MiniMax H3
MiniMax has started rolling out Hailuo H3, the next generation of its video model. It's more than an upgrade to Hailuo 2.3, combining video generation, directing, and audio in one system. H3 supports text-to-video, image-to-video, multi-scene generation, character consistency from reference images, and prompt-based editing.
The only catch is that the official MiniMax website still lists Hailuo 2.3 as the public model, suggesting H3 is being released through partners and selected users.
H3 generates 5–15 second videos in native 2K at 24 FPS with synchronized audio. It accepts text prompts, a starting or ending frame, up to nine images, three video references, and three audio files. Multi-shot scenes and consistent characters are supported.
The motion quality looks impressive.
Official pricing hasn't been announced, but one statement claims:
"It uses the same amount of consumption as Seedance 2.0's 480p at 2K resolution."
If true, 2K generation in H3 costs about the same as 480p in Seedance 2.0.
