Open weights for Wan 3.0: which version actually has them
The register records no published weights for Wan 3.0. Wan 2.1 and 2.2 are published by the vendor's own organisations under Apache 2.0, and 3.0 is the version the hosted service here sells, described on its price list as a model served through an API. Files for a version and seconds of that version are two different products. As of 2026-10-13.
1What this register already holds
Everything this register holds for the family: the two published versions and their licence, the model the repository states a consumer card can run, the figure other commands ask for, and the two hosted services' own lines.

2The version the search names is not the version with files
The register's entry for Wan 3.0 is short: no weights published. The line beside it records what the vendor's own organisations do publish — 2.1 and 2.2 — which is the whole of the open side of this family. A reader searching for open weights under the 3.0 number is looking at a generation whose files do not exist in the register, and the honest answer is that the number and the release have come apart.
That is not a scandal; it is the ordinary shape of a family in which a later generation is sold as a service first. The same pattern sits in the neighbouring family: LTX-Video is published under Apache 2.0 while the version LTX Studio bills is LTX-2.5, a different release. Two families, the same trap, one row apart in the register's own table.
3What the published versions do carry
Wan 2.1 and 2.2 are Apache 2.0. The repository's smallest published model is a 5B text-to-video and image-to-video model at 720P and 24fps, and it is the one the same repository states runs on consumer-grade cards such as a 4090, generating a 5-second 720P clip in under nine minutes on a single card. Other commands in that repository state a requirement of at least 80GB of VRAM.
Two figures, one repository, and the difference between them is the configuration rather than the family. This register keeps both and attaches each to the model it was written for; collapsing them into one 'Wan needs 80GB' is the kind of summary that sends a reader shopping for the wrong card.
4What the service selling 3.0 actually states
The version does have a public description, just not a file. The pipeline this register follows sells Wan 3.0 seconds at published per-second rates from about $0.06 at 480P, and names the family on the same price list. Its own documentation describes Wan 3.0 as a model reached through an asynchronous submit-then-poll API — a service shape, not a download.
So the two halves of this page answer two different searches. A reader who wants to run the model and own the output has the 2.x files; a reader who wants the newest generation has a rate per second and a queue. The register refuses to present either as the other, because the price of a second says nothing about the cost of a card.
5Where a platform's own page fits
The services in this column are read the same way as the repositories: what does the page state, and what does it leave open. Krea lists a commercial licence on its plans and trains LoRAs from 50 images, which answers the commercial-use question for its own units and says nothing about any model's weights. Those are two separate statements about two separate things, and a reader needs both.
The table below sets the published version against the sold one, question by question. It is the shortest summary of this family the register can honestly produce, and its empty cells are as much a part of it as the filled ones.
6What each one's own pages state
| Service | What its own pages state | Read on |
|---|---|---|
| Krea | Commercial licence listed on its plans | 2026-10-13 |
| SceneMixer | “Wan 3.0 is Alibaba Cloud's video generation model on the Model Studio platform, called through an asynchronous submit-then-poll API, in two tiers: the standard wan3.0-video and the faster wan3.0-video-prime.” | 2026-10-13 |
Inclusion rule. Rows are the services this page reads plus one pipeline this register follows. A cell carries the service's own wording for the question on this page; a page that does not address the question is written that way rather than read as a denial. Order. Alphabetical by service name.
| Asked of the two versions | Wan 2.1 and 2.2, published | Wan 3.0, sold by the service |
|---|---|---|
| Weights | Published by the vendor's own organisations | No weights published |
| Licence | Apache 2.0, stated in the repository | None: there is no file to licence |
| Hardware | The 5B model on a consumer card; other commands state at least 80GB | No figure stated: the service runs it |
| How it is obtained | From the vendor's own GitHub and Hugging Face organisations | Through an API, at a published rate per second |
Inclusion rule. Cells are the statements the register holds for each version, each attached to the page it was read from. A question a version does not answer is written as unanswered rather than inferred from the other version. Order. As the questions are listed above.
7What the material counted
Two lines from the material collected for this column: the counts for the family whose release this page is about, and the pairing the threads keep coming back to.
| Name | Posts | Comment mentions | Positive | Negative |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hailuo and MiniMax | 1564 | 459 | 141 | 24 |
Inclusion rule. Names the collection counted and that this page is about. The two tallies come from the same posts, and a post arguing with itself can land in both. Order. Descending by posts.
| Name | Against | Times | The argument in one line |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedance | Wan | 78 | open weights against a closed commercial API; the winner changes with the prompt |
Inclusion rule. Pairs carried in the collection that name a family on this page. Order. Descending by the count.
8When the other answer is the better one
- The newest generation is the requirement — The service sells the 3.0 seconds it names on its price list, which is the only route to that version in this register.
- A file under a standard licence is the requirement — Wan 2.1 and 2.2 are Apache 2.0 as the repository writes it, and the vendor's own organisations are where the files sit.
- Nothing has to be bought before it works — A rate per second is payable as it is spent; a file is a card, a driver setup and a night of benchmarking before the first clip exists.
