Limitations

• Creative Focus: wan-2.1/i2v-720p is designed for creative video synthesis from images and is not intended to generate factually reliable content.
• Inherent Biases: As with any data-driven model, it may reflect biases present in the training dataset.
• Input Sensitivity: The quality and consistency of the generated videos depend significantly on the quality of the input image; subtle variations in the source material may result in output variability.
• Task Scope: This model is exclusively built for image-to-video conversion at high resolution and does not support additional video generation tasks such as text-to-video or video editing.

Out-of-Scope Use

The model and its derivatives may not be used in any way that violates applicable national, federal, state, local, or international law or regulation, including but not limited to:

• Exploiting, harming, or attempting to exploit or harm minors, including solicitation, creation, acquisition, or dissemination of child exploitative content.
• Generating or disseminating verifiably false information with the intent to harm others.
• Creating or distributing personal identifiable information that could be used to harm an individual.
• Harassing, abusing, threatening, stalking, or bullying individuals or groups.
• Producing non-consensual nudity or illegal pornographic content.
• Making fully automated decisions that adversely affect an individual’s legal rights or create binding obligations.
• Facilitating large-scale disinformation campaigns.
