Evidence claims:
- [upstream_claim] Model card: Apache 2.0; a 14B-class model for character animation and replacement; single-GPU use suggests --offload_model True --convert_model_dtype, multi-GPU uses FSDP plus DeepSpeed Ulysses; warns LoRAs trained on Wan2.2 may not behave with Wan-Animate. · source: https://huggingface.co/Wan-AI/Wan2.2-Animate-14B
- [upstream_claim] Paper arXiv:2509.14055 'Wan-Animate: Unified Character Animation and Replacement with Holistic Replication' (submitted 2025-09-17): body motion from spatially aligned skeleton signals, expressions from implicit facial features, Relighting LoRA for replacement. · source: https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.14055
- [upstream_claim] Wan2.2 repository README documents preprocess_data.py producing pose, face, background and mask materials as inputs for Animate and lists the Apache-2.0 license (repository is seeded separately). · source: https://github.com/Wan-Video/Wan2.2
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
