Hailuo 2.3
MiniMax's previous-gen model.
Hailuo 2.3 turns a text prompt or a first-frame image into a 6 or 10 second clip at 768p or 1080p. Hailuo 2.3 Fast is image-to-video only. Both sit next to Hailuo 03 in the studio.
What is Hailuo 2.3?
Hailuo 2.3 is an AI video generation model from MiniMax. On HailuoLabs it does text-to-video and image-to-video at 6 or 10 seconds, 768p or 1080p. It does not take omni references — that's Hailuo 03.
Hailuo 2.3 Fast is the same family, image-to-video only: a first-frame image is required. Both models stay available next to Hailuo 03. The free tier runs Hailuo 02 at 512p, not 2.3. A public developer API is not in v1 — see the Hailuo API page.
Hailuo 2.3 features.
Text-to-video and image-to-video
