Hailuo 2.3. MiniMax video at about eight cents a second.
MiniMax's Hailuo 2.3 renders 6 or 10 second 16:9 clips from a prompt or a first frame, at one flat price per second.
- 6 to 10 second clips
- 16:9
- First frame control
Hailuo 2.3 is the MiniMax model before Hailuo 3. It renders 6 or 10 second clips in 16:9 from a prompt, or from a still you hand it as the first frame. OpenRouter lists one price, 8.17 cents per second, so a 6 second clip is about 49 cents and a 10 second clip about 82.
In our test a 6 second clip took 71 seconds, billed exactly the listed rate, and came back at 1366 by 768 pixels with no audio track. On Treza it sits in the Video Generation node's picker beside Hailuo 3 Max, and you can ask for it by name in chat. When a narrator or music belongs on top, a Text to Speech node and the Sequence node add them downstream.
One flat price
8.17 cents per second at every setting, so a 6 second clip is about 49 cents and a 10 second clip about 82. No tiers to compare.
Start from a still
Hand it an image as the first frame and Hailuo 2.3 animates from there, keeping the composition of a product photo or a generated still.
Two lengths
6 or 10 seconds per clip. Enough for a social beat or an establishing shot, and the Sequence node stitches several into a longer piece.
Silent by design
Clips come back without sound, ready for a voiceover or a music bed from the rest of the pipeline.
What to make with Hailuo 2.3
Real prompts, and what comes back. Every one runs in Treza chat or as a node on the canvas.
“A barista pours steamed milk into a latte in a sunlit cafe, slow push-in”
A warm 16:9 cafe shot with latte art forming.
“Animate this product still (attached): slow turntable, soft studio light”
Image to video that keeps your framing.
“Waves roll onto a black sand beach at dawn, wide shot, 10 seconds”
A calm establishing shot for a narrated piece.
“A city street at night in the rain, neon reflections, camera drifts forward”
Mood b-roll under a voiceover.
“A hand turns the pages of an old atlas on a wooden desk”
A close detail shot for an explainer.
“A hot air balloon lifts off over green hills at sunrise”
A clean wide shot to open a travel video.
Hailuo 2.3 is one node on a canvas
Chain it with language, image, and video models, then publish the whole pipeline as an API. See how a full AI video pipeline fits together.
- Step 01
Draft the brief
A language model node expands a one-line idea into a detailed, on-brand prompt before it ever reaches the model.
- Step 02
Generate with Hailuo 2.3
Run variants in parallel, compare against other models on the same prompt, and keep every result in run history.
- Step 03
Publish it as an API
The pipeline becomes a versioned endpoint. Your product calls it with the typed /invoke API or any OpenAI SDK.
Hailuo 2.3 as an API, priced per clip
The Hailuo 2.3 API
Build a pipeline with Hailuo 2.3 on a node and publish it. It becomes a versioned HTTP endpoint: the typed /invoke route enqueues a run and returns a run id to poll, and an OpenAI-compatible route works with SDKs you already use. Agents connect over MCP the same way. Your prompt engineering ships inside the pipeline, so every caller gets your quality, and swapping the model later does not change the API your product calls.
Hailuo 2.3 pricing
Prepaid credits, no subscription. Each clip is charged at Hailuo 2.3's own rate from your balance, shown before you run, and a failed generation costs nothing. Credit packs start at $5 and never expire, which suits spiky production schedules. Run history records the cost of every generation, per node, so spend is auditable rather than a surprise.
Hailuo 2.3, answered
What does Hailuo 2.3 cost?
OpenRouter lists 8.17 cents per second at every setting. A 6 second clip is about 49 cents of provider cost and a 10 second clip about 82, and our 6 second test billed exactly that. On Treza it is charged from prepaid credits, and a failed generation costs nothing.
How is Hailuo 2.3 different from Hailuo 3 Max?
Hailuo 3 Max is the newer model: 5 to 15 second clips in six aspect ratios, a last frame as well as a first, and 480p or 768p, with five second clips back in about 15 seconds in our tests. Hailuo 2.3 is 16:9 only, 6 or 10 seconds, at one flat price. Neither renders sound. Run the same prompt on both, one dropdown apart, and keep the better take.
Can I use Hailuo 2.3 in chat?
Yes. Ask for Hailuo 2.3 by name in Treza chat. On the canvas it is a model in the Video Generation node, and the pipeline it sits in can be published as an API endpoint.
How much does Hailuo 2.3 cost on Treza?
Treza uses prepaid credits with no subscription. Each clip is charged at Hailuo 2.3's rate from your balance, and only successful generations are charged. Credit packs start at $5 and never expire.
Can I call Hailuo 2.3 through an API?
Yes. Build a pipeline that uses Hailuo 2.3 and publish it as a versioned HTTP endpoint. Call the typed /invoke API from your product, or point any OpenAI SDK at the OpenAI-compatible endpoint. If a better model ships later, swap it on the node without changing the API your product calls.
