Hailuo AI is developed by MiniMax, an AI company focused on generative media technologies. MiniMax builds models across video, image, AI voice, and text, supporting use cases like video generation, character animation, and multimodal creation. Its video models are currently available on Artlist.

Generation time depends on the model variants you choose. Fast versions are optimized for speed and can produce results more quickly, while Standard and Pro versions take longer but offer higher output quality. As a general rule, use faster models for experimentation and switch to higher-quality models when finalizing videos.

Hailuo generates video clips of up to 10 seconds in 768p or 1080p, depending on the model. Standard and Fast models support longer clips (up to 10 seconds) at 768p, while Pro and Fast Pro models generate in 1080p resolution with durations of around 5–10 seconds for higher-quality output.
