Wan-Animate-2 Released: End-to-End Character Animation with Real-Time Inference
pmttyji · reddit · 2026-08-07
Wan-Animate-2 is a novel end-to-end character animation framework that directly processes driving videos within a Diffusion Transformer. By eliminating intermediate motion extractors, it achieves high-fidelity motion generation and strong identity preservation.
The model introduces text-driven viewpoint control to decouple the output camera perspective from the driving video. It also features Wan-Animate-2-Lite, an efficient variant that reduces inference latency to real-time thresholds for streaming character animation.
Official inference scripts, base model weights, and distilled model weights have been open-sourced.
