About

MiniMax Music 3 (listed by MiniMax as Music 3.0) is an open-weights music generation model. It takes a text style prompt and structured lyrics and produces full songs with vocals, covering multiple genres and languages. MiniMax describes it as a production-ready, versatile music model.

According to creator reports, the full model is about 9.8 GB, with an int8 version intended for lower-end GPUs and a smallest quantized version of about 2.5 GB. It can be run locally in ComfyUI, and ComfyUI has a tutorial page for it. One reviewer measured about 3-4 minutes to generate a 1-minute song on a 16 GB VRAM GPU.

Reviewers note that quality is below the latest Suno models and that the model currently supports text-to-music only. It is aimed at users who want local or self-hosted music generation rather than a hosted service. The license terms were not stated in the provided material.
