๐ฆ Wan 2.7
Alibaba Tongyi Lab's open-weight video suite, the control-freak's and self-hoster's choice. T2V, I2V, R2V, and instruction-based editing share one 27B Mixture-of-Experts backbone, with first/last-frame control, multi-reference inputs, and native audio. Because the weights are open, the Wan family is the basis for uncensored community workflows.
The lineup
| Model | Job |
|---|---|
Wan2.7-t2v | Text-to-video with "Thinking Mode" prompt planning. |
Wan2.7-i2v | Image-to-video; first-frame, first+last-frame, audio-driven. |
Wan2.7-r2v | Reference-to-video: up to 5 real-person image inputs + vocal-timbre reference, multi-character. |
Wan2.7-videoedit | Instruction-based editing & style transfer on existing clips. |
Specs at a glance
Open weights = total control
The video, image, I2V, image-edit, and video-edit checkpoints are downloadable (HuggingFace Wan-AI, ModelScope) and run in ComfyUI. Inference code is on GitHub; training code/data are not released.
| GPU | T2V / I2V |
|---|---|
| RTX 4090 (24GB) | Yes, ~3โ5 min/clip |
| RTX 5090 (32GB) | Yes, faster (~2โ4 min) |
| RTX 4070 (12GB) | GGUF quant only |
| A100 (80GB) | Yes, fast |
Per Alibaba's pattern, open weights for a .7 release land 4โ8 weeks after cloud launch. Until then, use cloud APIs (DashScope, WaveSpeed, Together, fal). For a no-hardware uncensored route today, Venice hosts a filter-free build as Wan 2.7 Uncensored (below).
Wan 2.7 Uncensored
Base Wan ships with safety filters. The open weights let those filters come off. Two practical routes:
1. Wan 2.7 Uncensored (hosted on Venice)
Venice hosts a filter-free build as Wan 2.7 Uncensored. It's tuned for anatomical accuracy, skin texture and lighting, and natural intimate motion. No GPU, no setup, no LoRA wrangling. Use it through your Venice API key like any other model.
2. Local ComfyUI + NSFW LoRAs
Run Wan open weights locally and stack community NSFW LoRAs (e.g. all-in-one "rapid" merges with an optional unlocker LoRA, disabled by default). This gives maximum privacy and control. Nothing leaves your machine. The cost is setup and a capable GPU.
For most people the hosted Wan 2.7 Uncensored on Venice is the fastest path. Self-host only when full privacy or custom LoRAs matter.
What Wan 2.7 is best for
Optimal prompt pattern
Same director formula as the rest. Wan adds Thinking Mode (chain-of-thought planning of composition, placement, lighting before generation). Give it spatial detail to chew on, and it returns coherent multi-object scenes. Negative prompts are supported.
For mature content via Wan 2.7 Uncensored or local LoRAs, the tasteful technique that improves realism (soft directional lighting, slow deliberate motion, anatomy-aware phrasing, high-quality reference images) is covered in the NSFW best practices guide.
Content & licensing
- License: Apache 2.0. Commercial use permitted for the open weights.
- Filters: present in the base model; removed in Venice's Wan 2.7 Uncensored build and in self-hosted configurations.
- Responsibility: open weights mean no platform safety net. The consent rules are on you, and just as binding.
