MiniMax H3 is MiniMax's latest video model — the company behind Hailuo, which appears to be rebranding into the H series.
It's multimodal: it accepts text, image, video, and audio as reference, and generates at up to 2K resolution.
Why this matters
- 2K output, versus Seedance 2.5's 720p.
- About US$1.20 per 10 seconds — roughly a third of the competitor's price.
- MiniMax announced it will open-source the model, which would make it the best open video generator.
1.What it accepts as input
3 minThe examples shown cover almost every production workflow that exists:
- Two images → trailer. Two references become a trailer with a narrative.
- Storyboard + logo → commercial. Storyboard and brand in, full ad out — the example is a luxury bag.
- Style reference. Red and blue panels in a comic book style turn into video with that aesthetic.
- Green screen + background. Video with a green background plus the image of the desired scene.
- Audio + image + typography → music video. A music track, a group photo, and typographic reference panels.

How we verified
We track releases straight from primary sources, transcribe what's demonstrated, check every name and number against the manufacturer's official documentation, and rewrite it in Portuguese — with what the tool no do it together, which is the part the ad leaves out.
