Wan 3.0

The top-ranked video model, from 55 credits a second

Alibaba's Wan 3.0 ranked first for text-to-video with audio on the Artificial Analysis leaderboard in October 2026. Sound comes with the picture at no extra cost, and 1080p runs at 220 credits a second — a quarter of Veo 3.1 with audio.

Good to know

  • Only a first frame can be supplied — there is no last-frame target to pin how a shot ends.
  • Sound is always generated; there is no switch to turn it off. It costs nothing extra.
  • With a first frame, the clip keeps the image's framing and the aspect ratio you send is ignored.
  • Clips stop at 15 seconds on Tchavi for now, although Wan 3.0 can reach 30.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pay with mobile money, without a bank card?

Yes. Top up your Tchavi account with Orange Money, MTN MoMo, M-Pesa or another mobile money operator. No bank card is needed. Credits land as soon as the payment is confirmed and are deducted as you use them.

Is the API compatible with OpenAI's?

Yes. Keep your current OpenAI SDK, just change the base URL to Tchavi's (shown in the API tab) and use your Tchavi key. The rest of your code stays the same.

API

import Tchavi from '@tchavi/sdk';

const client = new Tchavi({ apiKey: 'API_KEY' });

const job = await client.videos.generations.create({
  "model": "wan-3",
  "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a cat astronaut floating in space",
  "resolution": "480p",
  "duration": 5,
  "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
  "generate_audio": true
});

console.log('Job id:', job.id);
console.log('Credits used:', job.tchavi.credits_used);

// Poll for completion
let result = await client.videos.generations.retrieve(job.id);
while (result.status === 'pending' || result.status === 'processing') {
  await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 2000));
  result = await client.videos.generations.retrieve(job.id);
}
console.log('Video URL:', result.output?.video_url);
