Wan 2.2 is the latest release from Alibaba’s Wan team. It builds on its predecessor with expanded capabilities and a fully open-source license. The model supports three generation modes: T2V, I2V, and TI2V. It comes in two architecture sizes. A dual-noise expert MoE system boosts cinematic visual quality, improves complex motion, and enhances semantic control. The TI2V-5B model runs efficiently on just 8 GB of VRAM. The 14B variants require more resources but offer deeper generation fidelity and can operate with offload support.

Accessibility is a central feature of this release. Wan 2.2 is available from day one via ComfyUI and Hugging Face Diffusers. It can generate 720p video at 24 frames per second from either text, images, or a combination of both. MacBook Pro users with an M4 Max and 128 GB unified memory can run the models locally. This eliminates the need for offloading or memory workarounds and enables high-fidelity generation directly from a laptop.

The open-source release under Apache 2.0 marks a strategic shift. Wan 2.2 now ranks among the most permissively licensed, high-quality video generation models available for local use. This invites integration into enterprise-grade pipelines, creative software, and no-code development stacks. It also avoids the high VRAM constraints typical of similar models.

Wan 2.2 sets a new local benchmark for AI-powered video creation. Its combination of input flexibility, runtime efficiency, and open licensing positions it as a leading tool for both indie creators and advanced AI production workflows.
