MobileWan is a Qualcomm AI Research project that deploys a 5B-parameter video diffusion transformer, derived from Alibaba's Wan2.2-5B, on memory-constrained mobile hardware. It converts the model into a chunk-wise autoregressive process with near-constant-memory attention, using recurrence distillation and causal linear attention so inference behaves like an RNN over frames.
Further compression comes from learnable attention-head pruning (23% of heads, using per-head binary gates and a noise-biased sparsity objective), 3-step sampling distillation and a memory-optimized VAE decoder. According to the project page, it generates 5-second 480×832 videos at 16 FPS in about 20 seconds end to end on a commercial mobile device, with a VBench total score of 83.79 (versus 84.16 for the finetuned Wan2.2 5B baseline).
The project page states that models and training recipes will be released; a YouTube creator reported that code and a roughly 9.9GB model have been released, but no repository or model-card links were found in the provided material. The authors list temporal-consistency failures as a known limitation. It is mainly aimed at researchers and developers working on on-device video generation.
