MINIMAX HAILUO 02 [STANDARD] (TEXT TO VIDEO)

MiniMax Hailuo 02 [Standard] (Text to Video) is a text-to-video generation model provided through the fal.ai platform. This model enables users to generate videos from text-based prompts, transforming detailed written descriptions into visually rich video content.

The fundamental capability of MiniMax Hailuo 02 is its ability to accept natural language text as the sole input modality and output an automatically generated video. Users provide a prompt, which can range up to 2,000 characters, allowing for intricate narrative or scene detail. The example prompt in the documentation describes a 'Galactic Smuggler,' and the model synthesizes this narrative into a visual video sequence. The system also includes the option to enable a prompt optimizer, which by default is set to true, potentially optimizing how the text is interpreted for video generation.

Videos are generated at a resolution of 768p, with selectable durations of either 6 or 10 seconds depending on user preference. There is an explicit note that 10-second durations are not compatible with 1080p resolution, though 768p is fully supported.

From a technical standpoint, the model interface is defined by a clear input/output JSON schema. For inputs, the schema allows specification of the prompt, the desired duration (6 or 10 seconds), and whether to use the prompt optimizer. Outputs are provided as a downloadable video file with metadata including URL, file name, file type, and size.

MiniMax Hailuo 02 [Standard] operates as an API, supporting both direct integration into applications and use via an online playground. The documentation specifies commercial use, indicating the model is suitable for professional applications, partnerships, and production environments.

The system is designed with efficiency in mind, delivering video generation results in approximately 4 minutes per request (as observed in example logs). Upon completion, users receive a direct link to download the resulting MP4 video file. The documentation provides clear detail on input parameter constraints, such as minimum and maximum prompt length (1-2,000 characters), and outlines that the model is most effective within these boundaries.

While the research content does not list specific ideal use cases or target user groups, it does present the model as advanced and suitable for commercial and partner-based applications. There is no express discussion of quality ratings, visual fidelity, or motion characteristics, nor are explicit model limitations detailed beyond duration/resolution pairing constraints. Best practices, if any, are limited to following input parameter guidance and utilizing the prompt optimizer for potentially enhanced results.

In summary, MiniMax Hailuo 02 [Standard] (Text to Video) offers:

• The ability to generate 768p videos from text prompts of up to 2,000 characters
• Support for 6 or 10 second video duration settings (with duration-dependent resolution noted)
• Optional prompt optimization for enhanced prompt handling
• Downloadable MP4 video output via direct link
• Average video generation time of approximately 4 minutes per request
• Commercial- and partner-ready deployment as an API or platform tool

Users interested in transforming narrative or descriptive text into short video sequences can leverage this model for efficient, text-driven content generation, suitable for both experimentation and production contexts as outlined in the official documentation.
