Hailuo AI examples made on Cicadas
A coast road at golden hour.
MiniMax H3 Max at 768P. Smooth drone-style follow; the model added soft piano-like music on its own.
Use this recipe ↗A hummingbird, up close.
MiniMax H3 Max (Hailuo family) at 768P. Macro detail and soft bokeh; the audio is ambient electronic music.
Use this recipe ↗A red train above the clouds.
MiniMax H3 Max at 768P. A red train follows a mountain track above a sea of clouds at sunrise, with a steady follow shot. The audio is a loud roar, not train sounds.
Use this recipe ↗A cat watching the snow.
MiniMax H3 Max (Hailuo family) at 768P. A ginger cat on a windowsill watches snow fall over the garden while the camera slowly moves in. The model scored it with piano music.
Use this recipe ↗Umbrellas at a rainy crossing.
MiniMax H3 Max at 480P, vertical. A high view of a wet city crossing at night: colorful umbrellas cross as cars pass. Small shop signs appear with unreadable lettering.
Use this recipe ↗A dragonfly by the lotus.
MiniMax H3 Max (Hailuo family) at 480P. A dragonfly settles on a lily pad beside a pink lotus covered in dew; it lands on the leaf, not the flower the prompt named.
