What is Wan 3.0?
Wan 3.0 (wan3.0-video) is Alibaba’s current video model, released on Alibaba Cloud Model Studio on 6 August 2026. Alibaba describes it as an all-in-one model for reference, editing, replication and driving, with four-modal reference input, realistic audio and clips of up to 30 seconds. On fal it takes up to five reference videos and five audio clips alongside images, and outputs 480p, 720p or 1080p video with generated audio switched on by default. The Wan-AI organisation on Hugging Face has published no Wan 3.0 weights.
Model Studio’s international (Singapore) deployment lists Wan 3.0 at $0.05 per second at 480p, $0.10 at 720p and $0.20 at 1080p, and its price page still shows a limited-time 30% discount on those list prices. Input video seconds are billed along with output seconds, failed requests are free, and Singapore includes a 30-second free quota valid for 90 days. In the Global deployment, offered in regions such as US (Virginia), the list prices are lower: about $0.041, $0.083 and $0.165 per second. fal charges the international list prices, so a 5-second 720p clip costs $0.50 and a 30-second 1080p clip $6.00. The faster wan3.0-video-prime costs $0.068, $0.14 and $0.28 per second.
Wan 3.0 succeeds Wan 2.5, which stops at 10 seconds and costs $0.15 per second at 1080p; at 480p and 720p the two cost the same. Kling 4.0, which also reaches 30 seconds, costs $0.157 per second at 720p on fal. Compare more models in our AI video cost index and AI video generation pricing guide.
