Hailuo AI and Hailuo 3, explained
Hailuo AI is MiniMax's video app and the name of its family of video models. The third generation, often called Hailuo 3, was released by MiniMax as MiniMax H3 on July 31, 2026. It understands text, images, video and audio together and renders up to 15 seconds at 2K with native stereo sound.
On MiniMax H3 AI you run that same model in the browser: pick text, image (first and last frame) or reference mode, set the length, resolution and shape, and see the exact price before you generate. H3 Max, the faster variant, is one click away for drafts.
You pay per second of video with one-time credit packs — 300 credits cost $9.99 — and every failed render goes straight back to your balance.
MiniMax H3 AI is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by MiniMax. MiniMax, Hailuo and MiniMax H3 are trademarks of their owners.

Hailuo AI questions
Yes. MiniMax released the third-generation Hailuo video model under the name MiniMax H3; Hailuo 3, Hailuo H3 and Hailuo 3.0 all refer to it.
No. MiniMax H3 AI is an independent site that runs MiniMax H3 and H3 Max through an API provider. MiniMax's own app is Hailuo AI at hailuoai.video.
Every render uses credits, because each one costs real compute. A 5-second MiniMax H3 Max clip is 30 credits and the smallest pack is 300 credits for $9.99. Failed renders cost nothing.
It's the same model family without a subscription: you buy credits once, pay per second of video, and see the price before each render. There's no watermark on the downloaded MP4.
MiniMax H3 renders 4 to 15 seconds per video and H3 Max 5 to 15 seconds. Pick any whole number of seconds in that range.
