Technical Specifications of minimax-minimax-hailuo-02

What is minimax-minimax-hailuo-02?

minimax-minimax-hailuo-02 is CometAPI’s platform identifier for MiniMax Hailuo 02, a video generation model designed to create short, cinematic clips from text prompts or source images. MiniMax positions Hailuo 02 as a higher-end video model focused on native 1080p output, stronger prompt adherence, and better performance on motion-heavy or physically complex scenes.

Based on MiniMax’s official materials, Hailuo 02 is intended for creators and developers who need more controllable AI video generation rather than only simple stylized animations. The model is presented as being especially capable in scenarios involving dynamic action, camera movement, character animation, and detailed instruction following.

For CometAPI users, this means minimax-minimax-hailuo-02 is best understood as a production-ready video model endpoint for generating short-form AI video content through a unified API layer.

Main features of minimax-minimax-hailuo-02

• Text-to-video generation: You can generate video clips directly from natural-language prompts, making the model useful for storyboarding, concept visualization, ads, and creative prototyping.
• Image-to-video support: MiniMax documentation and release notes indicate Hailuo 02 also supports image-to-video workflows, allowing developers to animate a source image into a short clip.
• Native 1080p output: One of the headline capabilities of Hailuo 02 is native 1080p generation, which makes it more suitable for higher-fidelity use cases than models limited to lower default resolutions.
• 6s and 10s clip options: Official MiniMax materials describe Hailuo 02 variants that support both 6-second and 10-second outputs, giving developers flexibility between speed and scene length.
• Strong instruction following: MiniMax explicitly highlights state-of-the-art prompt adherence, especially for detailed motion descriptions, camera directions, and complex scene instructions.
• Extreme physics handling: Hailuo 02 is marketed as being unusually strong at rendering difficult motion scenarios such as gymnastics, combat, acrobatics, and other high-dynamics sequences.
• Start and end frame controls: MiniMax announced start-frame and end-frame features for Hailuo 02, which improve controllability for transition-based or shot-planned video generation workflows.
• API-ready deployment: MiniMax states that Hailuo 02 is integrated into its API platform, and CometAPI exposes it through a unified model identifier for easier aggregation and routing.

How to access and integrate minimax-minimax-hailuo-02

Step 1: Sign Up for API Key

Sign up on CometAPI and create an API key from your dashboard. Once you have an API key, you can authenticate requests to the CometAPI platform and access minimax-minimax-hailuo-02 along with other supported models exposed through the unified API.

Step 2: Send Requests to minimax-minimax-hailuo-02 API

Use CometAPI's MiniMax-compatible endpoint at POST /v1/video_generation.

curl https://api.cometapi.com/v1/video_generation \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $COMETAPI_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "model": "hailuo-02",
    "prompt": "A paper boat floating on calm water at sunrise."
  }'

Step 3: Retrieve and Verify Results

The API returns a task ID. Poll GET /v1/query/video_generation?task_id={task_id} to check generation status and retrieve the output video URL when complete.
