• Outstanding instruction following

  State-of-the-art instruction adherence means Hailuo 02 interprets detailed prompts accurately. Complex scenes with multiple elements, specific camera angles, and precise motion translate directly into video output.

• Realistic physics and material rendering

  Accurate simulation of object interactions, fluid dynamics, lighting behavior, and material properties. Content looks physically plausible and grounded in real-world physics.

How to generate your first video

1. Write a detailed prompt. Describe your scene with specificity—character actions, emotions, environment, lighting, camera movement, and any physical interactions. Include details about physics and material behavior; Hailuo 02 interprets these precisely.
2. Configure video settings. Choose between 768p-6s, 768p-10s, or 1080p-6s options depending on your quality and duration needs. Select aspect ratio and frame rate (24, 25, or 30 fps).

Common questions

What is Hailuo 02?

Hailuo 02 is MiniMax's advanced text-to-video and image-to-video AI video generator. It produces 1080p cinematic videos up to 10 seconds in length at 24-30 fps. Hailuo 02 is powered by NCR architecture delivering 2.5x faster generation with 3x larger parameters and 4x more training data. It is ranked #2 globally on independent AI video benchmarks, specializing in extreme physics simulation, professional motion dynamics, and realistic character consistency.

What is extreme physics, and why does it matter?

Extreme physics refers to complex, challenging motion scenarios—gymnastics, parkour, acrobatics, and intricate choreography. Hailuo 02 is currently the only AI video model globally capable of generating these complex scenes with physical accuracy. Most models struggle; Hailuo 02 renders them naturally.

What resolution options does Hailuo 02 provide?

Hailuo 02 offers three configurations: 768p-6s (6 seconds at 768p), 768p-10s (10 seconds at 768p), and 1080p-6s (6 seconds at 1080p). Choose based on your balance between resolution quality and duration needs.

Does Hailuo 02 maintain character consistency across clips?

Yes. Hailuo 02 employs advanced facial recognition and body tracking technology. Characters maintain consistent appearance, facial identity, and body language across multiple clips, making it ideal for multi-scene productions and series-length content.

What is the NCR architecture?

NCR (Noise-aware Compute Redistribution) is Hailuo 02's underlying architecture. It redistributes computation based on noise levels in the generation process, achieving 2.5x faster training and inference while expanding model parameters 3x and increasing training data 4x. This efficiency makes Hailuo 02 faster without sacrificing quality.

Does Hailuo 02 include audio generation?

No. Hailuo 02 generates video without native audio. Sound, music, and dialogue must be added separately in post-production using your preferred audio and video editing tools.
