Details
MiniMax is a Chinese AI company behind Hailuo and Talkie. It offers credits to try Hailuo 2.3, which turns text or images into videos, and Hailuo 2.3-Fast, a faster model. The sign-up bonus of about 500 credits is given once, followed by a daily bonus of around 50 to 80 credits.
Regular users receive credits by creating an account on the Hailuo website or mobile app. The sign-up bonus and daily bonus together are enough to make about 2 to 3 short 768p videos a day. Developers can sign up for the MiniMax open platform at platform.minimax.io to receive free launch-trial credits.
Videos made with free credits are 768p and include a watermark. They can only be used for evaluation and personal experiments, with no commercial usage rights. To get watermark-free videos and commercial usage rights, you need a paid Hailuo subscription or to top up API (program integration) credits. The developer platform provides bonus credits daily during its launch period, but has not disclosed an exact official figure for the daily free allowance. Since the allowance is small and may change at any time, you should consider the top-up cost if you plan to use it at production scale.
