Core Facts
MiniMax H3 is a multimodal video generation model capable of simultaneously generating video frames and matching audio (including dialogue, sound effects, and ambient sound).
Prompt Studio can generate structured MiniMax H3 video scripts.
H3 Minimax is Minimax's video generation engine, which adopts a Sparse Attention mechanism.
Timeline (last 90 days)
According to earlier reporting by Reuters, the Pro version model that MiniMax is developing may have 2.7 trillion parameters.
In a test to create a landing page for a hardware device launch, MiniMax spent only 1 cent to complete it, while Opus 5 required $1.22, making it nearly 88 times cheaper and also 4 times faster.
In a comparison test recreating a Tesla Roadster police car chase scene, MiniMax spent $2.34 to complete the task and DeepSeek spent about $3.07, making MiniMax about 24% cheaper.
MiniMax has open-sourced Mcode Stack, the workflow the MiniMax Code team uses daily, covering code review, sub-agent splitting, context budgeting and long-running tasks; the repository uses the MIT license and does not include the source code of MiniMax Code itself.
MiniMax open-sourced Mcode Stack, disclosing the agent workflows and skill collection its development team uses daily, including project review, context management and palm-task handling, but the repository does not contain the original code of MiniMax Code.
