Alibaba opens Wan3.0 beta with 30-second 1080p video and document-to-video inputs
- Alibaba's Wan3.0 generates video clips up to 30 seconds in one pass at up to 1080p, doubling Wan2.7's 15-second limit.
- The model accepts text, images, audio, video, web pages, PDFs, and PowerPoint files, allowing source documents and slides to be converted into structured video output.
- Wan3.0 is priced at $0.05 per second at 480p, $0.10 at 720p, and $0.20 at 1080p, or $12 per minute at the highest tier versus $0.40 per second for Google Veo 3.1's standard tier.
- Access remains staged: Wan3.0 is in application-based beta on Alibaba Cloud Model Studio and Qwen Cloud, API access is rolling out, and wan.video is planned as a members-only consumer site.
- Alibaba has kept Wan3.0's weights closed, unlike earlier open-source Wan releases; the model has not yet received independent benchmark results.
