Wan2.1-T2V-14B

Wan2.1-T2V-14B

Generates video from a text prompt at 480P or 720P with the 14B Wan2.1 model, and can put Chinese and English text into the picture. For creators and researchers with strong GPU hardware.

About

What it is: This is the 14B text-to-video model of the Wan2.1 family of open video models, with about 14.3B parameters. You give it a prompt and it generates a video at 480P or 720P. The card says it can also render Chinese and English text inside the video.

Who it suits: It suits creators and researchers who want an open text-to-video model and have hardware for a model of this size.

Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example
Video production | Filmmakers and video creators | Generate scenes from written descriptions | A short establishing shot for a project pitch
Marketing | Content teams | Make motion visuals, including ones with on-screen text | A short clip with a Chinese or English caption in the picture
Research | Video model researchers | Use an open 14B model as a baseline | Comparing its outputs with another open model
Games and design | Concept artists | Explore motion ideas from text | Testing how an idea looks in motion

You can skip it if you have a small graphics card, since the 1.3B sibling in the same family is built for consumer GPUs.

Where to use it:

• Python on Windows, macOS or Linux, which the download steps need
• The Wan2.1 project code, which the card lists with multi-GPU inference and a Gradio demo
• Multi-GPU machines, which the card names for the 14B models
• Diffusers and ComfyUI, which the card's to-do list shows as not yet ticked

Use case | Who | What they get back
Generate a 480P or 720P clip | Creators | A video made from a text prompt
Put text in a video | Marketers | Chinese or English text rendered in the picture
Run across several GPUs | Teams with big hardware | Inference spread over multiple GPUs

How to set it up:

• Python on your computer
• PyTorch 2.4.0 or newer, which the card says to ensure
• A strong GPU setup, because the card gives no VRAM figure for this 14B model
• Disk space for about 57.2 GB of full-precision weights

1. Install the Hugging Face hub package with pip.
2. Download the model files to your computer.
3. Get the Wan2.1 project code and install its requirements.

pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download Wan-AI/Wan2.1-T2V-14B

The card's own dependency step reads like this.

# Ensure torch >= 2.4.0
pip install -r requirements.txt

How to use it: You give the model a text prompt and choose 480P or 720P. The card points to the project's inference code for running it, with a Gradio demo as another route.

Example: A person writes a prompt describing a scene and asks for a 720P result. What comes back is a video clip made from that text. The card gives no sample prompts, run times or clip lengths for this model.

For newcomers and experts: If you are new to this, read the download section on the card first, since the files are large. If your card is modest, try the 1.3B sibling before this one.

If you know the field, the card says the family uses a Wan-VAE that encodes and decodes 1080P video of any length with time information kept. It claims state of the art results against open and closed models, with no score table in the part given here.

Download the model files
Install the project requirements
Write a text prompt
Pick 480P or 720P
The model generates the video

Good to know:

• Limits: the card gives no VRAM figure, run time or clip length for this model.
• Integrations: the card's to-do list does not tick the diffusers or ComfyUI items.
• Claims: the quality statements come from the authors.
• License: Apache 2.0.
• Cost to run: none named.
• Data it reaches: it copies large model files to your computer and reads only the prompts you give it.
