WAN 3.0 launches on API platforms with 30-second video output

WAN 3.0 is now available through Replicate, OpenRouter, and ComfyUI for text-, image-, and reference-driven video generation up to 1080p. Pika says the model supports up to 20 references and 30-second output, while quality and price comparisons remain vendor-reported.

TL;DR

  • Wan 3.0 is now exposed through three developer surfaces: Replicate's announcement calls out native 30-second generation, OpenRouter's launch post lists text, image, and reference inputs, and ComfyUI's launch post says it is live in Comfy.
  • A 30-second clip can be made in one generation, according to Pika's launch post, which also advertises up to 20 references and improved visual and audio realism.
  • OpenRouter has put the model on per-second pricing at three output resolutions, with a 15% launch discount in OpenRouter's launch post.
  • Replicate is separately advertising 30% off for Wan 3.0 in Replicate's promotion, so the launch discounts are platform-specific rather than a single model price.

The ComfyUI release note says Wan can parse web pages and take prompts up to 20,000 characters. Replicate's API card exposes a negative prompt and a prompt-expansion switch alongside explicit aspect-ratio settings.

Thirty-second output

Pika says its launch video was one 30-second generation. Replicate describes its endpoint as producing native, single-take video with synchronized audio.

Reference assets

The advertised 20-reference ceiling breaks down into 10 images, five video clips, and five audio clips, according to ComfyUI's launch note.

API controls and list price

OpenRouter's model page lists base launch prices before its 15% promotion:

  • 480p: $0.05 per generated second, or $1.50 for 30 seconds.
  • 720p: $0.10 per generated second, or $3.00 for 30 seconds.
  • 1080p: $0.20 per generated second, or $6.00 for 30 seconds.

The provider supports clips from two to 30 seconds at 480p, 720p, or 1080p. Pika made its “up to 35% less expensive than competitors” claim in Pika's launch post, without naming comparison models or an input configuration.

One OpenRouter provider

The OpenRouter provider page lists Alibaba Cloud International as Wan 3.0's only provider and says requests are forwarded there directly, without routing. Its listing showed dashes rather than measurements for latency, throughput, and uptime.
