I did not realize that cats that would do Olympic diving are so compelling -to the latest AI video rage of a new VEO 3 -rival

- Minimax’s new hailuo 02 AI video model has caused a viral trend of cats that perform Olympic dives
- The videos mix advanced physics-based animation with internet absurdity
- Although not the quality of Google VEO 3, Hailuo 2 quickly wins in popularity at Casual AI users
Looking how the cat got up the diving board, I was able to call myself to the fire brigade or a huge crowd that hurried to save it, causing a catastrophe to be caused, while the cat just blinked at the tragedy. Instead, the CAT carried out a Triple Salmersault of Olympic caliber in the swimming pool. Without the impossible achievement and my consciousness that it was a video generated by AI, I would see if there was a freaky Friday situation with the American swimming team.
Instead, it is a huge viral video produced using the Hailuo 02 model of the Chinese AI video -developer Minimax. The millions of people who watch the video of cats who dive are may not really be really, but it is really enough to shake his way into the competition for AI Video Dominance, alongside Google Veo 3 and Openi‘s Sora, among many others.
Minimax debuted Hailuo 02 earlier this summer, but the virality of the Faux Olympics video suggests that it will be a very popular tool for making stagnant images or text prompts in videos. For the time being, the model makes only five to ten-second clips, but the movement adjustment, camera effects and impressive imitation of real physics, such as the movement of fur or splashing of water, make it intriguing.
Hailuo 02 Testing on cats Diving apparently organically came about when X user RB keeper (probably not their real name) tried A prompt they had seen tested On VEO 3. The idea spread from there to a version that collected millions of views within a few hours and appeared with countless variations on Tiktok, Reddit and Instagram.
AI Video Battles

Hailuo 02 uses Frame-by-frame physics simulation, pointed-out movement prompts and multimodal input parsing. In other words, if you type a strange idea, the model will do its best to make it look and behave as it would in an approach to the real world.
In particular, Hailuo 02 is said to be much cheaper and faster than VEO 3, although perhaps without quite high-end shine. Yet it is more accessible, not limited to business services and beta programs such as VEO 3.
The cat dive videos are the top of a very specific Venn diagram of internet trends, accessible tools and low-stakes fun. You do not have to be a professional editor or have a supercomputer to try it. And more upgrades are on the horizon. Minimax has outlined plans to integrate synchronized audio, lighting and texture control, as well as longer clips.
With regard to Google Veo 3 and other major players, they now have their professional niche. But if they want to increase their appeal to the masses, they can look at some minimax and smaller developers such as Midjourney, with his V1 video modelare doing. Hailuo 02 is the type of tool that people, such as the cats, will dive into it.
