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

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys wan2-1-i2v-720p for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (wan2-1-i2v-720p below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/videos/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"wan2-1-i2v-720p","prompt":"a drone shot over a forest"}'
