Switch with one string

Both models use the same endpoint and request shape. Change the model value from "black-forest-labs/flux-video-edit" to "minimax/hailuo-3-max" and prompts, streaming and tools keep working.

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://api14.com/api/v1",
  apiKey: process.env.API14_API_KEY,
});

// Video generation is asynchronous: submit, then poll until completed.
let job = await client.post("/videos", { body: {
  "model": "minimax/hailuo-3-max",
  "prompt": "A drone shot over turquoise ocean waves at sunrise",
  "duration": 8,
  "resolution": "720p",
  "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
} });
while (!["completed", "failed"].includes(job.status)) {
  await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 5000));
  job = await client.get(`/videos/${job.id}`);
}
console.log(job.status, job.unsigned_urls);
