Hoodfu · reddit · 2026-07-31
MiniMax has officially launched H3, a general-purpose multimodal generation model. H3 understands unified context across text, images, video, and audio, capable of generating 15-second 2K resolution videos with native stereo sound.
Key Highlights:
- Commercial Ready: Excels at instruction following, accurate text/brand rendering, and V2V motion transfer, making it ideal for advertising, e-commerce, and gaming.
- Unmatched Pricing: Offers 2K resolution by default at less than a third of the per-second price of mainstream models. Its 768p tier is also less than half the price of competitors' 720p.
- Open-Source Plan: To challenge closed-source dominance and broaden AI hardware compatibility, MiniMax plans to open-source the model weights in the coming days.
