Peking University, Tsinghua and Alibaba Open-Source SparkDiffusion for Up to 265x Faster Wan Video Generation
Researchers from Peking University, Tsinghua University and Alibaba have open-sourced SparkDiffusion, an acceleration framework for Alibaba's Wan 2.1 and Wan 2.2 diffusion-transformer video models. Generating an 81-frame 720P video with Wan2.1-T2V-14B dropped from 4,769 to 18 seconds on a single RTX 5090 (265x), and from 1,757 to 8 seconds on an H100. Code is on GitHub under Apache 2.0, with checkpoints on Hugging Face.
