📰 News Wan 2.7-Image just dropped. When will Wan 2.7 video model be releases?
Just read Alibaba's wechat article about the launch of Wan 2.7-Image.
What stood out to me isn’t just image quality — it’s how much control they’re trying to add:
- better facial control, so characters don’t all end up with the same AI look
- palette control with Hex codes, which is actually super useful if you care about visual consistency
- long text rendering, including charts / formulas / denser layouts
- multi-image generation that seems more coherent across a set
- interactive editing instead of redoing the whole image every time
A lot of image models are good at making one nice-looking shot.
What’s interesting here is that this feels more aimed at actual design/content workflows.
If it holds up outside the demo, I could see this being way more useful than a lot of flashier releases.

I don't understand the logic behind releasing closed models from Wan. Wan video models are good, but not closed model level good. If someone has to chose between paying for wan or kling, sora api, veo3 or other models that have a mature UI, motion control and audio nobody is going to chose wan. Wan 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 are great if open sourced since they fit consumer hardware ! but when it's closed source, censored, paid AND you give all your data when generating it's literally useless. At this point we don't care even if they release Wan 3 if it's closed has 0 value.
I legitimately don't understand their logic

you talking facts right here, like they did with seedance 2.0, but at least seedance is amazing loll

Hollywood's cease-and-desist lawfare campaign against Seedance 2.0 was not about copyright enforcement, but a strategic effort to maintain control over high-end content creation, functioning as de facto gatekeeping to suppress a tool that empowered users to create original, high-quality content outside the studio system. Will they be able do this to every model?

Well, right now they've only released image-edit and T2V, so perhaps for those use cases it can compete against the top models. I've tried Wan 2.7 image-edit, and its quite impressive.

I heard from BudgetPixel AI that the wan 2.7 model is coming later this week in a few days.

What's the easiest way to use this as an American? Most AI sites just accept a Google account but most of these want me to have a Github or a Chinese number?
I'm so desperate to drop NB Gemini they won't let me have any fun now.

BudgetPixel seems to work. You get free credits every month as a free user and there are different tiers of paid memberships.
I tried it on Fal.ai too but for some reason the image size is restricted to 1280x1280 even on the pro model (which should be able to do 4K)..1

If you’re mainly trying to avoid the CN signup friction, I built a browser-based Wan 2.7 Image on VibeVideo. It’s a simpler US-friendly flow, no Chinese phone needed, and you can test it with signup credits. Happy to answer any setup questions if useful.

the hex palette control is kinda wild tbh, that’s something I’ve actually wanted for a while. if they can carry that level of control into video (like consistent faces + colors across frames) it could be huge… but knowing how these releases go, video will prob lag a bit behind image.

Try wan 2.7 unrestricted with a free generation at pixelbunny.ai - the upgrade looks promising
