AB  - The Wan model family, presented in a paper published in March 2025, is an Apache-licensed open video generation system covering text-to-video, image-to-video and editing tasks. The smallest variant (1.3 billion parameters) runs within approximately 8 gigabytes of VRAM, a threshold accessible on student-grade hardware. At release the Wan models led the VBench benchmark, outperforming closed-source competitors. Selected for the Knowledge Base over HunyuanVideo and Mochi on the basis of its distinctive educator value: the open licence and hardware accessibility make it the open video model a teaching lab can actually deploy.
