tl;dr: MiniMax released H3, an open-weights video model with day-zero ComfyUI support that generates up to 2K, 15-second clips with native stereo audio from text, image, video, or audio inputs. It supports text-to-video, image-to-video, first/last-frame control, and reference-to-video (including motion transfer). Through pruning modulation weights into a lookup table, int8 quantization, and custom kernels, ComfyUI shrunk the footprint 66% (123.6GB → 42.5GB), enabling it to run on a RTX 3060.
HN Discussion:
  • Impressed by the model quality and technical achievements showcased in the release
  • Curious skepticism about the pruning/lookup table technique and its broader applicability
  • Sharing hands-on experience running the model locally with mixed performance results
  • ~Critical of the aesthetic output as bland or generic despite technical impressiveness
  • Questioning practical performance details like generation time on consumer hardware
