What Hailuo 2.3 does well

Hailuo 2.3 is MiniMax's video model, available on Kreavo as Hailuo 2.3 Fast. Its model card reads: MiniMax cinematic image-to-video, 1080p, ultra-fast. It produces 6 or 10 second clips at 1080p in 9:16 or 16:9 and requires an image as the starting frame. That combination — full HD, fast, and one of the lowest prices on the platform — makes Hailuo 2.3 the model to reach for when you have a strong still and need it moving quickly.

• Cinematic image-to-video
• 1080p output
• Ultra-fast generation
• 6 or 10 second clips
• Aspect ratios 9:16 and 16:9

Hailuo 2.3 vs other models on Kreavo

Hailuo 2.3 and HunyuanVideo 1.5 from Tencent are the two low-cost image-to-video models on Kreavo, priced almost identically ($0.64 to $1.07 versus $0.67 to $1.07). The difference is resolution: Hailuo 2.3 outputs 1080p, HunyuanVideo 1.5 outputs 480p or 720p with an extra 8-second option. Grok Imagine from xAI is cheaper at the very low end ($0.17 for 6 seconds at 480p) but caps at 720p. When you need native audio, multi-shot scenes or 15 seconds, step up to Kling 3.0 from Kuaishou ($1.40 to $4.20). The same product and AI influencer carry across all of them.

Limits to know

• Image-to-video only: Hailuo 2.3 requires a starting image, so there is no pure text-to-video
• Clip length is 6 or 10 seconds; Kling 3.0 goes to 15, Seedance 2.5 and Wan 3.0 to 30
• Two aspect ratios, 9:16 and 16:9 — no 1:1
• Native audio is not listed; use Kling 3.0, VEO 3.1 or Vidu Q3 when sound must be generated
