What is WAN 3?
WAN 3.0 is the current generation of Alibaba's WAN family, released in August 2026. It generates audio in the same pass as the picture, so dialogue, music and effects arrive already in sync, and it renders natively at up to 1080p. Three resolution tiers (480p, 720p, 1080p) and an adaptive aspect mode that lets the model choose framing from the prompt. Billing is per second of output, at the model's cost plus a flat 20% platform fee, shown before you spend. Upstream, WAN 3 accepts up to 30 seconds in a single generation. On FairStack it is currently capped at 16 seconds, which is the platform-wide ceiling for every video model — so the longest-form capability is not yet exposed here. Available at infrastructure cost plus a 20% platform fee.
