MiniMax open-sources H3-Image: 16-megapixel generation in 6 steps, no upscaler needed
Hailuo_AI · x · 2026-11-10
MiniMax released MiniMax-H3-Image, an open-source unified image generation and editing model under a community license, live on Hugging Face with API and web app access.
- Single checkpoint handles text-to-image and reference-image editing, with strong instruction following that expands creative intent into concrete characters, scenes and atmosphere
- Generates 16-megapixel images directly at any aspect ratio from 4096×4096 (1:1) to 6272×2688 (21:9) — no upscaler required
- Distilled to 6 sampling steps (6 NFEs) without classifier-free guidance, keeping inference costs low
- H3-architecture DiT without audio layers, reusing the MiniMax-H3 text encoder
Available via Hugging Face, hailuoai apps, global/CN API platforms and MiniMax Code.
