Wan 2.2

Alibaba's open video model family from the Wan team, under Apache 2.0. The 5B TI2V model makes 720p, 24fps video from text or an image on a single 24 GB graphics card; the larger A14B Mixture-of-Experts models handle text-to-video and image-to-video at higher quality.

Runs locally
Yes

What you need to run it

Mac
Yes, but slow. Any Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer) with at least 32 GB (64 GB recommended) of memory. It runs, but much slower than on an NVIDIA card.
Windows / Linux PC
NVIDIA works best. A graphics card with at least 24 GB (80 GB recommended) of video memory.
No graphics card
Not practical. Too slow without a graphics card or Apple Silicon.

The 5B model needs a 24 GB card on a PC and runs on a Mac only slowly (ComfyUI or Draw Things), so allow 32 GB or more.

Numbers are for: TI2V-5B for the minimum; the 14B models for recommended. Based on the maker’s own figures; where the maker gives only a graphics-card figure, the Mac memory is our estimate.

Strengths

  • Apache 2.0 — no revenue cap or branding rules for commercial use
  • TI2V-5B runs on a 24 GB graphics card such as an RTX 4090, at 720p and 24fps
  • One 5B model does both text-to-video and image-to-video
  • Wide tooling: ComfyUI and Hugging Face Diffusers support from launch day
  • Family also covers speech-to-video (S2V-14B) and character animation (Animate-14B)

Weaknesses

  • The A14B and 14B models need a data-centre GPU with at least 80 GB of VRAM for the standard commands
  • Text- and image-to-video output is silent — unlike newer open models such as LTX-2.5, it does not generate a soundtrack
  • 720p ceiling; no 4K path

Change log

  • — Added hardware requirements (Mac support, memory, NVIDIA). Source: the Wan2.2 README (5B model on 24 GB, 14B models on 80 GB); Mac memory is estimated.
  • — Initial entry. Released 2025-07-28 per the GitHub README news, under Apache 2.0. Added 2026-10-28 from the popularity sweep: 18.2k GitHub stars, and the Comfy-Org ComfyUI repack had 8.5M Hugging Face downloads in the last month — the most-downloaded image-to-video repo on Hugging Face. Still the newest open Wan line — no later Wan version has open weights under Wan-AI on Hugging Face; the most recent upload is Wan2.2-Animate-2-14B (2026-07).
