What is InvokeAI?

InvokeAI's video release reaches stable, closing a candidate train that ran most of August.

6.14.0 is now final after two release candidates dating back to 31 July. The shipped cut carries video generation via Wan 2.2 — text-to-video, image-to-video and interpolation between two stills, driven from the workflow editor with template workflows for concatenating longer productions — alongside multi-GPU execution, native Intel XPU support, and a wide model list: Krea.2 Turbo and Raw, Flux.2 Dev, Flux.2 PiD super-resolution to 4K, Ernie Turbo, Ideogram 4, Anima controlnets and FP8 across several families.

InvokeAI's video release reaches stable, closing a candidate train that ran most of August.

◆ Current state

6.14.0 is now final after two release candidates dating back to 31 July. The shipped cut carries video generation via Wan 2.2 — text-to-video, image-to-video and interpolation between two stills, driven from the workflow editor with template workflows for concatenating longer productions — alongside multi-GPU execution, native Intel XPU support, and a wide model list: Krea.2 Turbo and Raw, Flux.2 Dev, Flux.2 PiD super-resolution to 4K, Ernie Turbo, Ideogram 4, Anima controlnets and FP8 across several families.

◆ Where it's heading

InvokeAI broadened on two axes at once and has now landed both. What it can generate crossed from images into video, which is the larger change; what it can run on grew from multi-GPU in RC1 to native Intel XPU in RC2 and ROCm 7.1 in the preceding maintenance cut. With 6.14.0 out, the model-family additions are the routine work and the hardware breadth is the differentiator — an image tool that runs on Intel and AMD as well as NVIDIA and now produces video is competing on reach rather than on any single model.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next cycle to fill in what RC notes flagged as staged — LoRA, ControlNet and IPAdapter coverage for the newly added text-to-image models — and further video work now that Wan 2.2 is in stable. Whether video moves out of the workflow editor into the main canvas isn't indicated in these entries.
