Overview
MiniMax H3 is an AI video generation workspace built around the MiniMax H3 model, released as Hailuo 3.0 in July 2026. MiniMax H3 is a 33-billion-parameter dense omni-modal transformer that reads text, images, video and audio as a single context and returns video with the sound already generated inside it.
Key Features
- Native 32 kHz stereo audio produced in the same pass as the picture, removing a separate audio stage
- 2K output reached by in-context regeneration rather than upscaling, so fine detail survives
- 4 to 15 second clips at 24 FPS across six documented aspect ratios including 16:9, 9:16 and 21:9
- Multimodal reference briefs accepting images, video clips and audio within a twelve-file ceiling
- 24 reproducible prompt recipes paired with finished video examples, ready to copy or edit
- Documented comparisons against Veo 3.1, Sora 2 and Kling 3.0 using published rate cards
Use Cases
Marketing teams produce 2K social variants with sound in one pass instead of two. Short-drama and vertical creators get dialogue and ambience without scheduling a separate audio run. Studios use the comparison tables to decide between MiniMax H3, Veo 3.1 and Sora 2 before committing budget. Developers check the 42.5 GB minimum working set and VRAM notes before attempting a local deployment, and legal teams verify the community license terms, including the four excluded territories.
Pricing
MiniMax H3 is freemium. Recurring plans start at $9.9 per month with 9,600 credits on annual billing, and hosted model generation is documented at $0.13 per second of 2K output and $0.08 at 768p.
