What Hailuo AI is

Hailuo AI is MiniMax's video, image and audio generator. It runs MiniMax's own H3 and Hailuo models, and on paid plans also Veo 3.1 and Sora 2. It has its own template categories and tools for upscaling, lip sync and music.

What Hailuo AI is good at

  • Its own H3 model: 4–15 s clips at up to 2K
  • Veo 3.1 and Sora 2 on paid plans
  • Pay-as-you-go credit purchases
  • Upscale, lip-sync and music tools

Where Soracai is different

  • Soracai's video effects are built on Hailuo 2.3 with a fixed, tested prompt per effect, so you don't write or tune prompts.
  • Hailuo says refunds are not supported. Soracai returns credits automatically when a generation fails.
  • Every effect is its own page with the uploader on it (63 today), so you pick the look first and never write a prompt.
  • Downloads have no watermark.
