The diffusers memory guide says the Wan VAE does not support tiling or slicing, but the class has enable_tiling: how can a newcomer tell which statement is out of date without running anything?

Partially verified: the curator re-read none of the cited sources; S1, S2, S6, S4, S12, S13, S14, S16, S17 rest on the producer's pinned reading. A newcomer can compare dates: in diffusers, the two Wan warnings in the memory guide were added on 2025-05-01, and the Wan VAE tiling/slicing code was merged on 2025-05-05, so the code is newer than the warnings; the guide's tiling sentence has not changed since. The class defines enable_tiling itself and gets enable_slicing from a shared mixin, and slicing only helps when decoding more than one video at once. Treat the warning as likely stale but unconfirmed until a short run on your own hardware, because several merged bug-fix PRs show Wan2.2 tiling had errors that were later fixed and two related PRs are still open.

Evidence claims

[sourced_fact] A newcomer can compare dates: in diffusers, the two Wan warnings in the memory guide were added on 2025-05-01, and the Wan VAE tiling/slicing code was merged on 2025-05-05, so the code is newer than the warnings; the guide's tiling sentence has not changed since. The class defines enable_tiling itself and gets enable_slicing from a shared mixin, and slicing only helps when decoding more than one video at once. Treat the warning as likely stale but unconfirmed until a short run on your own hardware, because several merged bug-fix PRs show Wan2.2 tiling had errors that were later fixed and two related PRs are still open. · locator: memory.md at v0.41.0 L192, L217; autoencoder_kl_wan.py at v0.41.0 L1180, L1237 source
