Wan 2.5 Preview
A first look at what Wan is exploring next — experimental capabilities before they graduate into a stable release.
What is Wan 2.5 Preview?
Wan 2.5 Preview is exactly what the name says: a pre-release build that exposes Alibaba's in-progress capabilities to working creators. Expect features and behaviors that are not yet finalized — sometimes that means new modes and improved reasoning about scenes, and sometimes it means quirks that a stable release would have smoothed out.
Treat it as a lab bench. It is a good place to test whether an upcoming capability solves one of your production problems before committing a pipeline to it, and a good place to learn prompt patterns that will carry into the final release. Keep Wan 2.6 or 2.7 as your dependable baseline for client work.

Prompt Examples
Copy any of these straight into the workspace.
A paper crane unfolds itself into a origami dragon on a desk, camera circling slowly, each fold physically motivated. Test how the preview handles sequential transformation.

Wan 2.5 Preview FAQ
What does "preview" mean for quality and reliability?
The model is still in development: capabilities can change, and behavior may vary between runs. Use it for exploration rather than deadline-critical deliverables.
Will my prompts transfer to the stable release?
Mostly, yes — prompt patterns you develop on 2.5 Preview generally carry into the stable generation, which is one of the reasons to experiment early.
Is it cheaper because it is a preview?
Generation costs credits that vary by model, resolution and duration. DreamDance plans start at $19.99/month with 1,999 credits — see the pricing page for details.
Which Wan should I use for client work?
Wan 2.6 for cost-sensitive routine work, Wan 2.7 when you want the newest stable capabilities. Keep the preview for experiments.
