MiniMax H3 — the next-generation video model in MiniMax's Hailuo family — is now live on EvoLink as three routes, with 2K output and per-second billing.
MiniMax H3
- Model IDs:
minimax-h3-text-to-video,minimax-h3-image-to-video,minimax-h3-reference-to-video - Output: 2K MP4, 4–15 seconds. Aspect ratio 21:9 / 16:9 / 4:3 / 1:1 / 3:4 / 9:16 — text-to-video needs an explicit ratio (defaults to 16:9), reference-to-video also accepts adaptive
- Pricing: $0.130 per output second at 2K, same rate on all three routes; minimum charge equals the cheapest valid request (2K × 4s)
- Image-to-video: send a first frame, a last frame, or both. This route does not support choosing an aspect ratio — the output always follows the input image proportions
- Reference-to-video: up to 9 reference images, 3 reference videos (15s total) and 3 audio tracks (15s total); reference audio can be the only reference input
- Reference video billing: reference video seconds are added to the output duration — a 5s clip with a 3s reference video is billed as 8s. Reference images and audio add no billable seconds
- Input image billing: the first 5 input images of a request are included; billing starts from the 6th image at $0.04 per image on top of the per-second cost. The minimum charge applies to the per-second part only
- Async tasks: submit, then poll status or use
