Overview
Wan 2.2 A14B is Alibaba's open-weight mixture-of-experts video family (Apache 2.0). MachGen presents its text-to-video and image-to-video checkpoints as one model: a written prompt creates a new scene, while an attached first frame routes the request to image-to-video.
Both modes create silent five-second 16:9 clips at 480p or 720p with seed control. MachGen serves the checkpoints on managed inference; latency and throughput depend on the selected settings and service load.
Model guideWhy choose Wan 2.2 A14B
Key strengths
- Open-weight video generation with a mixture-of-experts design focused on cinematic aesthetics and complex motion.
- A unified catalog entry for text-to-video and image-to-video, with the input determining the generation route.
- Seed control makes prompt and composition experiments easier to compare.
Good fit for
- Cinematic concept shots and visual development.
- Animating a still while preserving its main composition.
- Repeatable prompt studies and automated content pipelines.

WorkflowUsing Wan 2.2 A14B
- Choose a supported generation mode in Playground.
- Add the required prompt and source or reference assets.
- Select output settings from the controls shown for that mode.
- Generate, then inspect the returned asset before reusing the settings through the API.
Practical guidance
- Describe the subject, action or composition, environment, and visual direction in a clear order.
- For image animation, describe the intended motion and camera behavior instead of repeating what is already visible.
Architecture
- Two-expert MoE diffusion. A high-noise expert sketches layout early; a low-noise expert refines detail. About 27B parameters total with ~14B active per step, so cost stays near a dense 14B model.
- SNR-based expert switching. The handoff follows signal-to-noise ratio during denoising.
- Stronger training data than Wan 2.1, with lower validation loss than the non-MoE baseline.
Best resultsHow to get better Wan 2.2 A14B results
- Keep a five-second shot focused on one primary action and one camera move.
- For image-to-video, describe what should move and how the camera should behave instead of restating the image.
- Use lighting, lens, composition, and color language when a specific cinematic treatment matters.
- Lock the seed while changing one prompt variable at a time, then release it when exploring broader variations.
LimitsLimits and availability
- MachGen admits only the modes and settings listed above for this catalog model.
- Source assets must finish uploading before a request can be submitted.
- Generated results can vary between requests, including when the same prompt and settings are reused.
- Wan 2.2 A14B runs on MachGen-managed inference infrastructure rather than being forwarded to a provider API.
