- API
- Yes
- Commercial use
- Not established
Resolutions are 512P, 768P and 1080P, with 6 or 10 second durations except at 1080P which is 6 seconds only. It supports the same 15 bracketed camera commands as Hailuo 2.3.
The research notes for this model record other terms but do not state a commercial-use position, and no licence page was retrieved, so it is not established here. Check the vendor's own terms.

Supported aspect ratios is not established here. That means no page we could retrieve stated it, not that the model lacks one.
Strengths
- Only MiniMax V1 model with a documented first-and-last-frame endpoint
- 512P tier at $0.10 per 6s clip is one of the cheapest documented rates from a first-party API
- Camera command syntax documented in detail
Weaknesses
- 1080P capped at 6 seconds
- No native audio
- Video resolution is forced to follow the first-frame image in first/last-frame mode
- Two generations behind MiniMax H3
Best for
- Cheap iteration and transition shots between two fixed frames.
