Wan 3.0

Name: Wan 3.0
Rating: 7

30-second video generation with native audio and document-to-video, aimed at production workflows.

About

Wan 3.0 is Alibaba's hosted video model, launched August 24, 2026 after a public beta that began August 6. It generates clips up to 30 seconds in a single pass at up to 1080p, double the 15-second ceiling of Wan 2.7, with native audio on by default and support for up to 10 image, 5 video, and 5 audio references in one prompt.

The unusual part is document-to-video: you can feed it PDFs, slide decks, spreadsheets, or web pages and get a narrated explainer video without writing a script first. Standard pricing is $0.05 per second at 480p, $0.10 at 720p, and $0.20 at 1080p, well under Google's Veo 3.1 rates. Weights are not published; the open Wan line still stops at Wan 2.2 under Apache 2.0. Alibaba has published no benchmarks behind its consistency claims.
