Hailuo 3 is MiniMax's 2K video model — the only 2K engine in the lineup — with convincing physics, camera language and sound, in clips from 5 to 15 seconds. It reads up to three subject references from your cast and elements, carries a cast member's voice sample, and takes a first and a last frame. 35 credits / second at 2K, on the Creator plan and up.

What Hailuo 3 is for

Hailuo 3 is the engine for shots where the world carries the frame: weather, water, smoke, crowds, and a camera that moves as if it were directed. At 2K it is the highest-resolution render on eroq — the one to pick when the clip will be seen large, reframed in the edit or cut into a trailer.

Three subject references keep your cast and a key prop consistent, and a cast member's voice sample rides along so their lines come out in that voice.

How to prompt it

→Direct the camera explicitly — crane up, whip pan, slow dolly through the rain — or pick a move from the director's rack; camera language is one of Hailuo's strengths.
→Name the physical detail you want to see move: spray off the waves, smoke curling under a lamp, a coat snapping in the wind.
→@mention up to three subjects from your cast and elements, and write their lines in quotes — @Ines says "Hold the door."
→Each reference picture adds a small charge, so send the ones the shot needs.
→Hailuo takes no seed: render a batch of up to 4 takes and keep the best.

Hailuo 3 or Hailuo 3 Max

Hailuo 3 Max is the fast tier: the same 5 to 15 second lengths and six formats at 480p or 768p, with first and last frames but no reference pictures and no soundtrack, from the Hobby plan. Use Max to find the shot, and Hailuo 3 to render it at 2K with sound and your cast.
