Under the gaze of a packed audience, a gymnast gracefully completes a hop-step move, and then… suddenly performs a ballet on a wooden beam?!!

This isn’t some stunt from a live-action sports movie like Prince of Tennis or Haikyuu—

The scene above was entirely generated by AI.

That’s right, this time the MiniMax video generation model update has truly tackled the age-old challenge of “gymnastics” in AI video generation!

You should know that even Google’s much-hyped Veo 3 recently stumbled on this challenge, prompting netizens to exclaim:

Gymnastics is the Turing test for video generation models.

After six months of development, MiniMax’s Hailuo 02 video model finally launched last night!

To be honest, the video results don’t even look AI-generated! But to judge its true capabilities, we got our hands on an internal testing slot today to put Hailuo 02 to the test and see if it’s truly the “king returning to the palace”!
