Wan2GP Lands on Pinokio, Bringing Low-VRAM Video Generation Local

Wan2GP arrived on Pinokio in early September, enabling one-click local AI video generation on as little as 6GB VRAM. The WanGP v13 release soon followed, further lowering hardware barriers for local video and song generation.

Episode 1 · Wan2GP lands on Pinokio: one-click AI video generation on 6GB VRAM (2026-09-07, 4 posts)

Wan2GP, a heavily optimized Gradio UI for low-VRAM machines, is now available as a one-click install on Pinokio for both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs (RDNA2+), letting users run AI video generation with just 6GB VRAM across models like Wan 2.1/2.2 and Hunyuan Video.

Episode 2 · WanGP v13 Hits Pinokio: Local Video and Song Generation on Low-VRAM GPUs (2026-09-16, 5 posts)

On September 16, developer cocktailpeanut shipped a series of updates around WanGP (Wan2GP), dramatically lowering the hardware barrier for local AI video and song generation. WanGP v13.00 introduces the latest song generation model YuE2, which the author says rivals Suno 5 and runs on an ordinary PC with just 4.5GB of VRAM — feed in lyrics and a genre and it generates a full song with vocals; the author's own testing suggests it really is better, and sample songs were released.

Confirmed

  • WanGP/Wan2GP is now on Pinokio with one-click install and launch — a heavily optimized Gradio interface for low-VRAM machines (6GB+ VRAM), supporting Wan 2.1/2.2, Qwen, Hunyuan Video, LTX Video, Flux, and more.
  • A dedicated AMD build of WanGP also landed on Pinokio, letting RDNA 2-4 A-series GPU users run the above video generation models locally.
  • WanGP newly integrates LongCat Avatar 1.5 Distilled 13.6B (Another lipsync lip-sync video generation model), runnable even on low-spec machines.

Why It Matters

  • Suno-level song generation on 4.5GB of VRAM and multiple mainstream video generation models on 6GB mean ordinary users without high-end GPUs can do audio and video creation locally, free of cloud subscriptions and privacy concerns about uploading content.
  • The AMD release fills a long-standing gap for A-card users overlooked by the local AI tool ecosystem, and Pinokio's one-click install lowers the barrier further.
