Hailuo 2.3 online:run the model that replaced it

MiniMax retired the 2.3 ceiling nine months after launch: H3 generates native 2K with stereo sound, 5 to 15 seconds, and reads image, video and audio references. That successor is live in the composer below. H3 is preselected.

Specifications

What Hailuo 2.3 was — and what replaced it

Published Hailuo 2.3 specs first, then the H3 numbers this generator actually runs. Where the two differ, the difference is the upgrade.

Maker and releaseMiniMax shipped Hailuo 2.3 on October 28, 2025, as the successor to Hailuo 02. On July 31, 2026 it was superseded in turn by MiniMax H3 (Hailuo 3.0).
VariantsStandard at 768p, Pro at 1080p, and a Fast variant for image-to-video only.
Clip length6 seconds at 1080p, or 10 seconds at 768p, at 24 fps. H3 in this generator runs 5 to 15 seconds at 2K.
Resolution768p or 1080p depending on variant. H3 outputs native 2K.
AudioSilent output; sound had to be added in an edit. H3 generates stereo sound together with the picture.
Signature strengthMotion physics: fluid dance and fight choreography, facial micro-expressions, and stylized looks from anime to ink wash and game CG.
Availability hereHailuo 2.3 itself is not in this menu. The MiniMax slot in this generator runs H3, and the composer on this page preselects it.

Straight answers

Before you spend a credit

The four questions people ask when they search "hailuo 2.3" and land on a page that is not run by MiniMax.

01

Can I still use Hailuo 2.3 here?

No — this generator carries the current MiniMax model instead. Hailuo 2.3 was superseded by H3 in July 2026, and the MiniMax slot here runs H3 with a higher ceiling on every spec 2.3 was known for.

02

Is it free?

H3 generation is metered in credits per second, with the quote shown in the composer before you submit. You can start free: the free plan covers the entry Seedance models for testing prompts and the workflow before you spend on H3.

03

What was Hailuo 2.3 actually good at?

Movement. Complex physical action, dances and fights with believable physics, character micro-expressions, and stylized rendering — anime, ink wash, game CG. H3 inherits that and adds sound and 2K.

04

What does H3 change over 2.3?

Four ceilings: resolution goes 1080p to native 2K, length 10 to 15 seconds, audio from silent to native stereo, and inputs from a single first frame to combined image, video and audio references.

Workflow

From a Hailuo 2.3 brief to an H3 clip

Four steps, and the strengths that made 2.3 popular carry straight over.

  1. 01

    Open the composer

    H3 is preselected on this page. In the full generator it sits in the model menu under the MiniMax filter.

  2. 02

    Write the movement

    Hailuo models reward action written concretely: the move, the tempo, the camera path, and the style — anime, ink wash, photoreal.

  3. 03

    Add frames or references

    A start frame for image-to-video, start and end frames for a controlled transition, or up to 12 ordered image, video and audio references for subject, motion and voice.

  4. 04

    Set length and submit

    Pick 5 to 15 seconds, check the credit quote, submit. The output is a 2K MP4 with its stereo track.

Where it fits

Briefs people brought to Hailuo 2.3

The four jobs 2.3 was shortlisted for — each now lands on H3 with a higher ceiling.

01

Choreography and fights

Dance moves and impacts with weight and follow-through. The physics fidelity that made 2.3's name carries into H3.

02

Anime and stylized looks

Anime, ink wash, game CG. Style keywords in the prompt render as a look, not a filter — now at 2K.

03

Expressive close-ups

Micro-expressions that read on a face: hesitation, a suppressed smile, a flash of anger — with a voice line now generated in the same pass.

04

Sound-on social cuts

What used to be silent 2.3 output plus a music bed is now one generation: picture and stereo track together, 5 to 15 seconds.

Where to take the brief from here

Same account, same credits, same asset library. The successor first; two Seedance routes beside it.

01

The successor, in full

The dedicated MiniMax H3 page: native 2K with stereo sound, reference workflows, prompt patterns and pricing, all in one place.

02

Longer and editable

H3 tops out at 15 seconds. Seedance 2.5 runs to 30 in one pass, and a finished video can be locally edited or extended instead of regenerated.

Free plan entry

For iterating on prompts before spending on 2K generations: Seedance 2.0 Mini is included on the free plan at 480p and 720p.

FAQ

Hailuo 2.3 questions

What the model was, where it went, and what answers its search today.

Hailuo 2.3 is the video generation model MiniMax released on October 28, 2025 — the successor to Hailuo 02, known for physics-true motion, facial micro-expressions and stylized rendering, at up to 1080p and 6 to 10 seconds.

MiniMax's own line has moved on to H3 (Hailuo 3.0), released July 31, 2026. Some third-party APIs still expose 2.3 endpoints, but the current MiniMax model — and the one this platform runs — is H3.

Because that is what actually runs here, and it is higher on every axis the 2.3 search cares about: 2K over 1080p, 15 seconds over 10, stereo sound over silence, reference sets over a single frame. Faking a 2.3 endpoint would serve nobody.

Yes — H3 is MiniMax's own successor, and movement and style remain its core: fluid choreography, believable physics, micro-expressions, anime and ink-wash looks, now generated with sound.

H3 generations are credit-metered and the composer shows the exact quote before you submit. The free plan includes the entry Seedance models, so you can test prompts and the workflow before spending on 2K output.

No. SeedVideo AI is an independent platform that runs MiniMax H3 through an upstream API, and it is not operated by, endorsed by or affiliated with MiniMax. The official links on this page point to MiniMax's own pages.
