The model behind the generator
What Is MiniMax H3?
MiniMax H3 is a multimodal AI video model that creates short clips from written prompts, frames, and mixed media references.
MiniMax H3 understands text, images, video, and audio together, then generates the moving picture and stereo soundtrack as one result.
Use a written prompt when you want the model to invent the scene. Add a first or last frame when composition matters. Supply reference media when a subject, product, movement, camera rhythm, visual style, or sound needs clearer direction.
A single request can combine up to 12 reference materials: as many as nine images, three video clips, or three audio files, plus a prompt of up to 7,000 characters. Results still depend on input quality and the complexity of the requested action.
For practical prompt structures and reference instructions, read the MiniMax H3 prompt guide.

Frequently asked questions
MiniMax H3 FAQ
Answers about using MiniMax H3, free credits, local deployment, open weights, model size, and generation capabilities.
How to use MiniMax H3?+
Choose Text to Video, Image to Video, or Reference in the generator above. Add your prompt and reference files, select the aspect ratio, resolution, and duration, then sign in and generate. Check the estimated credit cost before submitting.
Where to use MiniMax H3?+
You can use this browser-based generator through MiniMaxm, an independent third-party service. MiniMax also provides official access through Hailuo and its developer platform. Features and pricing vary by service.
Can I use MiniMax H3 for free?+
New MiniMaxm accounts start with 20 credits. A 5-second 2K text-to-video clip costs 20 credits; reference inputs can add to the cost. The starting balance is limited, not unlimited free generation.
Is MiniMax H3 censored?+
The official hosted workflow uses automated content moderation and may block some requests. Restrictions depend on the service and deployment. Published model weights do not mean that every hosted service is unrestricted.
Can MiniMax H3 be run locally?+
Yes. H3-Base supports local deployment. The documented full 2K workflow also uses hosted context-processing and regeneration services, so running the base model locally is not the same as running the complete official pipeline offline.
Is MiniMax H3 open source?+
H3-Base weights are available under the MiniMax H3 Community License. H3-Context-IR and H3-Regenerate-2K are not included in that release. Check the official repository and license for the components you plan to use.
How large is MiniMax H3?+
The H3-Omni-Transformer has 33 billion parameters. This describes the generation transformer, not the entire system or download size. Storage and GPU memory needs depend on the components, precision, and deployment setup.
Can MiniMax H3 generate images?+
MiniMax describes text-to-image tasks in the broader H3 training design. This website offers video generation with image inputs, not a separate still-image generation mode.
Who makes MiniMax H3?+
MiniMax develops the H3 model. MiniMaxm operates this independent third-party website and is not the model developer.
How good is MiniMax H3?+
Compare subject consistency, movement, fine text, and sound timing against the shot you need. Start with a short test before spending more credits. Complex actions, faces, and logos may require another attempt or editing.
Is this the official MiniMax website?+
No. MiniMaxm is an independent third-party experience and is not operated by MiniMax.
