MiniMax-Music-3 GGUF Quantizations This repository contains GGUF quantizations for the diffusion transformer / DiT backbone of MiniMax-Music3, a state-of-the-art text-to-music model capable of generating structured, full-length songs up to 5 minutes long at 32 kHz stereo. These quantized weights enable running MiniMax-Music-3 locally inside ComfyUI using the ComfyUI-GGUF custom node with significantly lower VRAM requirements. 📦 Quantized Files & Recommendations 🧩 Required Companion Files The GGUF files in this repository replace only the diffusion transformer (DiT). To generate music in ComfyUI, you will also need the text encoder and VAE models provided by Comfy-Org: Text Encoders: Comfy-Org/MiniMax-Music-3 Text Encoders VAE: Comfy-Org/MiniMax-Music-3 VAE 📂 ComfyUI File Placement Place the downloaded files into their respective folders in your ComfyUI installation: 🚀 How to Use in ComfyUI 1.

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys abiray-minimax-music3 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (abiray-minimax-music3 below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/audio/transcriptions \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \ -F model="abiray-minimax-music3" -F file=@audio.mp3
