MHMiniMax H3MiniMaxUnverified

Multimodal video generator with 2K output up to 15 seconds, about half the cost of Seedance 2.5 and API already available. Best at music videos synced to the beat and text-overlay effects, but failed to follow the 3D fight reference. Open-source release was planned, reportedly runnable on an RTX 3090 when quantized.
