Looks like there is some quality reduction, but nonetheless 2s to generate a 5s video on a 5090 for WAN 2.1 is absolutely crazy. Excited to see more optimizations like this moving into 2026.

Now if someone could release an optimization like this for the M4 Max I would be so happy. Last time I tried generating a video it was something like an hour for a 480p 5-second clip.

I mean the baselines were deliberately worse and not how someone would be using these to begin with maybe noobs and the quoted number is only for DIT steps not for other encoding and decoding steps, which is actually quite high still. No actual use of FA4/Cutlass based kernels nor TRT at any point.
