Alibaba has opened beta testing for Wan3.0, an artificial intelligence model capable of generating videos up to 30 seconds long from inputs that include text, images, video, audio, webpages, PDFs, and PowerPoint presentations. Alibaba said the longer duration is intended to accommodate continuous shots, more complex camera movements, and extended narratives. “Mainstream AI video generators typically produce clips lasting only a few seconds to 15 seconds, which is the maximum clip duration of Wan2.7-Video, the preceding Wan video generation model,” Alibaba said. The model can process several types of reference material simultaneously, allowing users to convert text-heavy documents and webpages into video content. Users may apply to test the beta version through Alibaba Cloud’s Model Studio and Qwen Cloud platforms.
