Hailuo AI 海螺

MiniMax's video model with strong physics simulation

VideoFreemiumLLM-drafted

Part of this entry was LLM-drafted and is being polished.

Hailuo (海螺) is MiniMax's video model — known for nuanced physical simulation, fluid dynamics, particle effects. Free tier is generous, paid plans cheap by Western standards.

Editor's verdict

Strong pick for shots involving water / fire / particles / cloth — Hailuo handles these noticeably better than Runway / Luma. Aesthetic is competitive. Same caveat as Kling — Chinese-hosted, content review applies. Worth trying side-by-side with Kling for any Chinese-sphere creator.
