Hosted MCP remains beta.\n\n**MiniMax Video API.** 2K with stereo audio at $0.13 a second, 768P at $0.08. No statement found on whether API inputs train models, and the privacy policy needs a browser.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### HyperFrames\n\n1. Use the local CLI when project access and repeatable rendering matter.\n2. Preview the composition and check assets before rendering.\n3. Confirm account eligibility and credit cost before using the hosted beta.\n\n### MiniMax Video API\n\n1. Use POST /v2/video_generation for H3 and poll GET /v2/query/video_generation/{task_id}. Tasks stay queryable for 7 days\n2. Set `ratio` for text-to-video. `adaptive` isn't allowed there\n3. Pass `callback_url` to skip polling. Your endpoint must echo the `challenge` within 3 seconds\n4. A 402 means the balance is empty and a 422 means moderation blocked the content. Don't retry either unchanged\n5. Keep at most 30 H3 tasks in flight and 300 requests a minute. Hailuo on V1 allows 20 a minute\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, HyperFrames or MiniMax Video API?\n\nMiniMax Video API scores 61 (C) on agent readiness against HyperFrames's 39.1 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Can an agent call HyperFrames and MiniMax Video API without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for HyperFrames.
