Creating a 10-second social media video traditionally takes 2-3 hours: filming, editing, adding music, syncing audio. Most creators give up before posting their first video.

Wan 2.6 changes this. Alibaba's latest AI video model generates complete videos with synchronized dialogue and ambient sound in under 30 seconds - no camera, no editing software, no audio sync headaches.

Can AI generate videos with sound? Yes. Wan 2.6 is now live on Alici.ai, and it's the first open-weight model to do native audio generation. Here's what makes it different and how to create your first video.

What Makes Wan 2.6 Special for Creators?

Wan 2.6 is the first open-weight AI video model to generate synchronized audio natively. Unlike other tools that require you to add voiceovers or sound effects separately, Wan 2.6 creates dialogue and ambient audio as part of the video generation process.

Compared to Wan 2.5, the 2.6 update improves lip-sync accuracy, extends maximum video length, and delivers more coherent narratives for multi-shot content.
