Alibaba is giving people free access to its generative artificial intelligence models that can produce highly realistic videos and images from both text and image input.

The company has announced that four variants of its Wan 2.1 series are now open source.

Researchers, academics and commercial entities can all get them from Alibaba Cloud's ModelScope and Hugging Face platforms, both of which give people access to open-source AI models.
