- **Capabilities**: text-to-video, image-to-video, camera movement instructions

## API Call Format
```bash
curl -s https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENROUTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "minimax/hailuo-2.3:free",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Generate a video of: <detailed description>"}]
  }'
```

## Camera Movement
