MiniMax H3
MiniMax H3 is MiniMax’s omni-modal video model, released July 2026. One endpoint takes text, images, video and audio as input and renders a finished clip with its own audio track in a single pass — no separate scoring step.
Three modes share the endpoint; what you send decides which one runs:
- Text to video —
promptonly - Image to video —
image_urls, orfirst_frame_image/last_frame_imagefor an explicit first/last frame - Reference to video —
video_urls(camera work and style) oraudio_urls(rhythm and score)
task_id; poll task status until completed.
Pricing
Prices are not listed here — they follow upstream changes, and anything written into the docs drifts out of date.Live prices: the “Model Market” in the console, or the
GET /v1/models endpoint (see Models).
What a call actually cost: every response carries cost / usage.cost — that is the authoritative number.Available models
Billed by resolution × duration;
2k costs more. A reference video (video_urls) is billed at 2× the unit price — the upstream charges input-video seconds plus output seconds, and this is an interim approximation; minimax-h3-regeneration’s unit price already includes the input, so it is not doubled. The first 5 reference images are free; beyond that the upstream charges per image, which we currently do not pass on.
Examples
Parameters
string
required
Always
minimax-h3string
required
What the shot should show. Write it even when you supply references — the references say what it looks like, the prompt says what happens
string
default:"768p"
768p / 2kinteger
default:"5"
Any integer from 4 to 15 seconds
string[]
Reference images, or the opening frame. Publicly reachable image URLs
string
First-frame image URL
string
Last-frame image URL; pair with
first_frame_image for an A-to-B transitionstring[]
Reference video — supplies camera movement, pacing and style
string[]
Reference audio — shapes the rhythm and score of the result
Image mode and reference mode are mutually exclusive. First/last frames (
first_frame_image / last_frame_image) cannot be combined with reference media (video_urls / audio_urls) in one request — upstream treats them as two different generation modes.Limits
