Hailuo 02

Hailuo 02 is a cinematic AI video generation model developed by MiniMax. It's currently ranked #2 globally on the Artificial Analysis benchmark, surpassing Google's Veo 3. The model specializes in creating professional-grade videos with ultra-realistic physics simulation and cinematic quality output.

Hailuo 02 costs $0.28 per video generation through fal's API platform. On BasedLabs, it costs 300 credits per video. This makes it highly cost-efficient compared to other professional AI video generation models while maintaining world-class quality.

Hailuo 02 generates videos in 1080P resolution with up to 10 seconds duration at 24-30 FPS. It's powered by NCR architecture with 2.5x faster training and inference, 3x larger parameters, and 4x more training data compared to previous versions. The model supports both text-to-video and image-to-video generation.

You can access Hailuo 02 through multiple platforms: the official Hailuo AI website (hailuoai.video), BasedLabs platform which supports 70+ languages, and fal's API platform for developers. Each platform offers different features and pricing options to suit various user needs.

Hailuo 02 ranks #2 globally, surpassing Google Veo 3 (#3) but trailing Seedance 1.0 (#1). It offers superior physics simulation, more flexible content policies, competitive pricing, and wider platform integration compared to many competitors. The model excels in cinematic quality and character consistency.

Hailuo 02 features ultra-realistic physics simulation that accurately handles object interactions, fluid dynamics, and natural motion patterns. It can even handle extreme physics scenarios like acrobatics while maintaining realistic movement and collision detection, setting it apart from many other AI video models.

Hailuo 02 supports multiple languages including English and Chinese, with culturally appropriate visual interpretations. Through BasedLabs platform, it supports over 70 languages, making it accessible to a global user base for international content creation.

Hailuo 02 uses advanced facial recognition and body tracking technology to maintain consistent character appearances across frames. This addresses a common challenge in AI video generation, ensuring that characters look the same throughout the video with frame-perfect motion precision for facial expressions and choreographed sequences.

Hailuo 02 supports diverse content creation including action sequences, animation, fantasy worlds, natural landscapes, character portraits, cinematic storytelling, creative narratives, and physics demonstrations. It's suitable for film production, marketing content, educational videos, and social media creation with professional-grade quality.
