Introducing WAN 2.2 Spicy Image-to-Video on WaveSpeedAI

The AI video generation landscape just got more exciting. We’re thrilled to announce the availability of WAN 2.2 Spicy Image-to-Video on WaveSpeedAI — a powerful model that transforms your static images into dynamic, cinematic video content with expressive motion and stunning visual quality.

Built on Alibaba’s groundbreaking WAN 2.2 multimodal architecture, this model represents the cutting edge of open-source video generation technology. Whether you’re a content creator, marketer, filmmaker, or digital artist, WAN 2.2 Spicy delivers the expressive visuals and smooth animations you need to bring your creative vision to life.

What is WAN 2.2 Spicy?

WAN 2.2 Spicy is an advanced image-to-video generation model that converts single images into fluid, high-quality video sequences. The “Spicy” variant is specifically optimized for bold, vivid motion and rich tonal contrast, making it ideal for creative storytelling and stylized content that demands emotional intensity.

The underlying WAN 2.2 architecture introduced the world’s first open-source Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) design for video diffusion models, featuring 27 billion parameters while activating only 14 billion per inference step. This architectural innovation delivers superior handling of complex motions and semantics while maintaining computational efficiency.

In benchmark comparisons, WAN 2.2 has demonstrated performance that rivals or exceeds leading commercial models like Sora, Kling 2.0, and Hailuo 02 — particularly in motion control and style consistency.
