Introducing MiniMax Video 02 on WaveSpeedAI
Try MiniMax Video 02 for FREEMiniMax Hailuo 02 Arrives on WaveSpeedAI: World-Class Video Generation with Unmatched Physics Mastery
The AI video generation landscape just got more competitive. MiniMax’s Hailuo 02, currently ranked #2 globally on the Artificial Analysis benchmark, is now available on WaveSpeedAI—bringing ultra-clear 1080P output and industry-leading physics simulation to your creative workflow.
Whether you’re crafting short-form social content, prototyping game cinematics, or bringing product videos to life, Hailuo 02 delivers the visual fidelity and motion realism that professional creators demand.
What is Hailuo 02?
Hailuo 02 is MiniMax’s flagship video generation model, launched in June 2025 with a revolutionary architecture called NCR (Noise-aware Compute Redistribution). This breakthrough technology delivers 2.5x faster training and inference compared to previous generations, while the model itself features 3x larger parameters and was trained on 4x more data than its predecessor.
The result? A model that consistently outperforms competitors in visual quality, motion continuity, and subject adherence—all while maintaining some of the most affordable pricing in the industry.
Key Features
Native 1080P Resolution
Unlike models that upscale from lower resolutions, Hailuo 02 generates true 1080P video from the first frame. No post-processing fuzziness, no upscaling artifacts—just clean, crisp visuals ready for professional use.
Extreme Physics Mastery
This is where Hailuo 02 truly shines. The model accurately simulates:
- Gravity and collision detection with realistic weight and momentum
- Fluid dynamics for water, fog, and atmospheric effects
- Material properties that respond naturally to light and movement
- Complex motion sequences including gymnastics, martial arts, and dance
According to MiniMax, Hailuo 02 is currently the only model globally capable of accurately generating intricate scenes like gymnastics routines—a testament to its physics understanding.
Flexible Duration Options
Generate clips in 6-second or 10-second formats, giving you creative flexibility without compromising quality. This makes it easy to test ideas quickly with shorter clips before committing to longer sequences.
Superior Scene Transitions
Where other models produce awkward cuts or uneven frame stitching, Hailuo 02 delivers smooth, cinematic transitions that resemble professional camera work. The result looks more like a movie trailer than a slideshow.
Exceptional Consistency
Professional teams will appreciate Hailuo 02’s reliability. Users report consistent output when repeating the same prompts, making it ideal for collaborative environments where repeatability matters.
Use Cases
Short-Form Social Content
Create scroll-stopping videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Hailuo 02’s cinematic quality helps your content stand out in crowded feeds.
Product and Advertising Videos
Transform static product images into dynamic, motion-rich videos. The 1080P output ensures your brand looks sharp across all platforms—no full production team required.
Game and Film Prototyping
Rapidly visualize characters, scenes, and trailers before committing to full-scale production. The physics accuracy means your prototypes will closely match final rendered footage.
Educational Content
Turn complex concepts into visually engaging animated sequences. Teachers, course creators, and corporate trainers can communicate ideas that would be difficult to film traditionally.
AI-Enhanced Storytelling
Animate still images into cinematic micro-scenes. Artists and content creators can bring their static work to life without any animation expertise.
How Hailuo 02 Compares
In the Artificial Analysis Video Arena benchmark, Hailuo 02 placed second in the image-to-video category—ahead of Google’s Veo 3 and just behind Bytedance’s Seedance. But where Hailuo 02 really pulls ahead is in cost efficiency.
Generating a six-second 768p video costs approximately $0.28 via API, while a 1080p version runs about $0.49. Compare that to approximately $3 for an eight-second 1080p video with Google Veo 3, and the value proposition becomes clear.
For creators and startups who need professional quality without enterprise budgets, Hailuo 02 delivers exceptional value.
