Best image-to-video models to run locally on a 64GB Mac

A leaderboard of the best image-to-video models you can run locally on a Mac with 64GB of memory. Wan 2.2 I2V A14B is #1 right now, followed by HunyuanVideo 1.5 and Wan 2.2 TI2V 5B. Models are ranked on human votes and tests that turn an image into a video. Each model shows the download that fits and the command to run it.
