Wan 2.2 14B
Alibaba's flagship Wan 2.2 video model with crisp 480p output and strong stylization. Open-weight availability makes it useful for self-hosted pipelines and teams that want production-quality video generation without closed-API costs. Edged out by Veo, Sora, and Kling at the top tier but cost-competitive.
P-Video
Pruna AI's production-tier video model with fast generation, built-in audio, and multi-aspect-ratio support. Optimized for cost-quality balance — solid for production workflows where the top-tier closed models (Veo, Sora) feel too expensive for the use case.
LTX 2.3 Fast
Lightricks' fastest LTX 2.3 tier with synchronized audio. Open-weight cinematic concept iteration — describe a clip with audio cues, get a quick render with sound. Use for iteration before stepping up to LTX 2.3 Pro for final renders.
