Wan
WaveSpeedImage and audio-driven video generation
Wan 2.6 is a video generation model published by Wan and served through the WaveSpeed provider on MindStudio. It accepts image and audio inputs alongside text prompts to produce video output, and supports configurable resolution, duration, and shot type selection. The model was released in December 2025 and is priced at $0.10–$0.15 per second of generated video.
Wan 2.6 is designed for workflows that require animating a source image with accompanying audio, making it suited for tasks like lip-sync video, scene animation, and multi-shot video production. Its shot type toggle lets users specify cinematic framing, and a seed input enables reproducible outputs. The 1000-token context window applies to the text prompt inputs used to guide generation.
What Wan 2.6 supports
Image-to-Video
Animates a source image into video using a provided image URL as the visual starting point for generation.
Audio-Driven Generation
Accepts an audio input to synchronize or influence the generated video, enabling use cases like lip-sync and audio-reactive animation.
Multi-Shot Control
Supports a shot type toggle that lets users specify different cinematic shot framings within a single generation request.
Resolution Selection
Offers selectable output resolution options so users can match video quality to their delivery requirements.
Duration Control
Allows users to select the length of the generated video clip, with pricing applied per second of output at $0.10–$0.15.
Negative Prompting
Accepts a negative prompt text input to suppress unwanted visual elements or styles from the generated video.
Reproducible Outputs
Includes a seed input that allows users to reproduce identical generation results by reusing the same seed value.
