A developer compared self-hosted MiniMax H3 with fal.ai's H3 Max for video generation. Using a rented Nebius H200 GPU with NVIDIA Sol-Attn optimizations, the self-hosted H3 in 'draft' mode renders extremely cheaply ($0.03, 13s), while H3 Max is faster and higher quality but much more costly. The post details performance under identical prompts, noting that cheap draft iterations open new possibilities.
