What is MiniMax H3?
MiniMax H3 (also called Hailuo 3) is MiniMax's open-weight, general-purpose multimodal video model, released on July 31, 2026. It reads text, images, video and audio as one context and generates video with native stereo sound: 4 to 15 seconds at 24 fps, up to 2K.
Its weights are public, but the full 33-billion-parameter model is heavy to run yourself. This site runs MiniMax H3 and its faster variant, H3 Max, in the cloud: write a prompt, add a first or last frame, or give it reference images, clips and audio, then download the MP4.
MiniMax H3 AI is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by MiniMax. MiniMax, Hailuo and MiniMax H3 are trademarks of their owners.

What you can make
One model for prompts, pictures and references, with the sound made in the same pass.
Up to 2K
H3 renders at 768P and regenerates the clip in context to 2K instead of running a separate upscaler, so faces, fabric and small text stay coherent.
Native stereo sound
Dialogue, singing, effects, ambience and music are generated with the picture in 32 kHz stereo and timed to the action. No separate audio step.
Up to 15 seconds, multi-shot
4 to 15 seconds at 24 fps — long enough for several cuts in one clip.
First and last frame
Start from your image, end on another, and describe what happens in between.
Reference images, clips and audio
Up to 9 images, 3 clips and 3 audio files (12 in total) guide the character, style, motion or voice. Name them Image 1, Video 1 in the prompt.
Fast drafts with H3 Max
The fast variant renders 480P–1080P in about a minute, for trying ideas cheaply.
How it works
Three steps, a couple of minutes, no GPU.
- 01
Describe the shot
Say what happens: subject, action, camera, light and sound. Or start from an example.
- 02
Add pictures or references
Optional: a first or last frame, or reference images, clips and audio to follow.
- 03
Generate and download
Pick the model, resolution and length, see the price, and download the MP4 when it's ready.

MiniMax H3 questions
MiniMax H3 (also called Hailuo 3) is MiniMax's open-weight multimodal video model. It generates 4 to 15 seconds of video with native stereo sound from text, images, clips and audio. MiniMax H3 AI runs it, and its faster variant H3 Max, in the browser.
No. MiniMax H3 AI is an independent site that runs MiniMax H3 and H3 Max. MiniMax's own app is Hailuo AI.
Every video uses credits, because each render costs real compute. The smallest pack is 300 credits for $9.99, and a 5-second MiniMax H3 Max clip is 30 credits. Failed renders cost nothing.
You pay per second: from 6 credits a second (MiniMax H3 Max, 480P) up to 14 a second (MiniMax H3, 2K). The form shows the exact total before you generate.
H3 Max is the fast variant: 480P to 1080P, 5 to 15 seconds, usually ready in about a minute. H3 is the flagship with native 2K and 4 to 15 seconds. Both take text, frames and references.
Up to 15 seconds. H3 starts at 4 seconds and H3 Max at 5.
Yes. H3 generates voice, effects and ambience together with the picture, timed to the action. Describe the sound you want in the prompt.
Yes. Choose Image, add a first frame (and optionally a last frame), and describe what happens. The video takes the shape of your first image.
Files the model follows for a character, style, motion or voice without using them as frames: up to 9 images, 3 clips and 3 audio files, 12 files in total. Clips are 2 to 15 seconds each and 15 seconds in total; audio needs at least one image or clip.
Its weights are public on Hugging Face under the MiniMax H3 Community License, which sets its own terms of use — read it before you build on the weights. Using H3 on MiniMax H3 AI needs neither the weights nor a GPU.
Yes, with ComfyUI, diffusers, SGLang or vLLM, but it's a 33-billion-parameter model: MiniMax's own server example uses 4 GPUs, and community quantized (GGUF) builds report around 16 GB of VRAM as a starting point, with lower quality. If you'd rather skip the setup, MiniMax H3 AI runs the full model in the cloud and you pay per second of video.
Describe one timeline in order: the subject and action, the camera move (push in, pan, arc shot, tracking shot), the light, then the sound — spoken lines word for word, plus ambience and music. Our prompt guide has copy-ready examples.
Your credits go back to your balance automatically. Requests the provider rejects, for example for content, are not charged either.
Yes, the videos you make are yours to use, as long as your prompt and files don't infringe anyone's rights. See the terms for details.
They're used only to make your video and deleted 30 days later. Finished videos stay in your history until you delete your account.
