Wan 2.6Alibaba / Tongyi Lab
China's first open-source reference-to-video model. Upload a character reference video with your appearance and voice, then generate new scenes starring yourself. This opened up open-source character consistency with audio sync. Anyone can now create long-form narratives with consistent characters using free, locally-run models. The combination of visual and vocal consistency opens the door to serialized AI content without subscription costs.
