Wan 2.6 hits fal, Replicate with 1080p 15s video – global creator streams Dec 17

Wan 2.6 quietly crossed a real threshold this week: it’s now a normal API on fal and Replicate instead of a China‑only curiosity. Both hosts expose 1080p, up‑to‑15s multi‑shot video at 24fps with text‑to‑video, image‑to‑video, reference‑to‑video, and native audio import. In practice, that means you can drop Wan into the same stacks you’ve been wiring around Runway or Kling—prototype storyboards, explainer beats, or ad spots on a metered endpoint instead of negotiating with Alibaba or running your own GPUs.

Alibaba clearly knows this is the moment to court working filmmakers, not only researchers. On December 17 they’re running a full day of Wan 2.6 livestreams across China, Korea, Japan, the EU, and the US, plus rolling out the Wan Muse+ Phase 3 creator program with priority access and co‑marketing. Tool partners like fal and Replicate are on those sessions, so expect concrete pipeline recipes rather than vague sizzle.

Meanwhile, Glif builders are already treating Wan as one block in an agentic chain: Wan 2.2 Animate supplies motion, a contact‑sheet agent spins a six‑frame grid of alternate angles, and other video models handle transitions. Think of it as coverage in a box while the agents babysit style and continuity.
