Post-trained for adherence
H3 Max is a tuned H3: stronger prompt adherence, better aesthetics, and inference co-optimised with the serving stack rather than bolted on afterwards.

MiniMax H3 Max
Speed-optimised H3 variant. A post-trained H3 built for turnaround: 768p with native audio, a five-second clip in under three seconds, and stronger prompt adherence than the base model.

Features
What MiniMax H3 Max does differently.
Sub-three-second renders
A five-second clip at 768p comes back in under three seconds, which is the difference between iterating on a shot and queueing one.
Native audio in the same pass
Sound is generated with the video rather than dubbed on top, so effects and ambience sit on the action without a second step.
Cheap enough to iterate
768p output and sub-three-second turnaround make it the tier to explore framing on, before committing a shot to a higher-resolution model.
Pick the right H3 for the job
Use base MiniMax H3 when you need 2K, references or localised editing; use H3 Max when speed and prompt adherence matter more than resolution.

H3 Max is the lowest-cost way to draft a shot in our catalogue, and its speed means a rejected take costs little more than the time to look at it. Credits come from one shared balance across image, video and speech, and the exact estimate is shown in the Studio before you generate.
Built for
- Rapid iteration where speed matters more than resolution
- Prompt-driven work that needs tighter adherence than base H3
- Animating product and portrait stills for social formats
- Volume drafting before committing a final shot to a 2K model
