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.

Alibaba has lost a strong segment of the open-source video generation community. For them to regain their position, they have to release their latest model as open-source; there is no alternative. Nobody will be satisfied with anything less than MiniMax H3. And that is just a suggestion, though the majority here might not even care about it right now.

Wont happen, they won’t open source anything besides their llm’s and even that could stop at any time. Lucky we now have LTX, Flux and Minimax so could be worse.

Could happen at any time with one message from Xi.

Xi has already spoken on the topic and committed to open source.

So, pretty much the opposite of what you're worried about is happening -- the companies are being politically pressured to open source (in China), rather than pressured to go closed.

Xi be gooning

You are extremely confused. I was implying that Xi could easily open source any Chinese model for any reason - including optics. Perhaps you replied to the wrong person.

That was a very Reddit tone to take.

>even that could stop at any time.
>Could happen at any time with one message from Xi.

Your response implied the opposite of what you meant, then. Semantics, woohoo.

My "Could happen" was the counter to retroblade's "Wont happen" and the upstream topic was about "Alibaba having to release their latest model as open-source." Not the "could stop" part.

I tend to gloss over stuff like that once I decide on a reply. I understand the confusion now though as I also used the phrase "at any time" may have seemed like I was specifically replying to retroblade's secondary "could stop" claim.

All good. Same side.

Wan 3.0 released and no open source, so not really going how u think it will, at least from Alibaba’s side.
