The Wan-Weaver model generates interleaved text and images by decoupling the task into a Planner (VLM) for narrative coherence and dense prompt generation, and a Visualizer (Diffusion Transformer) for image synthesis. This architecture, combined with a decoupled training strategy leveraging synthetic and reference-guided data, achieves strong performance on multi-turn multi-modal generation benchmarks.

Key insights

  • Decomposing interleaved generation into textual planning and visual consistency modeling enables robust performance without relying on extensive real interleaved training data.
  • Utilizing large-scale synthetic "textual-proxy interleaved data" effectively trains the Planner to manage modality transitions and generate detailed visual guidance (dense prompts).
  • Strategic use of diverse visualizer training data, including multi-image reference data derived from videos and homologous images, enhances long-range visual coherence for consistent object identity and style.
