feline gazes directly at the camera with a relaxed expression. Blurred beach scenery forms the background featuring crystal-clear waters, distant green hills, and a blue sky dotted with white clouds. The cat assumes a naturally relaxed posture, as if savoring the sea breeze and warm sunlight. A close-up shot highlights the feline's intricate details and the refreshing atmosphere of the seaside."

💡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 + xDiT USP

pip install "xfuser>=0.4.1"
torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 generate.py --task i2v-14B --size 1280*720 --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-I2V-14B-720P --image examples/i2v_input.JPG --dit_fsdp --t5_fsdp --ulysses_size 8 --prompt "Summer beach vacation style, a white cat wearing sunglasses sits on a surfboard. The fluffy-furred feline gazes directly at the camera with a relaxed expression. Blurred beach scenery forms the background featuring crystal-clear waters, distant green hills, and a blue sky dotted with white clouds. The cat assumes a naturally relaxed posture, as if savoring the sea breeze and warm sunlight. A close-up shot highlights the feline's intricate details and the refreshing atmosphere of the seaside."

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.

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.

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. We then compute the total score by performing a weighted calculation on the scores of each dimension, utilizing weights derived from human preferences in the matching process. 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.
