Maximum quality stylized video
Hailuo 2.3 Pro is the quality-priority configuration of MiniMax’s Hailuo 2.3 model — the same architecture as Hailuo 2.3 SD, tuned for maximum output quality rather than cost efficiency. The improvements over Hailuo 2.3 SD are most visible in complex scenes: physics-driven interactions render with higher accuracy, character expressions carry more nuanced detail, and stylized art styles (anime, illustration, ink-wash, game-CG) produce more polished, consistent results. A fast variant is available at 50% reduced cost for volume generation at the same quality profile.Capabilities
Maximum stylization fidelity
The highest quality output for anime, illustration, ink-wash, and game-CG styles — more consistent linework, richer color depth, and better artistic coherence than the SD tier.
Enhanced micro-expression rendering
More detailed facial expression modeling — subtle emotional nuances, natural eye animation, and realistic lip movement are all rendered with higher precision.
Physics-aware rendering
Improved physics accuracy for object interactions, material behavior, and environment dynamics in complex stylized scenes.
Professional art direction
Output quality suitable for commercial animation, game cinematics, and professional art-directed video production.
Fast variant available
Pro quality at 50% lower cost via the fast variant — same quality profile, reduced generation cost for higher-volume projects.
Text and image input
Full text-to-video and image-to-video support with style consistency across both input modes.

How to use
Specify your style
Include the art style explicitly: “anime style,” “game-CG cinematic,” “traditional ink-wash,” or “detailed illustration.”
Describe character expressions in detail
For the best use of the enhanced micro-expression system, describe the emotional state and specific facial nuances you want.
Set resolution and duration
Choose 768p for up to 10 seconds, or 1080p for 6-second clips at maximum visual quality.
Prompting tips
- Push stylization further — Hailuo 2.3 Pro handles more complex style descriptions than the SD tier. “Studio Ghibli-inspired watercolor animation with a soft, hand-painted texture” will produce coherent results.
- Combine styles with physics — “A ninja flips through falling cherry blossom petals in anime style” benefits from both the stylization and physics systems simultaneously.
- Expression + micro-cue descriptions — “Her eyes well with tears, a single drop forming at the corner — she blinks slowly and turns away” will be rendered with the enhanced micro-expression system.
- For game cinematics — “Unreal Engine 5-style game cinematic, photorealistic character models, dramatic cinematic lighting, high-production value” produces strong game-CG outputs.
Example prompts
Studio Ghibli-style animation: a young girl stands at the top of a hill, wind blowing through her hair. The countryside stretches below. Soft afternoon light, watercolor sky. Her expression is serene, eyes distant. 8 seconds, 768p.
Game-CG cinematic: two knights clash swords in a rain-soaked castle courtyard. High-detail armor, realistic water splashing underfoot, dramatic lightning in the background. 6 seconds, 1080p.
