Comparison with Other Video Models
vs Google Veo 3: Hailuo 2.3 offers superior realism in human motion and physical object interaction, with enhanced facial micro-expressions and prompt fidelity. Google Veo 3 excels in cinematic-quality video with native audio generation and excellent scene continuity. Veo 3 supports longer videos but lacks the same level of fine-grained physical realism as Hailuo 2.3.
vs Sora 2: Sora 2 targets ultra-high-resolution (up to 4K) video and longer durations (up to 60 seconds), focusing on storytelling and scene continuity. Hailuo 2.3 emphasizes physical accuracy and prompt reactivity in shorter (6-10 second) videos at Full HD. Sora 2 is better for long narrative content; Hailuo 2.3 excels in microexpression and real-time physics detail.
vs Runway Gen-4: Runway Gen-4 balances multi-scene consistency and stylized content generation suitable for creative professionals. Hailuo 2.3 outperforms in physical realism and detailed object/character interaction but offers shorter clip duration and fewer stylization options. Runway is preferred for artistic, multi-scene edits; Hailuo is ideal for photorealistic, physics-driven animation.
vs Kling 2.1: Kling 2.1 offers photorealistic video with advanced lip-syncing and extended shot capabilities targeting brand and marketing content. Hailuo 2.3 delivers enhanced micro-expressions and physical motion fidelity but supports shorter videos and less emphasis on lip-sync. Kling 2.1 is best for dialogue-heavy, branded videos; Hailuo 2.3 excels in dynamic scene and object physics.
