## 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.

## 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.

### Example prompts

> A basketball player dunks in slow motion. Ball impacts the rim and net with realistic physics. Arena lights, crowd noise suggested by visual cues. 6 seconds, 768p.

> Waves crash against rocky cliffs at sunset. Wide shot, dramatic foam and spray, physically realistic water simulation. 10 seconds, 16:9.
