Wan2.5 Preview multimodal model

Name: Wan
Version: 2.5
Variant: Preview
Creator: Alibaba

Wan2.5 Preview, a major upgrade to Alibaba Group’s visual generative models, drops end of September 2025.

Wan2.5-Preview is now out. It's said to reshape visual generation with a new setup and stronger features.

It runs on a native multimodal design that works across text, images, video and audio. It can generate videos with synced audio covering vocals, sound effects and background music. It can follow directions more clearly to produce photorealistic results, varied art styles, imaginative text effects and pro-level charts.

What sets this video model apart is the built in audio. Wan begins to rival Veo 3 with this release. It also allows a user to upload an audio file. You get in sync sound and visuals. It has clear voices, ASMR, sounds from the room, music, and it works with many languages. You can also make a video from the audio.

Here's what else this model offers:

Richer video movement. It makes 10-second videos that look movie-like. They have more temporal-spatial detail, full storytelling, and stable performance. They are 1080P and 24fps.

Exact text in images. Bring your visuals to life with amazing looks and real textures, exact text, and organized graphics.

Instruction-based changes. It's a dialogue-driven editing model for flexible single-image or multi-image changes and making new things.

Visual reasoning power. You get better natural language understanding and instruction following. It makes images or videos from prompts and images with complex reasoning.

Wan is quite good with this, producing distinctly realistic outputs. Backpack handling - same as most - hit and miss. Generated on November 6, 2025

Wan is struggling with this one. Even when it does the beginning right, there are 2 extra slides. Tried 'putting/placing' slides on variation, tried adding 'Final shot is the woman wearing the slides smiling, the floor around her is clean having no other objects' - simply makes extra footware disappear in the end but doesnt prevent it appearing.

Wan ignores timestamps. Does all the moves requested in prompt, except cats swirls quickly more than once. And video ends with them turning their backs to the camera. Dropped the camera motion for this prompt. With it, the dancers get out of sync with each other - only happens when prompts call for dancers turning around in sync, no issue if they keep facing same direction while dancing.

Wan2.5 doesn't really do jump cuts? Judging form 3 different prompts and ~7 generations. The character will turn around and run a different direction if a prompt calls to see them from another angle. Generated on October 10, 2025
