💡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-T2V-14B --local-dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-14B

Download models using modelscope-cli:

pip install modelscope
modelscope download Wan-AI/Wan2.1-T2V-14B --local_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-14B

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 step.

Single-GPU inference

python generate.py  --task t2v-14B --size 1280*720 --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-14B --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-14B --size 1280*720 --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-14B --dit_fsdp --t5_fsdp --ulysses_size 8 --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:

Usage

To generate a video, use the following command:

export PYTORCH_ENABLE_MPS_FALLBACK=1
python generate.py --task t2v-1.3B --size "480*832" --frame_num 16 --sample_steps 25 --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B --offload_model True --t5_cpu --device mps --prompt "Lion running under snow in Samarkand" --save_file output_video.mp4

DASH_API_KEY=your_key python generate.py --task t2v-14B --size 1280*720 --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-14B --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 Qwen models or other models 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-14B --size 1280*720 --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-14B --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_14B_singleGPU.py --prompt_extend_method 'dashscope' --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-14B

if one uses a local model for prompt extension

python t2v_14B_singleGPU.py --prompt_extend_method 'local_qwen' --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-14B



#### 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

The fluffy-furred feline gazes directly at the camera with a relaxed expression. Blurred beach scenery forms the background featuring cr 8000 ystal-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.

#### Run Text-to-Image Generation

Wan2.1 is a unified model for both image and video generation. Since it was trained on both types of data, it can also generate images. The command for generating images is similar to video generation, as follows:

##### (1) Without Prompt Extention

- Single-GPU inference

python generate.py --task t2i-14B --size 1024*1024 --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-14B --prompt '一个朴素端庄的美人'


- Multi-GPU inference using FSDP + xDiT USP

torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 generate.py --dit_fsdp --t5_fsdp --ulysses_size 8 --base_seed 0 --frame_num 1 --task t2i-14B --size 1024*1024 --prompt '一个朴素端庄的美人' --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-14B


##### (2) With Prompt Extention

- Single-GPU inference

python generate.py --task t2i-14B --size 1024*1024 --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-14B --prompt '一个朴素端庄的美人' --use_prompt_extend


- Multi-GPU inference using FSDP + xDiT USP

torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 generate.py --dit_fsdp --t5_fsdp --ulysses_size 8 --base_seed 0 --frame_num 1 --task t2i-14B --size 1024*1024 --ckpt_dir ./Wan2.1-T2V-14B --prompt '一个朴素端庄的美人' --use_prompt_extend



## Manual Evaluation

##### (1) Text-to-Video Evaluation

Through manual evaluation, the results generated after prompt extension are superior to those from both closed-source and open-source models.

<div align="center">
    <img src="assets/t2v_res.jpg" alt="" style="width: 80%;" />
</div>


##### (2) Image-to-Video Evaluation

We also conducted extensive manual evaluations to evaluate the performance of the Image-to-Video model, and the results are presented in the table below. The results clearly indicate that **Wan2.1** outperforms both closed-source and open-source models.

<div align="center">
    <img src="assets/i2v_res.png" alt="" style="width: 80%;" />
</div>


## 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)**.


<div align="center">
    <img src="assets/comp_effic.png" alt="" style="width: 80%;" />
</div>

> 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.

> 💡Note: T2V-14B is slower than I2V-14B because the former samples 50 steps while the latter uses 40 steps.

## 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.


<div align="center">
    <img src="assets/video_vae_res.jpg" alt="" style="width: 80%;" />
</div>


##### (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.

| 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. 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.
