## About Hailuo 2.3 Pro

Hailuo 2.3 is the video generation model MiniMax announced on October 28, 2025 as the successor to Hailuo 02. MiniMax is the Shanghai AI company founded in December 2021 by former SenseTime researchers; it raised an Alibaba-led 600 million dollar round in 2024 and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in January 2026. The 2.3 release concentrates on physical motion, character micro-expressions, and stylized rendering, and it shipped across the Hailuo AI website, mobile app, and MiniMax's developer platform on day one. MiniMax documents 768p and 1080p output for the family; this Pro listing is the 1080p configuration, the higher of the two.

On Artifio, Hailuo 2.3 Pro runs in the same workspace as 100+ other models, paid per generation from one wallet with no separate subscription.

## Features

- Animates a supplied image into a video clip; MiniMax documents durations of 6 or 10 seconds for the Hailuo 2.3 family
- 1080p output on this Pro tier, the highest resolution MiniMax lists for the release
- Improved physical action over Hailuo 02: MiniMax highlights flips, dance sequences, and fluid full-body movement
- Stylized rendering across anime, illustration, ink wash painting, and game CG looks
- Character micro-expressions and readable facial emotion are a stated focus of the release
- Cinematic effects and dynamic camera movement, which MiniMax groups under a VFX capability

## What people use it for

- Animating character art into expressive performance clips with readable facial emotion
- Dance, sports, and stunt motion where body physics has to hold up
- Anime and illustration-style motion pieces built from a single drawn frame
- Commercial video work: MiniMax launched the release with the editing platform VEED as a day-one production partner

## Reported strengths

- Human motion physics is the release's core claim, with MiniMax citing flips and dance sequences as benchmark cases
- Facial expressiveness: micro-expressions and subtle gestures carry through more clearly than in Hailuo 02, per MiniMax
- Wide stylization range, from near-photoreal to ink wash and game CG
- MiniMax kept pricing unchanged from Hailuo 02 at launch

## Reported limitations

- Clips are short: MiniMax documents only 6 and 10 second durations, so longer scenes need stitching
- Hailuo 2.3 was absent from the top 15 of the Artificial Analysis image-to-video leaderboard in July 2026, where newer releases from ByteDance, Alibaba, and Google rank ahead
- MiniMax has drawn copyright scrutiny from major studios over Hailuo outputs reproducing protected characters and logos
