A new architecture for physics mastery
Hailuo 02 SD is built on MiniMax’s Noise-aware Compute Redistribution (NCR) architecture — a novel approach that reallocates compute resources based on noise level during the diffusion process, directing more processing power where it’s needed most. The result is a 2.5× speed improvement over the previous generation alongside significantly better output quality. With 3× more parameters and 4× more training data than Hailuo 01, Hailuo 02 SD achieves notably better physical scene simulation — object interactions, fluid dynamics, and gravity-driven motion are rendered with accuracy that earned it a #2 global ranking on Artificial Analysis video benchmarks.Capabilities
Physics mastery
Object interactions, fluid dynamics, and gravity-driven motion are rendered with high physical accuracy — a defining strength of the NCR architecture.
768p output
Generates at 768p resolution for efficient, high-quality output.
NCR architecture
Noise-aware Compute Redistribution dynamically allocates processing power during diffusion, producing better results faster than conventional diffusion approaches.
2.5× faster than predecessor
Significantly reduced inference time versus Hailuo 01 — practical for production pipelines where generation speed matters.
Text and image input
Supports text-to-video and image-to-video workflows with consistent subject rendering across the generated clip.
6 or 10 second clips
Choose between 6-second or 10-second generation lengths for flexible content creation.

Prompting tips
- Lean into physics — Hailuo 02 SD handles physical interactions exceptionally well. Prompts involving water, falling objects, explosions, or impact scenes will produce notably accurate results.
- Cinematic camera moves — “Slow pan left,” “push-in shot,” and “crane shot” are all well-supported camera movements.
- Be specific about materials — “Water splashing on stone,” “smoke billowing from a chimney,” or “glass shattering” will trigger the physics simulation accurately.
