Pricing
MiniMax prices H3 by the second of generated video, with 2K as the default resolution, but the launch post gives no exact rate. It only says the 2K per-second price is under a third of mainstream models, and the 768p price is under half of mainstream 720p. Official source 1 ↗

What it does

MiniMax H3 is MiniMax’s general-purpose multimodal video generation model, launched on July 31, 2026. It takes text, images, video and audio as context and generates video with native stereo sound, up to 15 seconds at 2K resolution. One model covers generation, reference-based creation and editing, including V2V motion transfer. MiniMax positions it for commercial content such as advertising, branding, e-commerce, product design, UI/UX and gaming.

Features

  • Multimodal context in, video out. Combine text, images, video clips and audio in one prompt and describe in plain language how they relate to the target shot, such as reusing a camera move from one clip and a character from an image. Official source 1 ↗
  • 2K video with native stereo sound. Generates clips of up to 15 seconds at 2K by default, with jointly generated stereo audio and native multi-shot modelling. Official source 1 ↗
  • Voice, sound effects and music together. Audio is modelled jointly rather than split into separate voice, sound-effect and music models. Official source 1 ↗
  • Reference-based generation and editing. Supports image-to-image, image-to-video, audio-to-audio and audio-video reference and editing, including V2V motion transfer. Official source 1 ↗
  • Accurate text and brand rendering. MiniMax reports strong instruction following and accurate text and brand rendering. In-context regeneration recovers small text and fine detail at 2K instead of relying on a separate upscaler. Official source 1 ↗

  • Known room for improvement. MiniMax says multimodal understanding, visual detail in some scenarios and capabilities limited by the current model size still need work. Official source 1 ↗
