MiniMax H3
33B open-weight omni-modal video model with native stereo audio generation.
About
MiniMax H3 launched July 31, 2026 as a general-purpose omni-modal video model: it reads text, image, video, and audio as one unified context and generates video with native stereo sound. It produces 4-15 second clips at 768p (2K via the hosted API) and ranked #1 in video editing with audio on Artificial Analysis.
The open weights shipped under a MiniMax Community License that excludes the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, and South Korea from local deployment, and requires written authorization above $20M annual revenue. It marks MiniMax's pivot from closed Hailuo video models to the open-weights distribution playbook.
