We’ve just added two incredible new video models from MiniMax to Overchat AI:
Both support Image-to-video and text-to-video workflows and are built on MiniMax’s Hailou 2.0.
Each delivers a major upgrade in realism, physics, and style — matching the quality of Veo 3.1 and Sora 2. And with lighter guardrails, you’re free to push your creativity further than ever.
Hailuo 2.3 is a next-generation AI video model built on Hailuo 2.0. It was developed by MiniMax AI.
Its biggest leap forward is in generating more realistic motion, physics, and character micro-expressions — making animations feel more lifelike.
The main difference between the Standard and Pro versions lies in output quality and generation time. The Pro model produces videos in Full HD (1080p), while the Standard version outputs in HD (720p).
Because of the higher resolution, the Pro model takes longer to generate videos.
Hailou 2.3 generates up to a 10-second-long clips, which puts it ahead of Veo 3.1 and Sora 2 — both of which are capped at just 8 seconds.
You can try both of these versions in Overchat AI Video Generator.
Better physics. Hailou 2.3 now models velocity, gravity, and object interactions with greater accuracy. Collisions, motion, and environmental effects — like rocks splashing into water or ripples catching light — all feel more dynamic and true to life.
Diverse styles. From anime to 3D, stylized videos now look dramatically more realistic than in Hailou 01 and 02.
Realistic faces. With improved skin detail and lifelike facial motion, Hailou 2.3 delivers richer emotion and more believable performances.
Natural movement. The improvements aren’t limited to human characters. Objects behave more realistically too — dominoes fall in perfect sequence, balloons drift and bump gently, and car suspensions respond dynamically in motion. Everything feels more alive and grounded in real physics.
Even with its big leap in quality, Hailuo 2.3 stays surprisingly affordable. In Overchat AI, you can generate a 1080p video with the Pro model for 400 credits, or a 720p video with the Standard model for 300 credits.

You can now generate AI videos using Hailuo 2.3 and Hailuo 2.3 Pro video models on Overchat AI. They’re among the best AI video-generators right now.
Even though Hailuo’s video models come from a relatively small Chinese company MiniMax — at least compared to giants like Google or OpenAI — when you compare them side by side with Sora 2 or Veo 3.1, the gap isn’t that big. Yet, these models are several times cheaper to run!
What’s especially impressive is their ability to produce highly realistic videos full of detail and natural lighting that looks almost ray-traced. They’re not completely free of AI artifacts (no model is yet), but the overall performance is among the best we’ve seen so far. It’s genuinely an impressive achievement.
Beyond generating videos from text prompts, you can also upload an image to use as the first frame and animate it just by describing what you want to happen in plain language. This is perfect for adding motion to photos or turning a still design you made in another model into a short, dynamic clip.
With that said, definitely give these models a try and see how they fit into your workflow — and stay tuned, because we’ll keep adding more exciting AI video and image tools soon.
