MiniMax Hailuo 02 Pro Is Now Live on WaveSpeedAI

The AI video generation landscape just got more exciting. WaveSpeedAI is thrilled to announce the availability of MiniMax Hailuo 02 Pro, the image-to-video model that’s redefining what’s possible in AI-powered video creation. Ranked #2 globally on AI video benchmarks and praised for its exceptional physics simulation, Hailuo 02 Pro transforms your static images into cinematic, motion-rich video sequences with unprecedented realism.

What is MiniMax Hailuo 02 Pro?

MiniMax Hailuo 02 Pro is the premium tier of the Hailuo 02 family, developed by MiniMax—a company valued at $2.5 billion that has emerged as a serious competitor in the generative AI space. Codenamed “Kangaroo,” this model represents a complete architectural overhaul from its predecessor, featuring a new Noise-aware Compute Redistribution system that makes it 2.5x more efficient while tripling its parameter count.

What sets the Pro version apart is its tuning for crystal-clear 1080P native output—not upscaled, but genuinely rendered at full HD resolution. Combined with responsive handling of complex physics-driven scenes, Hailuo 02 Pro delivers professional-grade results that rival productions from traditional video studios.

Key Features

Native 1080P Output

Every frame maintains exceptional clarity and fine texture. Unlike many competitors that upscale lower-resolution outputs, Hailuo 02 Pro generates true 1080P video from the start, delivering a professional look ideal for commercial content, social media, and creative projects.

Industry-Leading Physics Simulation

This is where Hailuo 02 Pro truly shines. The model implements multi-layer physics simulation covering:

  • Fluid dynamics: Realistic water, smoke, and fire behavior
  • Rigid body mechanics: Accurate collisions and fractures
  • Soft body dynamics: Natural cloth and hair movement
  • Particle systems: Lifelike dust, sparks, and debris

The physics engine incorporates real-world parameters like viscosity, elasticity, and drag coefficients. For highly intricate scenarios such as gymnastics and acrobatics, Hailuo 02 Pro is currently the only model globally capable of delivering such performance.

Cinematic Motion Quality

Transitions between frames feel like genuine camera work rather than machine stitching. The model understands momentum—not just motion, but the weight and physics behind every movement. Frame stitching and temporal blending have been refined to emulate real camera motion and continuity.

Consistent and Reliable Generation

Professionals need predictability, and Hailuo 02 Pro delivers. The model offers excellent prompt adherence and repeatability, ensuring consistent output quality across multiple runs and edits.

5-Second Video Clips

Generate focused video segments perfect for iterative creative workflows. Mix, merge, and prototype your ideas without sacrificing fidelity.

Real-World Use Cases

Social Media Content

Transform product photos or lifestyle images into attention-grabbing TikToks, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts. The cinematic quality helps your content stand out in crowded feeds.

Advertising and Marketing

Turn static product shots into dynamic brand visuals. E-commerce brands can showcase products in motion, demonstrating functionality and creating emotional connections with viewers.

Film and Game Prototyping

Pre-visualize scenes, camera movements, and action choreography before committing to expensive production. Directors and game designers can iterate rapidly on visual concepts.

Educational Content

Generate visual explainers for complex topics in seconds. Scientific concepts, historical events, or technical processes become more engaging when illustrated with dynamic video.

Concept Art and Storytelling

Animate environments, characters, and atmospheric elements. Artists can bring their static creations to life, testing compositions and movements before final production.

Pitch and Presentation Enhancement

Add compelling motion visuals to strengthen creative or business presentations. A moving visual is far more memorable than a static slide.

Getting Started on WaveSpeedAI

Using Hailuo 02 Pro on WaveSpeedAI is straightforward:

  1. Prepare Your Prompt: Write a cinematic description including motion, lighting, and mood elements
  2. Upload Your Image: Provide a clear JPG or PNG as the starting frame
  3. Optional End Frame: Add a final frame if you want a guided transition between two states
  4. Enable Prompt Expansion: Leave this on for smarter parsing and optimized results
  5. Generate: Click Run and receive your video in approximately 30-90 seconds

At just $0.49 per generation, Hailuo 02 Pro offers exceptional value compared to enterprise-tier alternatives. WaveSpeedAI’s infrastructure ensures fast inference with no cold starts, so you can iterate quickly on your creative vision.
