ASEAN Perspective
Hailuo AI 海螺视频 in Southeast Asia
在国际 AI 视频赛道与 Runway、Pika、Luma 直接对标，是国产文生视频最具国际声量的产品之一。
Hailuo has become a capable, good-value AI video app, with MiniMax's new H3 model producing longer, higher-resolution clips with sound and paid plans bundling rival models such as Veo and Sora. Public reviews are dominated by billing and refund complaints, refunds are not offered, and its parent faces copyright litigation from major studios. Good for creators on a budget; start monthly and cancel carefully.
What we found
Hailuo AI (海螺视频 in China) is the AI video app from MiniMax. Its current flagship model, MiniMax H3, launched in July 2026 as a general multimodal generator producing clips of up to 15 seconds at 2K resolution with native stereo sound, and MiniMax has published its weights under a community licence; the older Hailuo 02 and 2.3 models remain available. Users generate video from text or images, edit and upscale clips, and on paid plans can also use third-party models including Google's Veo 3.1 and OpenAI's Sora 2, plus image models such as Nano Banana, Seedream and Midjourney. Watermark-free downloads may be used commercially, and failed generations are not charged, according to its FAQ. MiniMax's API sells H3 at $0.08 a second at 768p and $0.13 at 2K.
MiniMax, a Shanghai AI company, listed in Hong Kong in January 2026, raising HK$4.8 billion; the international Hailuo service is operated by its Singapore company, Nanonoble Pte. Ltd., under Singapore law. MiniMax has faced legal and reputational challenges: Disney, Universal and Warner Bros. Discovery sued it in September 2025 over copyrighted characters, and in February 2026 Anthropic accused several Chinese labs, including MiniMax, of mining its Claude models.
