What is minimax-video-gen?

A guide for generating videos with MiniMax's Hailuo model from text, images, or subject references. Video generation runs as a background task that must be checked until finished.

Use it for text-to-video, image-to-video, subject-reference video generation, and retrieving completed videos through the configured service.

It provides the required sequence for submitting a video request, tracking its progress, downloading the result, and making it available for use.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00100	$0.02686
Opus 5	$0.00050	$0.01343
Sonnet 5	$0.00020	$0.00537
Haiku 4.5	$0.00010	$0.00269

Security

Grade A, and why

minimax-video-gen scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Mandatory Rules (violation will cause failure)

Must use HTTPS to access agent-service — https://127.0.0.1:${PORT} with -k to skip certificate verification
Use Bash curl throughout — do not use the HttpRequest tool or Python
Polling interval is 10 seconds — use sleep 10 to wait
Must use providerId — do not use provider, or requests will route to the wrong upstream

Full Execution Flow

Prerequisites

The user has already configured and enabled a Provider with video_gen service in Resource Manager → Compute and entered the API Key
agent-service is running

Core Concept: Four-Step Asynchronous Flow

Video generation uses an asynchronous task model via the NewAPI gateway:

Submit task: POST /video/generations to create a task, receive a task_id
Poll status: GET /videos/{task_id} until status is "completed"
Download & upload: download from data.metadata.url, upload to media-store
Display: use dc-media:// protocol to show the video

Provider Selection (Important)

Use providerId (not provider) to target the correct gateway. When the provider is a NewAPI gateway (e.g. desirecore-cloud), use providerId. Do not use provider: "minimax" — this would route to the MiniMax native host, which does not support the NewAPI /video/generations path.

{
  "providerId": "desirecore-cloud",
  "serviceType": "video_gen",
  "endpoint": "/video/generations",
  ...
}

Model Selection and Fallback Strategy

Model	Supported Modes	Characteristics	Use Case
MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3	Text-to-video + image-to-video	Highest quality, default first choice	Default when the user doesn't specify
MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3-fast	Image-to-video only	Fast, 50% lower cost	Fallback when quota is insufficient in image-to-video scenarios

Fallback rules (mandatory):

Use MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3 by default
When text-to-video (T2V) quota is insufficient: MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3-fast does not support text-to-video and cannot be used as a fallback. Inform the user directly that the quota is insufficient and suggest waiting for the quota to reset or switching to another video generation service (such as Kling)
When image-to-video (I2V) quota is insufficient: fall back to MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3-fast and inform the user "switched to the fast model for generation"
If the user is doing image-to-video and explicitly requests fast generation, use MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3-fast directly

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

minimax-video-gen is a skill published in the GitHub repository desirecore/market (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 100 tokens to every session and 2,686 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
