MiniMax H3 Reference-to-Video Model Shows Significant Quality Degradation
ThatsALovelyShirt · reddit · 2026-08-10
Users who have experimented with MiniMax H3's ref2va (reference-to-video) model noticed a substantial quality degradation under equivalent prompts and inputs.
- Quality Comparison: Users report that the ref2va model generates grainier videos with fewer details, comparing it to a 600-700 kbps bitrate versus the 3-4 mbps quality of the fl2va model.
- Unexpected Findings: Interestingly, even when forced to use reference nodes, the fl2va model incorporates references better with far superior quality, though it's slightly less coherent in following exact reference descriptions. The community is currently looking for workarounds to fix this quality hit.
