Everything About Wan 3.0 Prime

Wan 3.0 is Alibaba’s closed video generation model, launched in August 2026. Wan 3.0 Prime is a separate tier that most platforms describe as faster, with the same core features.

The same model family, built for moments when speed matters.

• Clips from 2 to 30 seconds long
• Output at 480p, 720p, and 1080p
• Optional audio
• Text-to-video and image-to-video
• First-frame and last-frame control
• Reference images that keep characters and products consistent

Platforms list different reference limits, from 10 to 20, so check your platform.

Some platforms say Prime runs up to seven times faster than standard Wan 3.0. Others promise no fixed speed gain. Test it on your own platform.

On most API platforms, Prime costs more per second. For example, in mid-October 2026, Higgsfield’s API pricing page listed Wan 3.0 from $0.050 per second and Wan 3.0 Prime from $0.068 per second at list price, with discounts running at the time. Prices vary widely by platform, so check before you generate.
