MiniMax2026-08-10 09:52:26MiniMax H3 Opens Weights and Overtakes Seedance 2.0 on Key Video BenchmarksMiniMax released the weights for its omni-modal video model H3 on August 3, posting them on Hugging Face. The model can generate 2K, 24fps video with stereo audio, and it moved ahead of ByteDance’s Seedance 2.0 in the Artificial Analysis text-to-video ranking while taking first place in video editing. Pricing also came in lower: a 5-second clip costs about $0.70 for H3’s 2K output versus roughly $1.22 for Seedance 2.0’s 720p output. Community tests also showed the model running offline on consumer GPUs with 12GB of VRAM. The open-weight release, however, stops at 768p; 2K output still depends on a non-open API-side upsampling module, and the Community License carries regional and usage limits.830
