MiniMax H3 and fal turn video generation into a live prompt loop News
MiniMax H3 produces short video with native stereo sound, while fal's H3 Max Director API is built for continuous real-time streams with live prompts—together enabling an interactive broadcast format where the next scene can be steered while viewers watch.
MiniMax put its video-with-sound model on Hugging Face News
MiniMax released the weights for H3, a multimodal generation model that produces video with native stereo audio, two weeks after promising them at launch, and it has already been downloaded more than two million times.
MiniMax released a five-minute song model with a catch in the licence News
MiniMax published the weights for Music 3, a model that generates complete five-minute songs with vocals in 32 kHz stereo, under a licence that permits commercial use but requires on-screen credit and written permission above $20 million in revenue.
The open video model tops out at fifteen seconds, not twenty-six News
MiniMax's H3 weights have drawn 2,900 stars in four days, but the company's own repository caps a single generation at fifteen seconds and says the hosted component it left out is critical to output quality.
MiniMax Shipped H3's Weights and Kept the Best Part Hosted News
MiniMax released the weights for its H3 video-and-audio generation model, and its own model card says the input-processing stage that is critical to output quality is not included in the release and the 2K output stage is not open-sourced at all.
llama.cpp Merges MiniMax M3's Sparse Attention, Because Running It Dense Gives Wrong Answers News
Support for MiniMax M3's block-sparse attention landed in llama.cpp today, and the contributor is explicit that it is not a speed optimisation: the model was trained sparse, so running it dense produces degraded output.
Suddenly, downloadable AI models look like an insurance policy News
With a top hosted model pulled overnight, a flood of powerful open models you can run yourself -- and run fast -- is being reframed from hobby to risk management.
h3-studio Tool
Local front end for MiniMax H3 built on ComfyUI 0.30.0 or newer, with a VRAM meter, idle GPU release and a service setup so the video model hands the card back to other workloads. Its notes document H3 needing roughly 15.5 GB in the NVFP4 build, which is the practical ceiling on a 16 GB card.
MiniMax Music 3.0 Tool
Production music model that takes a creative concept and optional lyrics and composes, arranges, performs and produces a complete song in a single generation, with instrumental-only support. Callable through MiniMax's platform API as model music-3.0, with open weights also published.
MiniMax Music 3 Tool
Open-weight model that generates complete five-minute songs with vocals in 32 kHz stereo from lyrics plus a structured style description. Runs via SGLang-Omni, Diffusers, or ComfyUI. Commercial use allowed with on-screen attribution; written permission required above $20M revenue.
MiniMax H3 GitHub Tool
Official repository for running H3 locally, including inference code and MiniMax's own prompt-writing skills for getting usable results out of the multimodal context format.
Hailuo AI Video Tool
MiniMax's hosted front end for H3, for trying the model in a browser before downloading tens of gigabytes of weights. Supports text-to-video, image-to-video, first-and-last-frame and reference-to-video workflows.
