Result URLs and task ids expire after 24 hours.\n\n**Replicate video models.** One bearer token reaches more than twenty official video models at published per-second prices, each with a typed input schema, and failed runs aren't charged. Tokens have no scopes or spend cap, no SLA is published, and the terms let Replicate withdraw any model without notice.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Alibaba Wan (Model Studio)\n\n1. Send `X-DashScope-Async: enable` on the create call or it fails, then poll GET /api/v1/tasks/{task_id} about every 15 seconds\n2. Copy the video out within 24 hours. The URL and the task id both expire\n3. Use the host from your workspace and region. A Singapore key won't work on a Beijing host\n4. Don't resubmit a slow job. Poll it. Failed jobs aren't billed, so resubmit only after FAILED\n5. Set `audio` false if you don't want sound. It's on by default for Wan 3.0\n\n### Replicate video models\n\n1. Call official models at `POST /v1/models/{owner}/{name}/predictions` with no version, then poll `GET /v1/predictions/{id}` or pass `webhook`. Video jobs usually outlast the 60-second `Prefer: wait` window\n2. Download the output file within the hour. API predictions lose inputs, outputs and logs after 60 minutes\n3. Read the model's price tiers before setting `resolution`, `mode` or `generate_audio`. Kling 3.0 runs from $0.168 to $0.42 a second and Veo 3.1 doubles with audio\n4. Send `Cancel-After` on every create. There is no idempotency key, so a blind retry is a second paid video\n5. Keep credit above $20 or enable auto-reload. Low balances are throttled, and granted credit with no card is held to 6 requests a minute\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) or Replicate video models?\n\nAlibaba Wan (Model Studio) scores 65.1 (B) on agent readiness against Replicate video models's 62.1 (B), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Replicate video models leads on reliability, schema \u0026 documentation, agent ergonomics and payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Can an agent call Alibaba Wan (Model Studio) and Replicate video models without installing anything?\n\nYes.
