MiniMax-H3 Video+Audio Model Gets MLX Port for Apple Silicon
JeremyCMorgan · x · 2026-08-07
MiniMax-H3, an omni-modal model capable of generating 15-second videos with synchronized audio, has been ported to Apple Silicon via MLX.
- Architecture: Rather than a language model, it is a 33B diffusion transformer that uses a frozen Qwen3-VL-32B encoder with separate video and audio VAEs.
- Local Execution: Weighing in at 115GB, it can be run with a single uv command. Generating a clip takes roughly 45 minutes on an M5 Max chip, proving that local video generation on laptops is quietly becoming a reality.
