Public beta. Date from the wan3.0-video Model Studio/Qwen Cloud listing (2026-08-06); Alibaba's press statement and Hangzhou showcase followed on 2026-08-10. No formal Alibaba announcement page, technical report, or model card found - announcement_url left null like 2.5/2.6. Closed, API/platform-only (invitation/preview at beta); no 3.0 weights on HF/GitHub/ModelScope. Video output only despite multimodal inputs - unlike 2.5-2.7 there is no confirmed image generation or companion Wan3.0-Image model, so it stays off the image timeline. Rumored 60B params, 4K output, and Apache 2.0 open weights are unverified.

Wan 2.7

Thinking Mode plans composition before render; first+last frame control; 9-grid multi-image synthesis; R2V for reference-consistent generation; native audio; T2V, I2V, R2V, and video editing in one model family
