Hailuo 2.3 by MiniMax
Hailuo 2.3 AI video generator: MiniMax’s budget model for motion and anime
Hailuo 2.3 is MiniMax’s video model for convincing body motion and physics on a small budget. On Viralance it makes silent clips of 6 / 10s (1080p: 6s only) at 720p / 1080p, from 3 credits when you start from a photo, and it completed 100% of 34 real user generations.
Opens the studio with Hailuo 2.3 selected; the cost shows before you generate. Viralance is an independent platform, not affiliated with MiniMax.
What Hailuo 2.3 does
Hailuo 2.3 is good at weight and momentum: a dancer’s skirt flaring, water splashing off a heel, a dog shaking itself dry. MiniMax positioned 2.3 as an upgrade to Hailuo 02 in body movement, facial expression and stylised looks.
Anime and illustrated styles hold together better than on most budget models, which is why it is a common pick for cel-shaded clips and turning a drawing into motion.
It has no audio. Add music, a voiceover or captions after generating, or use MiniMax H3 when the sound should come from the model.

Hailuo 2.3 vs MiniMax H3
Hailuo 02 was never offered on Viralance, so this compares 2.3 with its successor in the same family, MiniMax H3 (also called Hailuo 03):
| Aspect | MiniMax H3 | Hailuo 2.3 |
|---|---|---|
| Native audio | Yes, stereo | No |
| Lengths | 5 / 10 / 15s | 6 / 10s (1080p: 6s only) |
| Resolution | 768p / 2K / 4K | 720p / 1080p |
| Credits, cheapest clip | 3 (5s, 768p) | 3 (6s, 720p, from a photo) |
| Real-use success | 76% | 100% |
Hailuo 2.3 still wins on stylised anime motion and on price for a 720p photo animation; H3 wins when you need sound, 15-second clips or a 2K/4K export.
Prompt tips for Hailuo 2.3
Start from a photo to save credits
Image-to-video is cheaper than text on Hailuo 2.3: 3 credits for 6 seconds at 720p from a photo, 4 from text.
Describe force and material
Words like "heavy", "soaked", "silk", "bounces twice" give the physics something to work with. Hailuo is weakest when nothing in the prompt moves.
Name the anime style precisely
"cel-shaded, flat colours, painted background" works better than "anime". Mention line weight or a decade ("90s anime") for a stronger look.
1080p is 6 seconds only
At 1080p the model renders 6 seconds (7 credits). For 10 seconds, use 720p.
