Developers & API integrators
Integrate via MiniMax API (`MiniMax-H3`), Vercel AI Gateway, fal.ai, or self-host open weights. Single architecture handles T2V, I2V, reference, and editing.
MiniMax H3 AI video model
MiniMax H3 is a general-purpose omni-modal generative system — a 33B-parameter model that understands text, images, video, and audio in unified context, generating 2K video with native stereo sound in a single forward pass.

MiniMax H3 breaks closed-source dominance with open weights, industry-leading price-performance, and a task-generalization architecture built for the open ecosystem.
Why developers choose MiniMax H3
Open-weight with community license
H3-Base weights released on Hugging Face under the MiniMax Community License — permitting commercial use for organizations under $20M revenue. Build customized versions on diverse AI hardware.
H3-Omni Transformer architecture
A 33B-parameter dense single-stream Transformer with ~20B active inference parameters. Uses Qwen3-VL-32B as encoder, 3D multimodal RoPE, and separates understanding/generation compute for 30% training throughput gain.
Contextual Omni Representation
Language acts as the bridge unifying tasks into open, descriptive form. Describe relationships between multimodal context and target video in natural language — H3 handles full-modality understanding.
In-context 2K regeneration
Instead of conventional super-resolution, H3 regenerates its own 768p output in-context at 2K — recovering fine details like small text that upscalers can't restore.
Follow these steps to start generating with MiniMax H3 using the generator on this page or the MiniMax API.
How to create with MiniMax H3
Select text-to-video for prompt-only generation, first/last-frame for image-to-video, or reference-to-video for omni-reference workflows with up to 12 mixed input files.
MiniMax H3 serves developers, studios, and creators who need open, controllable, production-grade AI video with multimodal understanding.
Who is MiniMax H3 for
Advertising & e-commerce teams
Excel at instruction following, accurate text and brand rendering, and V2V motion transfer. Built for ads, product design, UI/UX, and gaming content.
Open-source community
Fine-tune, customize, and deploy on your own hardware. Compatible with a broad range of AI accelerators — hardware compatibility was a key design consideration.
Try MiniMax H3 now
Write a prompt or attach multimodal references, and MiniMax H3 generates 2K video with native stereo audio — dialogue, SFX, and ambience in one pass.
MiniMax H3's task-generalization design delivers broad multimodal capabilities from the pretraining stage.
Technical capabilities
Unified multimodal generation
One transformer handles text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-to-video, video editing, and audio generation — no separate T2V, I2V, and TTS models stitched together.
Native 32kHz stereo audio
Joint video and audio generation in one forward pass at 32kHz stereo. Voice, sound effects, and music jointly modeled — no separation between audio domains.
4–15 second clips at 24 FPS
Output durations from 4 to 15 seconds at 24 frames per second. Aspect ratios from 2:5 to 5:2, covering widescreen cinematic to vertical social formats.
H3-VAE high compression
Completely overhauled tokenizer with across-the-board gains in reconstruction quality. 4x effective sequence length gain — key technology behind native 2K support.
Multilingual prompt support
Supports Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and more — with varying degrees of audio language support.
Industry-leading price-performance
At 2K, per-second price is less than a third of mainstream models (~0.80 CNY/sec). At 768p, less than half the price of mainstream 720p offerings.
Video editing benchmark leader
Ranked as the world's most powerful AI model in video editing on Artificial Analysis benchmarks — trailing only in pure T2V against Gemini and Seedance.
