MiniMax quietly launches its first video model. 720p, 25fps, up to 6 seconds. The specs look modest on paper, but the motion quality and realism surprise everyone. Hailuo represents the emergence of a new player that will quickly become known for photorealistic output. The Cat Olympics viral moment a few months later will prove that Hailuo's physics simulation is genuinely convincing.
