Choose Wan 3.0 for multimodal production
Use it for 16–30 second scenes, document-led explainers, mixed image/video/audio references, smart duration, or one unified request builder.

Wan 3.0 vs Wan 2.7
Choose by workflow, not version number. Wan 3.0 unifies more media and reaches 30 seconds; Wan 2.7 remains a focused, established option for shorter model-specific jobs.

Official capability comparison
The table separates persistent product differences from temporary launch pricing.
| Capability | Wan 3.0 | Wan 2.7 |
|---|---|---|
| API model structure | One All-in-One Standard or Prime model | Separate task-specific model IDs |
| Maximum output | 2–30 seconds | 2–15 seconds |
| Accepted input types | Text, image, video, audio, file, link | Text, image, video, audio |
| Document or web input | Yes · one source per request | No |
| Resolution | 480P, 720P, 1080P | 720P, 1080P |
| Prompt length | 20,000 characters · Chinese or English | 5,000 characters for T2V |
| Duration control | Integer 2–30 or smart −1 | Fixed duration within task limit |
| Native audio | Yes · enabled by default | Yes |
| Video editing | Edit and extend through prompt intent | Supported through dedicated task flows |
A practical decision rule
The newer model is broader, but the best migration point depends on what the current pipeline cannot do.
Keep Wan 2.7 for a stable narrow path
A working 2–15 second T2V or I2V integration may not need immediate migration when its output and cost already fit.
Benchmark the actual content
Run the same approved prompt, seed policy, duration, resolution, and review rubric before moving production traffic.
Wan 2.7 to Wan 3.0 migration checklist
Wan 3.0 is not just a model-name replacement; media objects, duration, billing, and async operations need review.
Replace task-specific model selection with wan3.0-video or wan3.0-video-prime and confirm the regional workspace endpoint.
Map files to input.media with explicit media types; do not combine file/link references with first or last frames.
Update validation to 2–30 seconds and enforce input-video duration plus output duration at no more than 30 seconds.
Poll the asynchronous task endpoint and persist the result before the 24-hour task and URL window expires.
Recalculate budget because Wan 3.0 bills successful input-video and output-video seconds at the selected resolution rate.
