It offers two model lines — MiniMax-01 (T2V-01 text-to-video and I2V-01 image-to-video with Director/Live modes) and MiniMax S2V-01 (subject reference-to-video) — covering everything from film-grade narrative to character-driven content.

  • I2V-01-Director — Apply cinematic camera controls to image-initiated videos, combining the visual foundation of a starting image with the expressive language of Director mode
