Data & enterprise terms

Historical Beijing model access. Complete retention, training-use and account terms are not collected.

Caching

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.

01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain

The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.

02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state

Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.

03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate

Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say

No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.

Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.

The record behind the model

Why it is included

Classification inference: a separately named hosted Alibaba model with no exact public checkpoint identified in the reviewed provider documentation. The official AnimateAnyone research repository has no model weights and links to a separately named public Wan-Animate successor; equivalence to the hosted Gen2 models is not established. Private checkpoint lineage remains unverified.
