Kenning's take
What it does
Wan2.2-S2V is a 14-billion-parameter speech-to-video model from Alibaba's Tongyi Lab. Given a single image and an audio track, it generates video of the character speaking, singing or performing, with facial expressions, body movement and camera work, in full-body or half-body shots at 480p or 720p. The weights and code are free to download under Apache 2.0, and there are online demos on Hugging Face and ModelScope.
