If you want to play with this, as in really play, with over a dozen variant models with acceleration loras and a vibrant community, ya gotta check out: https://github.com/deepbeepmeep/Wan2GP And the discord community: https://discord.gg/g7efUW9jGV "Wan2GP" is AI video and images "for the GPU poor", get all this operating with as little as 6GB VRAM, Nvidia only.

If having only 6GB VRAM is GPU poor then I must be GPU destitute.

It's hard to get an nvidia consumer having then less than 12GB of VRAM, not just these days.

By GPU poor they didn't mean GPUless or GPU of the previous decade. It's on the readme that only Nvidia is supported.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I wish they'd state suggested or required hardware upfront.

Also disappointing that I haven't seen anything target the new Ryzen AI chips that can do 96gb since they seem pretty capable. I'm not sure how much memory m4 pro on the apple side can be utilized for this but it seems like the typical machines are 48 or 64gb these days. Lot more bang for your buck than an Nvidia card on paper?

Are there video generation benchmarks similar to how there are benchmarks for LLMs? Reason I ask is because with lots of these models you have to go through a long cycle to get them up and running before you see an output, and often they will break with basic tasks requiring physics, state, etc. Would love to see some comparison of models across basic things like that.

Wan2.1 was great, but Wan2.2 is really awesome! Here's some samples I made locally with my 5090:

Those were both Image to Video and then I upscaled them to 4k. I made the images using Flux Dev Krea.

Took about 3-4 minutes per video to generate and another 2-3 to upscale. Images took 20-40s to generate.
