The iCreat platform exposes its Spicy (global, unrestricted) version via the endpoint https://api.icreat.ai/v1/task/submit/aliyun/wan3-0/reference-to-video-global, operating in an asynchronous three-step mode with 480P at $0.05/second, 720P at $0.10/second, and 1080P at $0.20/second.
Model Positioning
Wan 3.0 Reference-to-Video Spicy is positioned as the global, unrestricted version of Wan 3.0's reference-to-video model, offering the same capabilities as the standard version with relaxed content restrictions for global users.
Compared to the standard R2V version, the Spicy version shares identical model capabilities and parameter specifications, served through a separate global endpoint. Compared to the Prime accelerated version, the Spicy version is priced lower, suitable for cost-sensitive scenarios.
On the iCreat platform, the model provides services through an asynchronous three-step workflow where users submit tasks, poll for status, and retrieve results.
Core Capabilities
Multimodal Reference Input
Supports combined input of reference images (reference_image), reference videos (reference_video), and reference audio (reference_audio), simultaneously anchoring visual style, motion patterns, and audio atmosphere for cross-reference consistency retention.
Native Audio-Visual Joint Generation
Natively supports ambient sound effects, background music, and multilingual lip-sync generation, completed in a single inference pass without post-production synthesis.
Multi-Resolution and Long Duration
Supports 480P, 720P, and 1080P resolution tiers, with a maximum single generation of 30 seconds at 30 FPS, meeting creation needs from short clips to complete scenes.
Flexible Aspect Ratio Control
Supports five aspect ratios: 1:1, 9:16, 16:9, 3:4, and 4:3, covering landscape, portrait, square, and special ratio display requirements.
Negative Prompt Support
Supports a negative_prompt parameter, allowing users to describe content that should not appear in the video, enabling precise control over generation results.
Relaxed Content Restrictions
The Spicy (global) version offers relaxed content restrictions compared to the standard version, providing greater creative freedom for global users while maintaining the same model capabilities and pricing.
Pricing
| Resolution | Unit Price | Billing | Example Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 480P | $0.05/second | Unit price × output duration | 5 seconds = $0.25 |

Architecture
The iCreat platform's Wan 3.0 Reference-to-Video Spicy operates using an asynchronous three-step architecture. Users submit tasks via the submission endpoint, and the system returns a task ID. The task status is then polled via the query-status endpoint, and once complete, the final video result is retrieved via the get-result endpoint. Requests must include the API Key in the Authorization header for authentication, along with the X-ICREAT-AI-GROUP: wan-spicy header. The request body contains the input object (prompt, negative_prompt, media reference array) and the parameters object (resolution, ratio, duration, watermark) as sibling fields. The media array supports three types: reference_image, reference_video, and reference_audio. The model ID is included in the submission endpoint URL path; the request body does not use a model field.
Notes
- The ratio parameter is required and must be specified when submitting a task
- The duration parameter ranges from 4 to 30 seconds; out-of-range values will be rejected
- Reference media (images/videos/audio) must be publicly accessible HTTPS URLs; private or authenticated addresses may cause task failure
- The model natively supports audio generation; generated videos include audio-visual content by default
- The Spicy (global) version offers relaxed content restrictions compared to the standard version
- Please safeguard your API Key and avoid hardcoding it in client-side code or public repositories
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the billing calculated?
Billing is calculated as the unit price multiplied by the output video duration. 480P is $0.05/second, 720P is $0.10/second, and 1080P is $0.20/second. For example, generating a 5-second 720P video costs $0.50. The iCreat platform price shall prevail.
What is the difference between the Spicy and Standard versions?
The Spicy (global) version and the Standard version share identical model capabilities, parameter specifications, and pricing, distinguished by endpoint path (reference-to-video-global vs reference-to-video). The Spicy version offers relaxed content restrictions for global users, using the X-ICREAT-AI-GROUP: wan-spicy header.
What is the difference between R2V, T2V, and I2V?
R2V (reference-to-video) supports combined input of reference images, reference videos, and reference audio. T2V (text-to-video) requires only text prompt input. I2V (image-to-video) supports text prompts and reference images. All three are priced identically; choose R2V if you need to use reference videos or audio.
What values does the ratio parameter support?
Five aspect ratios: 1:1 (square), 9:16 (portrait), 16:9 (landscape), 3:4 (portrait special), and 4:3 (landscape special). This parameter is required.
What is the maximum single duration?
The video generation duration ranges from 4 to 30 seconds, with a maximum of 30 seconds. The duration parameter must be an integer within this range.
What reference types does the media array support?
Three reference types: reference_image (reference image), reference_video (reference video), and reference_audio (reference audio). They can be combined to simultaneously anchor visual style, motion patterns, and audio atmosphere.
