What is MiniMax H3?
MiniMax H3 is the third generation of MiniMax's H series, released on July 31, 2026 — and it is not just a video model. H3 is a general-purpose multimodal generation model: it understands text, images, video clips and audio inside one unified context, and you describe how they relate in plain language. Ask it to borrow the camera movement from one video, put the character from an image on screen, and have them sing the vocals from an audio file — in a single prompt.
The output side is just as ambitious. H3 renders in native 2K by default — not an upscaled image, but in-context regeneration by the base model, which is why fine details like small text survive. Every generation ships with native stereo sound: music, dialogue and effects are produced jointly with the picture, not bolted on afterwards. Add native multi-shot modeling, accurate text and brand rendering, and motion transfer from reference footage, and H3 reads like a model built for commercial work — ads, e-commerce, product and UI films. MiniMax has also announced plans to open the model weights.

One context in. One film out.
This is MiniMax's own flagship example. Three assets — a camera-movement reference, a character image and a vocal recording — plus one sentence describing how they fit together. H3 reads them as a single context and delivers the finished, singing shot.
The prompt
Reference the Hitchcock camera movement from Video 1, have the character in Image 2 sing, with the vocals matching Audio 3.
What makes H3 different
Six capabilities that separate H3 from single-task video models.
One unified context
Text, images, video and audio live in the same context window. You describe relationships in natural language instead of wiring up fixed task modes.
Native 2K, no upscaler
2K output comes from in-context regeneration by the base model, not a super-resolution pass — small text and fine detail stay legible.
Stereo sound in one pass
Music, dialogue, foley and ambience are generated together with the picture. Every take arrives with a native stereo mix.
Native multi-shot
Cuts and shot changes are modeled inside the clip itself, keeping characters and style coherent across shots.
9 + 3 + 3 references
Up to 9 reference images, 3 video clips and 3 audio tracks in one request — characters, motion and voices stay consistent.
Built for brand work
Strong instruction following, accurate text and brand rendering, and V2V motion transfer — aimed squarely at ads, e-commerce, product and UI films.
