Product preview

Overview

Hailuo AI is MiniMax's video generation model, and one of the strongest prompt followers in the category: camera directions like 'dolly in' and multi-action scenes land the way you describe them, with lifelike human motion that made it an instant favorite among creators.

Its S2V-01 line adds subject consistency — keep the same character across shots from a single reference image — alongside text-to-video, image-to-video and an API. Free daily credits made it viral fast; queues and Chinese-first UI are the main frictions.
