What the premium buys
Prime runs the same model with higher-fidelity sampling and additional inference steps. Specs, providers and the 30-second ceiling are identical to standard Wan 3.0. The fidelity gain is most visible on close-up character shots, dense product photography, and motion-heavy reference-driven clips.
When to choose Prime
- Character-driven narrative shots where facial detail matters.
- Product hero clips where texture and material rendering carry the spot.
- Reference-driven scenes where Wan 3.0 standard drifts on the third or fourth reference.
- Final-deliverable masters — render in Prime, prototype in standard.
