Alibaba’s Wan 2.7 AI video model hits Together AI with text-to-video now live, image-to-video and editing tools coming soon at competitive pricing.
Together AI has rolled out Alibaba’s Wan 2.7 video generation model on its cloud platform, pricing the text-to-video capability at $0.10 per second of generated footage. The deployment marks the first major cloud availability for the four-model suite that Alibaba released in late March.
The text-to-video model, accessible via the endpoint Wan-AI/wan2.7-t2v, supports 720p and 1080p resolution with outputs ranging from 2 to 15 seconds. Audio input can drive generation, and multi-shot narrative control works directly through prompt language—a meaningful upgrade over basic prompt-to-video systems that force creators into fragmented workflows.
What’s Actually Shipping
Right now, only text-to-video is live. Together AI says image-to-video and reference-to-video capabilities are “coming soon,” with video editing tools to follow.
The image-to-video model will support first-frame, first-and-last-frame, and continuation generation—useful for storyboarding workflows. A 3×3 grid-to-video feature targets teams building structured content from static assets.
Reference-to-video gets more interesting for production work. It’ll accept both reference images and reference videos as inputs, handling multi-character interactions and complex scene composition at up to 1080p for 10-second clips.
The Editing Play
Video Edit, the fourth model in the suite, addresses what’s arguably the biggest pain point in AI video: the inability to revise without starting from scratch. Together AI’s implementation will support instruction-based editing via text, reference image-based modifications, style transfer, and temporal feature cloning—motion, camera work, effects lifted from source media.
For creative teams, keeping these capabilities within one API surface eliminates the handoff chaos that currently plagues AI video production. Most workflows today involve generating in one tool, editing in another, and manually patching the results.
Competitive Positioning
The $0.10 per second pricing puts Together AI in striking distance of competitors, though direct comparisons depend heavily on resolution and duration parameters. Wan 2.7 itself has drawn attention since its March release—reviews have called it potentially the strongest AI video model of 2026, though some skepticism about the hype remains.
Alibaba built Wan 2.7 within its Qwen ecosystem, and earlier versions (2.1 and 2.2) were open-sourced. Whether 2.7 follows that path hasn’t been confirmed, but the model is now accessible through multiple cloud providers including Atlas Cloud and WaveSpeedAI alongside Together AI.
Integration Details
For developers already on Together AI’s platform, adding video generation requires no new authentication or billing setup. The same SDKs work across text, image, and video inference. The company offers serverless endpoints for development with volume pricing available for production workloads.
Teams evaluating the technology can test directly in Together AI’s playground before committing to API integration. Full documentation covers parameters including audio inputs, resolution control, and the polling loop required for asynchronous video generation jobs.
