The value of building an open source ecosystem
Wan's strategic decision to open source its core model, Wan 2.2, is significant. As one of the few open source video generation base models available, it lowers the technical threshold of the industry, eliminating the need for developers to build a video generation system from scratch. The pre-training weights and complete documentation provided by the model support secondary development, which is especially valuable in the following scenarios:
- Academic research: comparative validation as a baseline model for use in new algorithms
- Commercial applications: companies can develop customized video marketing tools based on source code
- Technical Innovation: Community Collaboration Accelerates Iterative Evolution of Video Generation Technology
The open-source model also brings increased model transparency, which is particularly important in fields such as healthcare and education where the reliability of generated content is required.
