Avatar‑Forever introduces a decoupled parallel training framework that separates efficient generation from long‑horizon robustness, allowing each capability to be trained independently. The method employs full‑parameter distillation for high‑quality generation and a lightweight long‑horizon adapter trained via Recovery‑oriented Rollout Training (RRT) to mitigate autoregressive errors. Additionally, a ForeverCache feature‑caching mechanism reduces redundant computation during streaming inference, enabling real‑time, high‑resolution avatar generation at 27.2 FPS on a single H100 GPU.

Recent advances in generative video modeling have enabled diverse generation, reference-based synthesis, extension, and editing, but existing approaches often rely on fragmented task-specific models. A general model must distinguish heterogeneous target, source, and reference signals to determine what to generate, preserve, or use as guidance, while reducing interference among tasks.

WanPE is a 397‑B parameter prompt‑enhancement model that learns director‑level cinematic planning from 1.05 M real‑world videos. It generates shot‑level cinematic plans through video‑grounded reverse construction and uses Semantic‑Consistency GRPO (SC‑GRPO) to maintain user intent across shots and time. In evaluations, WanPE improves human preference over raw prompts by up to 50.86 points for 30‑second videos and outperforms commercial offerings for shorter durations.
