Alibaba Cloud's Wan3.0 video model outputs a single 30-second long take and accepts up to five video references
- Alibaba Cloud released the upgraded Wan3.0 video model, which generates a single 30-second long take in one pass, up from the roughly 5-second clips that dominated the field and the 15-second ceiling that followed.
- Wan3.0 adds an omni-reference mechanism that accepts up to five video references at once, replacing the earlier limit to static image references and giving what Alibaba calls director-level control over style and storytelling.
- Alibaba says production teams can now generate coherent long takes directly and edit afterward against the script, instead of stitching together hundreds or thousands of short clips.
- The model is available to developers and enterprise users through Alibaba Cloud's Model Studio and Qwen Cloud APIs; the announcement lists no benchmarks, model size, or pricing.
