Made with MiniMax H3 Fast
A street dancer spins and freezes on a wet basketball court at night, puddles splashing under his sneakers, low tracking shot, crowd cheering over a bass-heavy beat
Close-up of an old fisherman on a harbour pier laughing as the first raindrops fall, warm lantern light on his weathered face; he looks up and says “Here it comes!”, gentle rain and gulls
A neon sign that reads “OPEN LATE” flickers to life above a rainy noodle-shop door, steam drifting past, slow push-in, buzzing neon hum and rain on the awning
Red silk slides in slow motion off a white marble statue in a dark studio, folds rippling and catching a single beam of light, a soft whoosh
FPV drone dive through a misty pine-forest canyon at sunrise, skimming a river and banking between the trunks, wind rushing past
A young barista slides a latte across the counter, smiles at the camera and says “One oat flat white — enjoy!”, café chatter and an espresso machine hissing
A golden retriever leaps to catch a frisbee on a sunny beach in slow motion, sand and sea spray flying, a happy bark
A white running shoe turns slowly on a glossy black pedestal as neon light sweeps across it, the word “VELOCITY” glowing on the wall behind, deep electronic pulse
Example prompts
A paper boat drifts down a rain-filled gutter at dusk, the patter of rain and a distant tram bell

Close-up of an old fisherman laughing as rain begins, warm harbour lights, he says “Here it comes!”
What it is
What is MiniMax H3 Fast?
H3, accelerated
H3 Fast runs MiniMax H3's open weights on our own GPU inference for open-source models: low-precision attention and kernels and fewer sampling steps, on GPUs that are already warm. A 6-second clip comes back in well under a minute instead of minutes.
What stays, what changes
Inputs and output shape match H3: text, a first and last frame, or up to 9 reference images, 3 clips and 3 audio tracks, with sound generated alongside the picture. It tops out at 768P (no 2K), and because the sampling is shortened, details can differ from MiniMax's own H3 API — compare them side by side below.
Not a MiniMax release
MiniMax published H3's weights; the acceleration is a third-party build and MiniMax has no price for it. The official model is MiniMax H3 — choose it when you need 2K or MiniMax's own output.
