Alibaba's Wan 2.7 series is a comprehensive open-weight AI suite for image generation/editing and video creation, featuring thinking mode reasoning, first/last frame control, up to 4K images and 1080p videos, native audio sync, and exceptional text rendering accuracy.

[Core Function] Wan 2.7 I2V is Alibaba's flagship multimodal image-to-video model. [Strengths] It supports multimodal input (text, image, audio, video) for first-frame, start-and-end-frame (FL2V), and video continuation tasks. [Best For] Highly recommended for: complex image animation, cinematic transitions, and video extension workflows. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if you only need a quick, simple animation where HappyHorse might be faster. [Routing] Use this model by default for complex image-to-video or video continuation tasks.

[Core Function] Wan 2.7 T2V is Alibaba's flagship text-to-video generation model. [Strengths] It generates high-fidelity video directly from text with support for custom aspect ratios, audio generation, and intricate semantic adherence. [Best For] Highly recommended for: high-quality commercial video generation, professional storytelling, and dynamic cinematic sequences. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if the user specifically requests the streamlined 'HappyHorse' workflow. [Routing] Use this model by default for high-end text-to-video requests on the Alibaba platform.

[Core Function] Wan 2.7 Video Editing is an instruction-based video modification model. [Strengths] It supports complex video editing tasks like content replacement using reference images, and replicating actions, effects, and camera movements. [Best For] Highly recommended for: modifying existing video footage, style transfer on videos, and targeted element replacement. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model to generate a brand new video from scratch; it requires an input video. [Routing] Use this model by default whenever a user wants to edit, alter, or restyle an existing video.

[Core Function] Wan 2.7 Reference-to-Video is a highly capable character/entity reference video model. [Strengths] It natively supports entity reference, voice customization, and playbook-based video generation from a single storyboard. [Best For] Highly recommended for: creating consistent video series, brand mascot animation, and storyboard-driven storytelling. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model for simple, single-image direct animation (use I2V instead). [Routing] Use this by default for complex character consistency and storyboard generation tasks on Alibaba.

[Core Function] Wan 2.7 Image Edit is a fast, reasoning-enhanced image editing model. [Strengths] Provides the robust editing capabilities of the Wan 2.7 architecture with faster turnaround times. [Best For] Highly recommended for: standard image modifications and style transfers. [Limitations] Do NOT use if you need absolute maximum fidelity or negative prompt support. [Routing] Use for standard, fast image editing tasks.

[Core Function] Wan 2.7 Image Pro Edit is Alibaba's flagship reasoning-enhanced image editing model. [Strengths] It supports interactive editing, character-consistent multi-image generation, and complex multi-reference modifications with deep reasoning. [Best For] Highly recommended for: professional image retouching, consistent character sheets, and complex structural edits. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if you specifically need to use negative prompts to exclude elements during editing (use Qwen Image 2.0 Pro Edit instead). [Routing] Use this by default for high-end image editing and multi-reference consistent character generation.

[Core Function] Wan 2.7 Image is a fast, reasoning-enhanced image generation model. [Strengths] It includes the chain-of-thought reasoning and text rendering of the Pro version, but is optimized for speed, supporting up to 2K resolution. [Best For] Highly recommended for: fast iterations, conceptual design, and generating accurate images with text at standard resolutions. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if you require 4K print-ready resolution. [Routing] Use this for standard, everyday high-quality image generation requests.

[Core Function] Wan 2.7 Image Pro is Alibaba's flagship reasoning-enhanced image generation model. [Strengths] It features built-in chain-of-thought reasoning (Thinking Mode), exceptional prompt accuracy, native 12-language text rendering, and generates ultra-high-resolution 4K images. [Best For] Highly recommended for: print-ready large-format posters, complex logical prompts, and generating images containing specific text/typography. [Limitations] Do NOT use this model if you need to generate batch images rapidly (use Wan 2.7 Image instead) or if you specifically need negative prompts (use Qwen Image 2.0 Pro). [Routing] Use this model by default for high-end, 4K, or text-heavy image generation tasks.
