About

What MiniMax-H3-Lora is

MiniMax-H3 Turbo LoRA — Diffusers Diffusers / PEFT conversion of larryvrh/MiniMax-H3-Turbo-Lora: a LoRA that lets MiniMax-H3 render joint video + synchronized stereo audio in about 4 sampling steps instead of the usual ~20. This repo ships: - converted LoRA weights in Diffusers PEFT layout (transformer..loraA/B.weight) - convert.py to turn the original ComfyUI / generate.py safetensors into that layout ⚠️ Early prototype. Same caveat as the upstream release: under-trained preview weights, not production quality. They already beat the base model at 4 steps (sharper detail, cleaner / better-synced audio), but treat this as a work-in-progress taste, not a finished product. Prefer the non-EMA ckpt500 weights by default. Weights Converted from the upstream Turbo LoRA (bf16, Weff = W + loraB @ loraA, alpha = rank so scale is 1). QKV is split into toq / tok / tov, and SwiGLU fc1 halves are swapped to match Diffusers' [value; gate] layout. Ranks: attention / MLP = 64, AdaLN = 16. Keys are prefixed with transformer. for MiniMaxH3Transformer3DModel.loadloraadapter. Requirements MiniMax-H3 is not in a released Diffusers build yet. Install Diffusers from main, plus PEFT: Base weights: Diffusers-format MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-H3 (or your local conversion). Use a non-pruned DiT; pruned time-conditioning layouts are not compatible with this LoRA (same restriction as upstream). Quick start (Diffusers) Diffusers already runs dual video / audio schedules (scheduler shift 12, audioscheduler shift 3). You do not need the ComfyUI Turbo custom sampler node; a wrong single-schedule sampler is what blows up audio at 4 steps in ComfyUI. Convert from the original Turbo LoRA Original weights live in larryvrh/MiniMax-H3-Turbo-Lora (ComfyUI module names, fused qkvproj / mlp.fc1). What convert.py does: 1. Renames ComfyUI paths onto MiniMaxH3Transformer3DModel (blocks. → transformerblocks., mlp.fc → ff.net., finallayer.adalnproj → normout.linear, …). 2. Splits fused attn.qkvproj LoRA into toq / tok / tov (shared A, row-split B in [qall; kall; vall] layout). 3. Swaps mlp.fc1 LoRA halves from [gate; value] to Diffusers SwiGLU [value; gate]. 4. Writes keys with a transformer. prefix for loadloraadapte

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

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