Article Summaries:
- Alibaba has launched its Wan video‑generation models on the AI Gateway platform, enabling users to create stylized videos from text or reference media. The beta models-such as alibaba/wan‑v2.6‑t2v for text‑to‑video and alibaba/wan‑v2.6‑r2v‑flash for reference‑to‑video-support resolutions up to 1080p and offer faster “flash” variants for quick iterations. Developers can call the models via AI SDK 6’s experimental_generateVideo API, while non‑coding users can experiment in the AI Gateway playground. Video generation is currently limited to Pro, Enterprise, and paid AI Gateway subscribers. Documentation and quick‑start scripts are available for further configuration.
