Questions
Wan 2.6, answered
- What is Wan 2.6?
- Wan 2.6 is a video model from Alibaba. Open-weight video with a soundtrack, at 720p or 1080p. On Leap it runs in one studio beside every other top model, with one account.

- What resolution and sizes does it make?
- Up to 1080p, in 16:9 or 9:16.
- How is it different from Wan 3.0, Wan 3.0 Prime, Wan 2.7 Image to Video and Wan 2.7 Video Edit?
- Wan 2.6: Open-weight video with a soundtrack, at 720p or 1080p. Wan 3.0: Alibaba's newest video model, with sound, from text or a first frame. Wan 3.0 Prime: The fast Wan 3.0: polished clips with dialogue, music and effects in sync, for quick iteration. Wan 2.7 Image to Video: Wan 2.7 from a first frame to an optional last one, at 720p or 1080p. It makes its own sound to go with the clip. Wan 2.7 Video Edit: Edits or restyles a video of up to 10 seconds from a prompt, at 720p or 1080p. Billed by the length of the video. They all run in the same studio, so you can try one prompt on each.
- How much does a run cost?
- A 5-second 720p clip costs $0.675 at the default settings. By length and resolution, a run costs $0.675 to $2.00. You see the exact price before you press go, and a run that fails costs nothing.
- Is Wan 2.6 free to try?
- No. There is no free credit: you add credit from $5, and your first top-up has no card fee. The cheapest run is $0.675 (a 5-second 720p clip), so $5 covers seven of those. You pay per run, in dollars, with no subscription.
- Can I use what I make commercially?
- Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.
- Is there an API?
- Yes. Leap's REST API runs it as alibaba/wan-2.6, at the same price per run as the studio, and agents can call it through Leap's MCP server. The request is at the bottom of this page.
- Do I need an Alibaba account?
- No. Leap sends your request to Alibaba's model and gives you what it makes. One Leap account runs Wan 2.6 and every other model, in the studio, through the API and from your agents.
Your idea, Wan 2.6.
Every run shows its price before it starts, and one that fails costs nothing.
