MiniMax: minimax-hailuo-2.3

Released in late October 2025, Hailuo-2.3 is the refined successor to the 02 version. While 02 focused on extreme physics, 2.3 prioritizes cinematic realism and emotional depth. It features a new micro-expression engine capable of rendering subtle facial shifts, making characters feel truly alive. The model also boasts broad stylization support, including high-fidelity anime, ink-wash painting, and game CG aesthetics. It is widely regarded in 2026 as the premier engine for narrative short films and high-end advertising due to its superior prompt adherence and stylistic consistency.
