Introducing WaveSpeedAI WAN 2.1 I2V 480p LoRA Ultra Fast on WaveSpeedAI

Introducing Wan 2.1 I2V 480P Ultra-Fast with LoRA Support on WaveSpeedAI

The image-to-video revolution just got faster—and more personal. We’re thrilled to announce the availability of Wan 2.1 I2V 480P Ultra-Fast with LoRA Support on WaveSpeedAI, combining Alibaba’s state-of-the-art video generation technology with custom style personalization and blazing-fast inference speeds.

Transform your static images into dynamic, professional-quality videos in seconds, not minutes. Whether you’re a content creator, marketer, or developer building the next generation of visual applications, this model delivers the perfect balance of speed, quality, and creative flexibility.

What is Wan 2.1 I2V 480P Ultra-Fast with LoRA?

Wan 2.1 is Alibaba’s comprehensive and open suite of video foundation models that has consistently outperformed both open-source alternatives and commercial solutions across multiple benchmarks. The model quickly ascended to the top of the VBench leaderboard, establishing itself as a leader in the video generation space.

This particular variant—the I2V (Image-to-Video) 480P Ultra-Fast—is engineered specifically for high-throughput workflows where speed matters. Built on the mainstream diffusion transformer paradigm, it incorporates a revolutionary spatio-temporal variational autoencoder (Wan-VAE) that delivers reconstruction speeds 2.5 times faster than comparable technologies.

What sets this version apart is its native LoRA support. LoRAs (Low-Rank Adaptations) are a game-changing technique for fine-tuning diffusion models without retraining the entire architecture. This means you can personalize your video outputs with specific styles, characters, or visual aesthetics using far less computational resources than traditional fine-tuning approaches.
