What’s different
Why creators reach for Hailuo 2.3
Always-on native audio
Every Hailuo 2.3 render includes matching ambient audio at no extra credit cost. Perfect for lifestyle, commercial, and character-driven shots where silence reads as incomplete.
Strong realism on urban + lifestyle
MiniMax has tuned Hailuo for physical plausibility in modern real-world scenes — people walking, food being prepared, vehicles moving. One of the most photoreal mid-tier models on gVideo.
Tight prompt adherence
Hailuo 2.3 follows detailed prompts closely, especially for choreographed multi-subject scenes. You get closer to your intent on the first render than most mid-tier models.
Sensible credit cost — two tiers
Standard 768p at 25 credits per 5s makes Hailuo the cheapest audio-included model on gVideo. Pro 1080p at 40 credits per 5s is the upgrade for hero shots. Pick per generation.

Common questions about Hailuo 2.3
Who makes Hailuo 2.3?
MiniMax, a Chinese AI lab. Hailuo is their video-first model line and 2.3 is the current production version. gVideo integrates the official MiniMax endpoint via fal.ai — no re-hosted checkpoints.
Is Hailuo 2.3 free to try?
Yes — 100 free signup credits cover four 5-second Standard 768p renders (25 credits each) or two 5-second Pro 1080p renders (40 each). Standard is the default and one of the best free-tier options on gVideo because audio is always included.
Does Hailuo 2.3 generate audio?
Yes — always on, no extra credit cost. MiniMax's provider bills audio into the base rate, so we don't add a surcharge like we do for optional-audio models (Kling, Veo).
How does Hailuo 2.3 compare to Kling 3.0?
Hailuo 2.3 and Kling 3.0 are different tools for different scenes. Hailuo wins on lifestyle/urban realism with audio included. Kling 3.0 wins on peak cinematic motion and character close-ups. At 25 credits (Standard) vs. 40 (Kling 3), Hailuo's default tier is also cheaper. Run the same prompt on both — the comparison is instant from one credit pool.
Can I use Hailuo 2.3 output commercially?
Yes on all paid plans. gVideo grants commercial rights matching MiniMax's Hailuo licensing. Free tier outputs are watermarked and for personal use only.
What aspect ratios does Hailuo 2.3 support?
16:9 landscape, 9:16 vertical, and 1:1 square. Maximum duration is 10 seconds.
