Description
Minimax Hailuo is a Chinese AI video generation model known for natural motion, ultra-realistic physics simulation, and cinematic quality. The latest Hailuo 2.3 model significantly improves character micro-expressions, physical actions, and supports diverse styles including anime, illustration, and game CG. It generates 1080p HD video up to 10 seconds with text-to-video, image-to-video, and subject reference modes for character consistency. Generation speed is under 30 seconds for 6-second clips. Subscription plans range from Standard ($10/month, ~1,000 credits) to Max ($200/month, 20,000 credits). The API allows pay-per-video access from $0.10/video, making it cost-effective for bulk content.
