Wan 3.0 vs Wan 2.7
Wan is Alibaba's Tongyi Lab video family. It built its name on open weights, but nothing after Wan 2.2 has been published: 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 and 3.0 are hosted only. Wan 3.0, in public beta since August 2026, doubles the clip ceiling to 30 seconds at the same per-second price as 2.7. Both pages below run the same nine clips as every other model here.
