MiniMax's Ryan Lee shared open-source results for H3: released at 28 steps, the community then began optimizing it. After 11,850 votes in the H3 Acceleration Arena, several accelerated versions are statistically in the top group, with the current highest point estimate from @larryvrh's 6-step H3 Turbo v4 — a 28→6 step reduction driven by an ecosystem rather than one team, which the author cites as the payoff of open-weighting H3.
