Revision History

Correction: repaired a corrupted model-versions table row that dated Hailuo 2.3 to the September 16, 2025 lawsuit filing instead of its October 28, 2025 release

H3 weights released August 3, 2026 on Hugging Face/ModelScope under the MiniMax H3 Community License; noted territory exclusions and API-only stages; linked new MiniMax H3 article

Correction: two statements about competitors' absence from the video arenas were wrong (Runway's Aleph 2.0 ranks sixth on the editing board, and earlier Hailuo models still rank on the boards that exclude audio), the court in the Disney suit is now named, and a timeline row was out of order

Correction: rewrote SEO FAQ headings as encyclopedic sections and brought the article current to August 1, 2026. Added MiniMax H3 (July 31, 2026): 2K, native stereo audio, 4-15s, API identifier MiniMax-H3. Corrected Video-01 launch to August 31, 2024 (MiniMax), I2V-01-Live to January 12, 2025, and Master plan price to $94.99 (was $119.99); added Ultra and Max tiers. Removed unsourced claims (Hailuo 02 MoE backbone, 92.1/87.3 benchmark scores, 70+ languages, traffic rankings). Replaced stale March 2026 leaderboard with current Artificial Analysis standings and added third-party availability, copyright litigation and limitations.
