What this model does well

  • 🎬

    Six aspect ratios

    4 to 15 seconds, 21:9 through 9:16

  • 🖼️

    First and last frame

    Start from a first frame, a last frame, or both

  • 🎯

    Reference inputs

    Reference images, videos and audio guide the result

Good to know

  • Sound arrives with the clip, and you cannot ask for it or turn it off: MiniMax exposes no audio parameter. Measured 2026-11-04 — Highspeed produced a continuous ambience, Lite only faint bursts. Treat the audio as a bonus, not a deliverable.
  • No seed and no negative prompt: MiniMax takes neither, so the same prompt will not give you the same clip twice.
  • Generation is a job, not a request — you poll for the result.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pay with mobile money, without a bank card?

Yes. Top up your Tchavi account with Orange Money, MTN MoMo, M-Pesa or another mobile money operator. No bank card is needed. Credits land as soon as the payment is confirmed and are deducted as you use them.

Is the API compatible with OpenAI's?

Yes. Keep your current OpenAI SDK, just change the base URL to Tchavi's (shown in the API tab) and use your Tchavi key. The rest of your code stays the same.

API

  "prompt": "A cinematic shot of a cat astronaut floating in space",
  "resolution": "480p",
  "duration": 5,
  "aspect_ratio": "16:9",
  "generate_audio": true
});

console.log('Job id:', job.id);
console.log('Credits used:', job.tchavi.credits_used);

// Poll for completion
let result = await client.videos.generations.retrieve(job.id);
while (result.status === 'pending' || result.status === 'processing') {
  await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 2000));
  result = await client.videos.generations.retrieve(job.id);
}
console.log('Video URL:', result.output?.video_url);
