What the table does not settle
The pairing most often reported wrongly. Wan3.0 is frequently described as open weights; Alibaba publishes weights only up to the Wan2.2 family, so in this catalogue Wan3.0 is proprietary and HunyuanVideo-1.5 is the open one — downloadable from Hugging Face with its code on GitHub.
On stated specifications they diverge sharply: thirty seconds with native audio at 1080P for Wan3.0 [1], ten seconds and explicitly no audio at 1080p for HunyuanVideo-1.5, which Tencent positions as a lightweight model at 8.3 billion parameters [2]. Silent output is not a defect in a workflow that scores the clip separately, and a blind vote on muted playback would be the honest way to compare the pictures.
Run the same brief through both models yourself before anyone's leaderboard tells you which to use: price a matched two-model batch · drive both jobs from one script.
