Summary

At $0.15 per second of video it is fairly expensive; a typical video model costs $0.12.

What is distinctive about Wan 2.6 is its three hosted paths. Depending on the variant, T2V and I2V generate up to 15 seconds at 720p or 1080p, while R2V uses reference images and videos, supports multiple characters, and generates 2 to 10 seconds.

Wan 2.2 A14B belongs to a different Wan branch with open weights and no native audio.

Video sample from our test

This video exists as a documented run for the exact model version. Playback is muted.

Motion and physical consistency

This sample tests Anatomy, object consistency, camera tracking, rain, and reflections.

Prompt and settings

Generate exactly one continuous five-second 16:9 cinematic video. A fictional bicycle courier in a mustard-yellow raincoat rides a red city bicycle from left to right across a rain-wet Hamburg street at blue hour for the entire clip. The camera tracks her smoothly at waist height. Both hands remain visible on the handlebars, the bicycle geometry stays physically correct, and a transparent umbrella fixed to the bicycle moves naturally in the wind. Wet-street reflections and raindrops follow realistic physics. No cuts, no slow motion, no text, no logos, no subtitles, and no audio.

The source publishes speed-to-first-frame and cost-efficiency axes, but its inspected methodology does not define them as measured performance results or disclose units, direction, or a scoring formula.
