A New Era of Creation at WAIC: Tongyi Wanxiang Unveils a Wonderful World at WAIC

During the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), Tongyi Wanxiang, the large AI visual generation model of Tongyi Lab under Alibaba, jointly held the themed event "Tongyi Wanxiang WAIC Wonderful World" with "WAIC Wonderful World". The latest upgrade results of the Tongyi Wanxiang model WAN2.2 were prominently displayed on - site, and an AI video creation competition themed "Vibrant Creation" was launched to promote the evolution of the AI creation ecosystem with an open - source spirit and lead the paradigm shift in the film, television, and design fields.

▍ Reconstruction of Design Paradigm: AI Gives Birth to New Creative Roles

Tan Xiao, a product design expert of Tongyi Wanxiang, pointed out that the AIGC era has given birth to two new roles:

AI Creative Director: Drives creative implementation through natural language and participates in the visual production of large - scale events (such as the Olympics and the Spring Festival Gala);

Model Trainer: Designers collaborate with algorithms to explore model training paradigms, optimize the model's aesthetic ability, and help the WAN2.2 model achieve realistic complex motion simulation and film - grade lighting expression.

▍ Innovation in WAN2.2 Interaction Mode

Replace the traditional complex panel with the "Wanxiang Frame" similar to Chatbox, reflecting the transformation of the interaction mode between future AI creation tools and humans; Launch a timeline tool for professional creators, which is a Beta - stage attempt at the native editing or creation software for AI video generation, and invite users to experience and provide feedback.

▍ Display of AI Creation Application Cases

Li Sanshui, the leader of W's Wild Dogs, demonstrated the model effects of WAN2.2 on - site and, combined with the AI MV "Through the Mountains" in cooperation with NetEase Cloud Music and the AI Spring Festival Gala, confirmed the subversive innovation of open - source technology in content production.

▍ Future Sharing Mode and Ecosystem Vision

Li Sanshui believes that the future sharing mode will change from top - down indoctrination to connection, promoting information exchange and ecosystem development. He hopes to build the most comprehensive and best ecosystem on the thinnest soil and realize the application of in - depth AI technology in the commercial society.

▍ Era of Mass Co - creation: A 100,000 - Yuan Prize Pool Event Activates AI Creation Genes

At the event site, Li Yichen (Electronic Wine), the co - initiator of WAIC Wonderful World, introduced the cooperation details of the "Tongyi Wanxiang WAIC Wonderful World AI Video Competition", with a total prize pool of 100,000 yuan and top - level traffic exposure resources. The competition focuses on the theme of "Vibrant Creation" and requires creators to create based on the three breakthrough capabilities of WAN2.2.

▍ Vibrant Creation: Exploring the Creation Boundaries of Video Models

Five guest judges were invited on - site to interpret the competition topics.

Potato Man, an AI artist: "Vibrant" represents growth and generation, and "Creation" represents dynamic and flowing emotions. The competition reflects the expectation of AI generation effects, and creators can express their ideas through it.

Lun Peng, the co - founder of Dinosaur Film: He hopes that creators can use Tongyi Wanxiang 2.2's ability to interpret shots and light to create works that can move the audience.

Li Sanshui, the leader of W's Wild Dogs: "Vibrant Creation" means that each generated work can bring a sense of wonder, reflecting the excitement of the interaction between the tool and the creator.

Huang Chujie, the founder of Amenways: "Vibrant Creation" reflects the vitality and dynamic functions of WAN 2.2. He hopes that contestants will use long - shot and large - dynamic shots in the competition.

Tan Xiao, a product design expert of Tongyi Wanxiang: The WAN2.2 model has improved in both motion and film - grade shot capabilities, and enhanced the rendering of characters' facial expressions and emotions. He suggests that creators try at a delicate level. A good work should immerse the audience in the story and make them forget the technical expression. The key is to tell a good story.

The guests jointly called out: "Use flowing shot language to strike the audience's hearts!"

Human imagination should be more "wild" than AI, and let technology serve the story.

▍ Extension of Social Value: Igniting the AI Creation Craze

This AI creation revolution jointly built by WAIC Wonderful World and Tongyi Wanxiang is redefining the genetic sequence of "Vibrant Creation" - technology will eventually fade into the background, while human imagination will always stand in the spotlight.
