About this model
Hailuo 02 Standard is MiniMax's budget AI video generation model — the cheapest video option on Renas AI at $0.045 per second of generated video. The model produces 768p resolution output (vs Hailuo 02 Pro's 1080p), making it suitable for content where the quality bar is moderate and per-second cost matters most. Generation time is approximately 4 minutes for a 6-second clip per fal.ai documentation.
MiniMax positions Hailuo as commercial-use ready, and the Standard tier specifically targets workflows that need video output without premium pricing. Resolution at 768p is sufficient for social media content (where most viewing happens at sub-1080p), email marketing video, internal training materials, and high-volume content pipelines where cost compounds dramatically. For production hero campaigns or anything requiring 1080p+, escalate to Hailuo 02 Pro or Kling-tier models.
On Renas AI, Hailuo 02 Standard is available in the AI Video tool with both T2V and I2V endpoints (per Renas video config — fal.ai page documentation references T2V only on this specific endpoint). Reach for it when (a) you're producing high-volume video content where per-second cost matters most, (b) the output target is sub-1080p (social media, email, internal training), or (c) you're A/B testing cheap video options before committing to premium production. For premium quality, Kling 2.6 Pro or Veo 3.1 Fast.
Key Strengths
Cheapest video model on Renas
$0.045 per second at fal.ai raw rate — among the cheapest AI video options anywhere. A 6-second clip costs $0.27 raw vs Kling 2.6 Pro's $0.42 (audio off) at $0.07/sec.
Commercial use ready
MiniMax positions Hailuo as a commercial-grade video platform. The Standard tier handles routine commercial workflows — marketing videos, social content, internal communications — without premium pricing.
768p resolution
Sufficient for social media (where viewing typically happens at lower resolutions), email video marketing, internal training, and high-volume content. For 1080p output, step up to Hailuo 02 Pro.
Budget-friendly for high-volume workflows
The $0.045/sec pricing means content workflows that would be expensive at Kling/Veo tier become economical. Bulk product video, recurring social content, and template-based video pipelines fit Standard's economics.
Single-pass generation
~4 minute generation for 6-second clip per fal.ai documentation. Slower than premium models but acceptable for asynchronous workflows where you queue multiple generations.
MiniMax research backing
Hailuo is MiniMax's flagship video product — actively developed by a major Chinese AI lab. Standard tier benefits from the same research foundation as Pro.

Things to consider

- ~4 min generation time for 6-second clip — slower than premium models

Best use cases
High-volume social media video
Daily TikTok posts, weekly Instagram Reels, ongoing video content workflows where per-piece cost compounds. 768p is sufficient for sub-1080p platform viewing.
Email marketing video
Embedded video in newsletters and marketing emails — typically displayed at smaller dimensions where 768p is more than sufficient. Cost-efficient for high-cadence campaigns.
Internal training and communications
Internal company training videos, communication clips, onboarding content. Quality bar is moderate, cost matters for high-volume workflows.
Concept exploration and A/B testing
Generate cheap drafts on Standard, pick the strongest concept, then escalate the winner to Hailuo 02 Pro or Kling for production-quality regeneration. Standard's economics support broad exploration.
Bulk product video
Ecommerce product showcase video, catalog video content. Where you need many short videos rather than premium hero campaigns, Standard's pricing makes scale practical.
Educational and tutorial clips
Course material video, tutorial supporting clips, explainer animations. Where the video supports text content rather than carrying the message, Standard's quality is sufficient.
