MiniMax Hailuo 2.3 Standard
Overview
MiniMax Hailuo 2.3 Standard is a high-fidelity video generation model developed by Chinese AI company MiniMax. Building on the foundation of MiniMax Hailuo-02 Standard, it creates dynamic, physics-accurate videos from text and image prompts with upgraded motion coherence and stylistic control. This model is especially good for producing complex action sequences, realistic human micro-expressions, and frame-consistent animations with reliable prompt adherence.

What is MiniMax Hailuo 2.3 Standard best used for?
MiniMax's Hailuo 2.3 Standard is highly effective at generating complex physical actions, dynamic camera movements, and realistic character micro-expressions. It renders fluid human motion, such as dancing or fighting sequences, with strict physics adherence. Beyond live-action realism, the model is widely used for stylized content, offering strong support for anime, ink wash painting, and game CG aesthetics. The Standard tier outputs at 768p resolution, making it a fast and cost-effective option for rapid prototyping or social media clips.
When was Hailuo 2.3 released, and what are its related models?
Developed by the Chinese AI company MiniMax, Hailuo 2.3 was officially released on October 28, 2025. It is the direct successor to MiniMax Hailuo-02 Standard and MiniMax Hailuo-02 Pro, which launched in June 2025. The 2.3 architecture introduced major upgrades in physics simulation and multi-style generation. Alongside this Standard model, MiniMax released MiniMax Hailuo 2.3 Pro for higher-fidelity 1080p outputs, as well as MiniMax Hailuo 2.3 Fast Standard for accelerated image-to-video processing.
Are there any prompt tips or special features for Hailuo 2.3 Standard?
To get the best results, use detailed cinematic phrasing in your text prompts, specifying exact camera angles (e.g., "pedestal up," "tracking shot") and lighting conditions. For image-to-video workflows, start with a high-quality reference from an image model like Seedream 5.0 Lite or Nano Banana 2. A standout capability is MiniMax's Start and End Frame feature. By uploading both an opening and a closing image, you can force the AI to generate a seamless, physics-aware transition between the two, which is highly useful for complex narrative shifts or logo reveals.

Prompt tips
- Bracket Camera Moves: Enclose camera instructions in brackets (e.g.,
[Pan Right],[Dolly In]) at the end of your prompt to lock in cinematic movements. - Detail the Physics: Explicitly describe material reactions—such as "fabric folding in the wind" or "light refracting through water"—to leverage the model's advanced physics engine.
- Direct the Acting: For close-ups, specify micro-expressions (e.g., "a subtle twitch of the eyebrow" or "eyes slowly narrowing") to get the most out of the model's facial performance capabilities.
- Lock in Styles: When generating anime or game CG, use specific aesthetic keywords (e.g., "ink wash painting," "clean line-art") to ensure frame-to-frame color and style stability.
