WA Can I run Wan 2.2 TI2V 5B on Apple M3 Pro (18GB)?
Yes. Wan 2.2 TI2V 5B runs on Apple M3 Pro (18GB) at Q4 GGUF (~8 GB of ~12 GB usable).
Runs at Q4 GGUF using ~8 GB of ~12 GB usable.

How to run it
Use ComfyUI or Diffusers at Q4 GGUF. The big text encoder is loaded to encode your prompt, then offloaded before generation, which is why peak VRAM stays near the backbone size rather than the sum of every file.

FAQ
Can Apple M3 Pro (18GB) run Wan 2.2 TI2V 5B?
Yes. Wan 2.2 TI2V 5B runs on Apple M3 Pro (18GB) at Q4 GGUF (~8 GB of ~12 GB usable).
How much VRAM does Wan 2.2 TI2V 5B need?
Apple M3 Pro (18GB) has room to spare. At Q4 GGUF the realistic peak is ~8 GB of VRAM, versus ~24 GB with every component kept resident (no offload). With aggressive CPU offload it drops to ~5 GB, much slower.
What do I use to run Wan 2.2 TI2V 5B locally?
Wan 2.2 TI2V 5B runs in ComfyUI or Diffusers. It loads as a video diffusion checkpoint plus its text encoder and VAE, not a single chat command.
