MiniMax H3 Test: Stunning Visuals, But Still Fails at Door Logic
martinerous · reddit · 2026-08-07
Testing the MiniMax H3 video model, the author found that despite excellent generation quality, the model still has obvious shortcomings in understanding the physical world.
- Core Flaw: The model cannot accurately handle complex spatial interactions like "tracking shot: character enters the room and closes the door." Even with a dozen prompt variations and LLM expansion, the issue persisted.
- Practical Workaround: Currently, the most effective solution is using "hard cuts"—shooting outside and inside the door separately and stitching them in post. While this slows down narrative building, it remains the standard practice for current video generation models.
