LTX-Video isn't quite the same quality as Wan, but the new distilled 0.9.6 version is pretty good and screamingly fast.

Wan 2.1 is solid but you start to get pretty bad continuity / drift issues when genning more than 81 frames (approx 5 seconds of video) whereas FramePack lets you generate 1+ minute.

Wan 2.1 (and Hunyuan and LTXV, in descending ordee of overall video quality but each has unique strengths) work well—but slow, except LTXV—for short (single digit seconds at their usual frame rates — 16 for WAN, 24 for LXTV, I forget for Hunyuan) videos on consumer hardware. But this blows them entirely out of the water on the length it can handle, so if it does so with coherence and quality across general prompts (especially if it is competitive with WAN and Hunyuan on trainability for concepts it may not handle normally) it is potentially a radical game changer.

I think he is working on his Ph.D. at Stanford. I assume whatever offers he has haven't been attractive enough to abandon that, whether he’ll still be doing open work or get sucked into the bowels of some proprietary corporate behemoth afterwards remains to be seen, but I suspect he won't have trouble monetizing his skills either way.

I'm no expert but are you sure there is a prompt?

That's a certified bop! ;) You should get elybeatmaker to do a remix!

Edit: I didn't realize that this was actually a reference to Men Without Hats - The Safety Dance. I was referencing a different parody/allusion to that song!

The AI Safety dance?
