Short answer: No, Wan 3.0 has not been released. As of June 2026, Alibaba's Tongyi Lab has made no official Wan 3.0 announcement and has not published a Wan 3.0 release date. The newest officially released models in the series are Wan 2.2 (July 2025), the Wan 2.6 series, and Wan 2.7 (April 2026).
This page tracks what is actually known versus what is speculation — and what you can run while you wait. We update it whenever Alibaba publishes something concrete.
Is Wan 3.0 out yet?
No. There is no Wan 3.0 model, no public weights on Hugging Face, and no API for it. If a site claims to offer "Wan 3.0" today, it is running an earlier Wan model — or a different model entirely — under that name.
We think it is worth being direct about this because the gap between hype and reality around unreleased AI models is wide. wan3pro.video runs the latest publicly available open-source Wan model, and is built to serve Wan 3.0 the day Alibaba releases it. We would rather tell you that plainly than imply a model exists when it does not.
The Wan version timeline (what's actually shipped)
The clearest way to reason about a Wan 3.0 release date is to look at the cadence of confirmed releases:
| Version | Released | What it added |
|---|---|---|
| Wan 2.1 | February 2025 | First widely-adopted open-source release; text-to-video and image-to-video; millions of downloads on Hugging Face and ModelScope |
| Wan 2.2 | July 28, 2025 | First MoE (Mixture-of-Experts) architecture in an open video model — 27B total parameters, 14B active per pass; up to 1080p |
| Wan 2.6 series | 2025–2026 | Expanded the lineup with additional control and generation modes (per Alibaba Cloud) |
| Wan 2.7 | April 2026 | Latest released version — first-frame control, longer clips |
| Wan 3.0 | Not announced | — |
Across roughly 15 months, Alibaba shipped several meaningful updates — a steady "every few months" rhythm. That pattern is the only real basis for estimating when a 3.0 might arrive.
When is the Wan 3.0 release date?
There is no confirmed date. Treat every specific "Wan 3.0 launches on [date]" claim you see elsewhere as speculation unless it links to an official Alibaba Cloud or Tongyi Lab source.
Reasoning purely from the release cadence above, a major version jump to Wan 3.0 would most plausibly land in the second half of 2026. That is an estimate based on patterns, not insider knowledge. Two things make the timing genuinely uncertain:
- Major versions take longer than point releases. The jump from 2.x to 3.0 implies an architecture or capability leap, which historically takes more time than incremental 2.x updates.
- Alibaba has not signaled a timeline. Unlike some labs that pre-announce, the Wan series has tended to ship first and announce on release day.
What to expect from Wan 3.0 (expectations, not facts)
Because Wan 3.0 is unreleased, everything in this section is an expectation derived from the series trajectory — not a confirmed specification. When Alibaba publishes real numbers, we will replace these with sourced facts.
- Resolution: likely a push toward 4K native (current released models top out around 1080p).
- Duration: likely longer maximum clips than the current ~15-second ceiling.
- Architecture: likely an evolution of the MoE design introduced in Wan 2.2 (27B total / 14B active).
- Audio: likely stronger in-pass synchronized audio generation.
- Multi-shot consistency: likely improved character/identity consistency across cuts.
Again — none of this is confirmed. Anyone presenting Wan 3.0 specs as established fact today is guessing.
Will Wan 3.0 be open source?
Probably, based on precedent. Every prior model — Wan 2.1, 2.2, and the later point releases — shipped under Apache 2.0 with open weights on Hugging Face and GitHub under the Wan-AI organization. That is one of the strongest reasons the Wan series matters: unlike Sora, Veo, or Runway, you can inspect, fine-tune, and self-host the weights. There is no guarantee 3.0 keeps this licensing, but the track record makes it the most likely outcome.
What you can do right now
You cannot run the Wan 3.0 model yet — it does not exist. But you do not have to wait to start working:
- Generate today with the latest available Wan model in your browser on the AI Video Generator — text-to-video and image-to-video, no GPU required.
- Validate cheaply with the Mini Pack ($15 one-time, 300 credits, no subscription) before committing — see Pricing.
- Be ready for day one. wan3pro.video is built to switch to Wan 3.0 as soon as Alibaba releases it, so your prompts and workflow carry over without changes.
How we keep this page current
This is a living reference. When Alibaba's Tongyi Lab or Alibaba Cloud publishes an official Wan 3.0 announcement — a release date, weights, an API, or specifications — we update this page with the sourced facts and revise the timeline above. The "Updated" date in the title reflects the last review.
