Alibaba opens Wan3.0 beta with 30-second video generation and document-to-video input
Alibaba opened Wan3.0 in beta on August 24, raising a single video generation run to 30 seconds and listing long-clip consistency for characters, props, sound, spatial relationships, and visual style as a release capability.

The API costs 0.3, 0.6, and 1.2 yuan per second at 480P, 720P, and 1080P; a 30-second 1080P generation is 36 yuan, or 25.2 yuan during the August 24 to September 23 30% promotion.
Alibaba made Wan3.0 available through Alibaba Cloud Bailian, Wan Jing Yi Ke, the Wanxiang website, and Qwen Chat's desktop client, while rolling it out gradually in the Qwen app.
The article says ByteDance Seedance 2.5 had already reached 30-second single clips, while independent benchmarks for Wan3.0 have not yet appeared.
