abstract
We present Wan-Image, a unified visual generation system explicitly engineered to paradigm-shift image generation models from casual synthesizers into professional-grade productivity tools. While contemporary diffusion models excel at aesthetic generation, they frequently encounter critical bottlenecks in rigorous design workflows that demand absolute controllability, complex typography rendering, and strict identity preservation. To address these challenges, Wan-Image features a natively unified multi-modal architecture by synergizing the cognitive capabilities of large language models with the high-fidelity pixel synthesis of diffusion transformers, which seamlessly translates highly nuanced user intents into precise visual outputs. It is fundamentally powered by large-scale multi-modal data scaling, a systematic fine-grained annotation engine, and curated reinforcement learning data to surpass basic instruction following and unlock expert-level professional capabilities. These include ultra-long complex text rendering, hyper-diverse portrait generation, palette-guided generation, multi-subject identity preservation, coherent sequential visual generation, precise multi-modal interactive editing, native alpha-channel generation, and high-efficiency 4K synthesis. Across diverse human evaluations, Wan-Image exceeds Seedream 5.0 Lite and GPT Image 1.5 in overall performance, reaching parity with Nano Banana Pro in challenging tasks. Ultimately, Wan-Image revolutionizes visual content creation across e-commerce, entertainment, education, and personal productivity, redefining the boundaries of professional visual synthesis.

VGenST-Bench is a new video benchmark for MLLM spatio-temporal reasoning built via generative synthesis, a multi-agent pipeline with human oversight, a 3x2x2 taxonomy, and hierarchical tasks separating perception from reasoning.
MSAVBench is the first comprehensive benchmark for multi-shot audio-video generation featuring four dimensions, challenging scenarios, and an adaptive hybrid evaluation framework that achieves 91.5% Spearman correlation with human judgments.
DiffusionOPD applies online policy distillation from per-task teachers to a unified diffusion student, with a derived closed-form per-step KL objective that unifies SDE and ODE sampling via mean matching.
Empirical studies reveal instruction-level generalization as the main bottleneck in scribble-guided editing; three strategies (curriculum, multi-task mosaicking, edit-focused loss) achieve SOTA on VIBE benchmark.
A unified visual conditioning approach fuses semantic and appearance features before VLM processing, with two-stage training and slot-wise regularization, to improve consistency in multi-reference image generation.
Empirical analysis of data, guidance, and task mixture in few-step distillation of Qwen-Image-2.0 produces the Qwen-Image-Flash model with improved performance in unified generation and editing tasks.
