fal makes MiniMax's open-source video model H3 35x faster, GPU utilization hits 70-80%
astrange · x · 2026-09-18
fal engineers rebuilt MiniMax's open-source H3 video model: fewer steps and rewritten stage code pushed GPU utilization from 30-40% to 70-80% of theoretical ceiling with no quality loss — 35x faster, generating video faster than you can film it.
Key points:
- Director mode and voice prompting let users move the camera and guide action live
- Speed and cost are no longer the pain point; quality and prompt-following are the new frontier
- Hollywood, absent a year ago, is now seriously engaging with generative video
