Wan: Open and Advanced Large-Scale Video Generative Models

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 repo contains our I2V-14B model, which is capable of generating 480P videos, offering advantages in terms of fast generation and excellent quality.

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
ModelsDownload LinkNotes
T2V-14B🤗 Huggingface 🤖 ModelScopeSupports both 480P and 720P
I2V-14B-720P🤗 Huggingface 🤖 ModelScopeSupports 720P
I2V-14B-480P🤗 Huggingface 🤖 ModelScopeSupports 480P
T2V-1.3B🤗 Huggingface 🤖 ModelScopeSupports 480P

💡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-480P-Diffusers --local-dir ./Wan2.1-I2V-14B-480P-Diffusers

Download models using 🤖 modelscope-cli:

pip install modelscope
modelscope download Wan-AI/Wan2.1-I2V-14B-480P-Diffusers --local_dir ./Wan2.1-I2V-14B-480P-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:

(1) Without Prompt Extention
  • Single-GPU inference
python generate.py --task i2v-14B --size 832*480 --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-I2V-14B-480P --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 832*480 --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-I2V-14B-480P --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.

Running it yourself

Run it on a rented GPU

Rent a machine by the hour. ComfyUI is installed on it. Open ComfyUI through the tunnel, then Templates → Wan 2.1 Image to Video: it loads ComfyUI's own build of this model, the files above.

# on your rented machine: pip install diffusers transformers accelerate ftfy
import torch
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline
from diffusers.utils import export_to_video

pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained("Wan-AI/Wan2.1-I2V-14B-480P-Diffusers", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16).to("cuda")
frames = pipe(prompt="a drone shot over a forest at sunrise").frames[0]
export_to_video(frames, "/workspace/out.mp4", fps=16)
