Hailuo AI — one price, ten seconds.
Hailuo 2.3 Pro from MiniMax is the one model in King AI's flagship line-up that does not bill by the second. A clip costs a flat 4.9 credits whether you ask for six seconds or ten, which works out at 0.49 credits a second on the ten — the cheapest second of 1080p video anywhere in the catalog. Its other signature is performance: faces that act rather than merely move.
Specs
What Hailuo 2.3 Pro actually does.
Every figure below is read from the app's own model catalog at build time, so it is the number you will be charged — not a rounded marketing estimate.
| Mode | Engine | Max resolution | Clip length | Audio | Credits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Text to video, Pro | Hailuo 2.3 Pro | 1080p | 6s·10s | No | 4.9 per clip (~$1.96) |
| Image to video, Pro | Hailuo 2.3 Pro | 1080p | 6s·10s | No | 4.9 per clip (~$1.96) |
| Text to video, Standard | Hailuo 2.3 Standard | 768p | 6s·10s | No | 2.8 up to 6s · 5.6 up to 10s |
| Image to video, Fast Standard | Hailuo 2.3 Fast Standard | 768p | 6s·10s | No | 1.9 up to 6s · 3.2 up to 10s |
| Start & end frame, Hailuo-02 Pro | Hailuo-02 Pro | 1080p | 6s·10s | No | 0.8 per second (~$0.32) |
Strengths
What Hailuo 2.3 Pro does best.
Expressive characters, and the only flat price in the line-up.
Flat pricing
Six seconds and ten seconds cost the same 4.9 credits. Take the ten and the effective rate is 0.49 credits a second — nothing else at 1080p comes close.
Character acting
Emotion, reaction and performance beats that read on camera, rather than a face that simply holds still while the camera moves.
Camera direction
Whip pans, crash zooms and orbits land when you name them, which makes Hailuo the model to reach for when the camera is the idea.
Prompt adherence
Multi-step actions tend to arrive in the order you asked for them.
Limits
Where Hailuo is the wrong pick.
No model wins every shot. These are the cases where something else in the app is the better spend.
Hailuo 2.3 generates no audio. Every clip comes out silent and needs a separate music, voice or sound-effects pass. Veo 3.1, Sora 2 and Kling V3 Pro all produce sound with the picture.
There are two lengths and no others: six seconds or ten. A four-second cut still costs the full flat price, which inverts the usual advice — with Hailuo, short clips are the expensive ones.
Only the Pro tier reaches 1080p. Hailuo 2.3 Standard and Hailuo 2.3 Fast Standard output 768p, so the cheap tiers are a genuine step down in resolution rather than just in price.
Head to head
Hailuo 2.3 Pro against the alternatives.
The same six columns for the models you would realistically pick instead, on the same job.
| Model | Max resolution | Clip length | Audio | Credits per second | Shortest clip |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hailuo 2.3 Pro | 1080p | 6s·10s | No | flat 4.9 (~$1.96) | 6s · 4.9 credits (~$1.96) |
| Kling V3 Pro | 1080p | 3–15s | Yes | 1.68 (~$0.67) | 3s · 5.04 credits (~$2.02) |
| Veo 3.1 | 1080p | 4s·6s·8s | Yes | 4 (~$1.60) | 4s · 16 credits (~$6.40) |
| Sora 2 Pro | 1080p | 4s·8s·12s | Yes | 5 (~$2.00) | 4s · 20 credits (~$8.00) |

Where to use Hailuo 2.3 Pro.
Every card links to the King AI tool that gets you there fastest.
Acting and drama
Scenes that turn on a facial performance rather than an environment.
Dynamic camera work
Music-video energy, with the move written into the prompt.
Photo animation
Expressive animation of a portrait, from a single still.
Clips you will score anyway
If a track is going over the top, the missing audio costs you nothing.
How it works
Getting the most out of Hailuo 2.3 Pro.
Always ask for ten seconds
Six and ten cost the same. Unless you specifically need the shorter clip, ten seconds is free length.
Write the performance
Name the emotion and the beat — 'she realises, then smiles' — because performance is the thing Hailuo does that the cheaper models do not.
Name the camera move
Hailuo obeys explicit camera language. 'Crash zoom to a close-up' is a real instruction here, not decoration.
Plan the audio separately
Nothing comes out of Hailuo with sound. Budget a music or voice generation for every clip you keep.

Hailuo 2.3 Pro, answered.
What is Hailuo AI?
Hailuo is MiniMax's video generation model. King AI carries Hailuo 2.3 Pro at 1080p, Hailuo 2.3 Standard and Hailuo 2.3 Fast Standard at 768p, plus Hailuo-02 Pro for start-and-end-frame shots. There is no separate MiniMax account.
How much does Hailuo 2.3 Pro cost in King AI?
A flat 4.9 credits per clip. It is the only flagship in King AI that does not bill by the second, so a 6-second clip and a 10-second clip cost exactly the same. Taking the 10-second option works out at 0.49 credits per second.
Does Hailuo generate audio?
No. Hailuo 2.3 produces a silent clip. If you need sound you will generate it separately with King AI's music, voice or sound-effects tools, or pick a model that generates audio with the picture, such as Veo 3.1, Sora 2 or Kling V3 Pro.
What resolution and length does Hailuo support?
Hailuo 2.3 Pro outputs 1080p in clips of 6 or 10 seconds. Hailuo 2.3 Standard and Hailuo 2.3 Fast Standard output 768p at the same two lengths. There are no other durations.
How does Hailuo compare to Kling V3 Pro?
Kling bills 1.68 credits per second and generates audio, so a 10-second Kling clip is 16.8 credits against Hailuo's flat 4.9 — but the Kling clip arrives with sound and can be any length from 3 to 15 seconds. Hailuo wins on price per second and on facial performance; Kling wins on flexibility and audio.
