- How is it different from Hailuo 2.3, Hailuo 2.3 Fast and Hailuo 2.3 Pro?

Hailuo 2.3 Pro: Hailuo 2.3 at 1080p, from text or a first frame, at one price per video. They all run in the same studio, so you can try one prompt on each.

- Is Hailuo 02 free to try?
- No. There is no free credit: you add credit from $5, and your first top-up has no card fee. The cheapest run is $0.366 (a 6-second clip), so $5 covers 13 of those. You pay per run, in dollars, with no subscription.
- Can I use what I make commercially?
- Yes. You own what you make on Leap, so you can use it commercially, and we never train AI on it. The people and brands shown in a result can still have rights in it; the Terms say more.
- Is there an API?
- Yes. Leap's REST API runs it as minimax/hailuo-02, at the same price per run as the studio, and agents can call it through Leap's MCP server. The request is at the bottom of this page.
- Do I need a MiniMax account?
- No. Leap sends your request to MiniMax's model and gives you what it makes. One Leap account runs Hailuo 02 and every other model, in the studio, through the API and from your agents.
Your idea, Hailuo 02.
Every run shows its price before it starts, and one that fails costs nothing.
