Analysis: Minimax H3 Distortion Fix Unlikely Soon
Radyschen · reddit · 2026-08-19
A Reddit user analyzes Minimax's official response regarding the facial distortion issues in the H3 model, suggesting that a quick fix is unlikely:
- Root Cause: The company attributes the issue to complex system-level factors involving multiple model components, not just VAE compression, with no simple fix identified yet.
- 2K Model: Planned to be open-sourced, but efficiency and quality improvements are still ongoing with no set release date.
- Image Model: Expected to be released to the community, but the wording is less definitive.
The author advises against expecting an immediate fix, particularly one with open weights.
