Introduction

FastWan-QAD-1.3B is the fastest variant of the FastWan-QAD series, targeting RTX 5090 users. It uses NVFP4 quantized linear layers paired with the SageAttention3 FP4 attention backend, achieving end-to-end generation of a 5-second 480p video in 1.78 seconds — over 3.4× faster than prior distilled models on the same hardware.

The model is built on Wan-AI/Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B-Diffusers and trained with quantization-aware distillation (QAD), jointly optimizing for low-bit precision and 3-step inference quality.

Hardware requirement: RTX 5090 (sm100+). NVFP4 is a Blackwell-native format and is not supported on older GPUs. See FastWan-QAD-1.3B-SA2 for an alternative using SageAttention2++ or FastWan-QAD-FP8-1.3B for RTX 4090 support.

Model Overview

3-step inference via quantization-aware distillation
NVFP4 linear layers for maximum throughput on Blackwell GPUs
SageAttention3 FP4 backend for attention computation
Trained at 480p (832×480) resolution, 81 frames (5 seconds at 16 fps)
No classifier-free guidance at inference time
Fast decoding via TAEHV tiny autoencoder
