MiniMax Releases Multimodal Model H3 with 2K Native Stereo Video

MiniMax has officially released H3, an omni-modal generative model that unifies the understanding and generation of text, images, video, and audio. Its core breakthrough lies in native dual-channel audio output, capable of generating up to 15 seconds of 2K resolution video with commercial-grade visual quality and instruction-following capabilities.

Confirmed

Multimodal and Output Specs: H3 supports multimodal context understanding and can directly output videos featuring native stereo sound at up to 15 seconds long with 2K resolution.
12-Asset Reference: Allows users to combine up to 9 images, 3 video clips, and 3 audio clips as references to precisely lock in character appearance, motion trajectories, and audio characteristics.
Commercial-Grade Capabilities: Performs exceptionally well in precise text and brand information rendering, as well as V2V Motion Transfer, meeting commercial viability standards.
Platform and Pricing: The model is now available on the fal platform. According to author @赛博禅心, its API price is less than a third of mainstream models.

Why It Matters

The release of H3 marks a further maturation of multimodal integration in video generation models. The combination of native stereo audio and high-quality 2K visuals, paired with granular multi-asset reference controls, significantly lowers the barrier to entry for commercial video production. Meanwhile, its highly competitive pricing strategy positions it to rapidly capture market share in the current AI video generation landscape.
