ZenCreator
ZenCreator needed a production AI platform that could sustain more than one million image and video generations per month, reduce false positives in commercial creative, and keep cost per generation viable as usage scaled across creators and agencies.
Over 1 million generations per month
approximately 500,000 videos and 500,000 images
more than 1.5 million registered creators
Solution
ZenCreator runs its image and video generation business on Alibaba Cloud Model Studio, making the Wan and Qwen model families the primary engines behind a high-volume creative application. All production traffic is routed through the Model Studio international endpoint in Singapore and integrated with the DashScope API and Python SDK. The platform uses Wan for video and image generation, Qwen for image generation and editing, and LoRA fine-tunes on Wan 2.7 to preserve consistent character identity across outputs. Requests are submitted asynchronously and then polled through the task API, allowing ZenCreator to absorb peaks in demand without blocking end-user workflows. This design is tuned for commercial creative use cases—social, advertising, e-commerce, lip sync, virtual try-on, and editing—where the company must balance visual quality with predictable operating costs. By combining Alibaba Cloud model APIs with its own orchestration layer, ZenCreator turned managed multimodal inference into a scalable production pipeline for more than 1.5 million creators and agencies.
Data flow
User prompts and assets are sent from the ZenCreator web app to Model Studio through DashScope, Wan and Qwen models generate or edit images and videos asynchronously, task results are polled back into the orchestration layer, and completed assets are returned to creators and agencies.
Solution architecture
- Serving
- Alibaba Cloud Model Studio Provides the managed API surface through which ZenCreator executes all production inference traffic.
- Wan Powers core video and image generation workflows for commercial creative content.
- Qwen Handles image-generation and image-editing tasks within the platform.
- Wan 2.7 Supplies the fine-tunable multimodal model used for consistent character-aware generations.
Architecture clues
- All production traffic runs through the Model Studio international endpoint in Singapore
- DashScope API and Python SDK are used for integration
- Requests are submitted asynchronously and polled through the task API
- Wan 2.7 LoRA fine-tunes preserve character consistency across generations
