About

What MiniMax-H3 is

MiniMax H3 (GGUF Quantizations) This repository (Abiray/MiniMax-H3-GGUF) provides GGUF quantized versions and necessary component files for the MiniMax H3 model. MiniMax H3 is a general-purpose, omni-modal generative system that supports unified understanding of multimodal contexts composed of text, images, video, and audio. It can generate video with native stereo audio at resolutions up to 2K and durations of up to 15 seconds. 📌 Note: Pruned Versions for Consumer GPUs If you are looking for a smaller model with the same great quality that fits better on consumer-tier GPUs, please check out the MiniMax-H3-Pruned-GGUF repository. The pruned architecture is compressed down to 8.9 GB – 21.6 GB, bringing MiniMax H3 execution directly to consumer hardware. Available Pruned Quants: Repository Contents UNet Models (GGUF) This repository includes quantized versions of both the FL2VA (First-and-last-frame mode) and Ref2VA (Omni-reference mode) base models.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys abiray-minimax-h3 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (abiray-minimax-h3 below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/videos/generations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"abiray-minimax-h3","prompt":"a drone shot over a forest"}'
