What is WAN 3 Reference?

Reference the images positionally in the prompt — for example, 'the subject in Image 1 walks past the building in Image 2'. Up to nine reference images per generation, at 480p, 720p or 1080p, with audio generated in the same pass. Billing is per second of output, at the model's cost plus a flat 20% platform fee, shown before you spend. Upstream WAN 3 accepts up to 30 seconds in one generation; on FairStack it is capped at 16 seconds, the platform-wide ceiling.
