It supports unified understanding of multimodal contexts composed of text, images, video, and audio, and can generate video with native stereo audio at resolutions up to 2K and durations of up to 15 seconds. Thanks to its task-generalization-oriented system design, H3 already possesses broad multimodal context understanding and generation capabilities at the pre-training stage, enabling outstanding performance in following complex multimodal instructions. H3 supports the following input and output specifications: Model Variants and Input Specifications The complete H3 system consists of the following three modules: - H3-Context-IR: As inputs become increasingly complex, we build a dedicated system to deeply understand and refine the input multimodal instructions, then convert them into a form that H3 can readily understand—the Context Intermediate Representation—for generation. H3-Context-IR is critical to the quality of the final output, so we strongly recommend incorporating it into your generation pipeline or following the “Prompting Guidance” to build your own context-processing system. - H3-Base: Generates audio and video based on the H3-Context-IR output, producing results at 768p resolution. - H3-Regenerate-2K: Feeds the 768p result together with the original context back into H3 to regenerate the output at 2K resolution. This process leverages both H3’s powerful generative capabilities and the rich information contained in the original context, enabling it to produce high-resolution outputs with more accurate details and greater visual fidelity. Model Architecture H3\-Context\-IR H3\-Context\-IR is a hosted preprocessing and orchestration system designed for free\-form multimodal inputs\. It interprets the relationships among text, images

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys fkyyy-minimax-h3 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (fkyyy-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":"fkyyy-minimax-h3","prompt":"a drone shot over a forest"}'

Licence
The weights are open but its licence needs a commercial agreement for business use. AxForge can arrange that licence and host the model for you — you pay AxForge, we settle with the model’s maker. Ask us for a quote. Read the licence ↗
