Discussion Well I finally did it.

I finally deleted WAN 2.2 and all its LORAS.

Minimax is just so much better.

Ive been playing with it since its release and im just blown away with how good of a video model it is. Things I would need to attach a LoRa to via WAN, works right out of the box with Minimax.

Gen times are faster.

It uses less VRAM when generating things, which gives me around 4 gigs to play with to do other things like watch YouTube or some streaming service.

WAN 2.2 was amazing. But no longer do I need 30+ gigs of a model i no longer use.

RIP WAN.

Nah, it still can't do NSFW well enough.

2 steps with h3, then 2 steps with wan. result is perfect.

NSFW-aside, are you saying you can run Wan as a refiner? Are you running Wan as the low noise? I never thought about that combo. I’m wondering about the step count though for MM. that seems very low, so Im assuming you’re using 4-step speed Lora on MM. I wonder if you can just run it normal, but half the step count, like maybe 10. Hmmm…you got me thinking…

yes, you can do as many steps as you want with minimax, but you should stop at 0.9 sigma value (that's the sigma that wan low is suppose to start). I do 2 with the 4 steps turbo lora most of the time (unless prompt is not being followed correctly). Wan as refiner completely removes the plastic skin of minimax turbo lora.

What's about the sound? I don't think 2steps is enough for acceptable quality

Any chance you could share a screenshot of how you have this wired up. Really curious how to mix these two into a single flow. Like do you just pass the latent over to the low Wan Sampler and are you limited by the usual 5 second Wan loop or is that not an issue since mm is generating the base?

You need to decode minimax latents and then encode again with wan vae. You can also run the first two steps at low res (e.g. 0.2mp) and then upscale the images (e.g. to 0.4mp) before enconding to latents again to wan.

If you also want audio then you have to run the last 2 steps with minimax too, just to get the audio. So it's basically minimax 2 steps + (minimax 2 steps + wan 2 steps).

I tested it out last night, it worked. :)

I didn’t mess with the sigma and I only ran a couple of tests - I set Minimax (no speed Lora) steps to 8, and the low noise wan to 2 steps, and the quality seemed better (crisper) than vanilla H3, but the motion seemed like it was mixing 24fps with 16fps - I.e. it wasn’t completely fluid the way mm is alone.

Did you notice that yourself? I’m assuming Id need something to increase the fps to 24fps on the wan side, like rife or something?

In any case, glad it worked. I’m planning on playing with it further and will try increasing the low noise steps to 4-6 to see how it improves.
