What MiniMax H3 Max is, how to call it, and why we built h3max.info
MiniMax H3 landed at the end of July 2026, the open weights followed in August, and fal.ai shipped a speed-tuned build called H3 Max a few weeks later. Since then every thread about it mixes the three names up. We kept re-explaining the difference, so we put the explanation on a site: h3max.info . This post is that explanation, plus the code to generate your first clip. Three names, three…
MiniMax H3, H3 Max and H3 Max Turbo are three separate things. MiniMax H3 is the original model, H3 Max Turbo is a speed-tuned version released by fal.ai, and H3 Max is the full version. MiniMax H3 and H3 Max Turbo render 5-second 768p clips in about three seconds, faster than the clip plays, while H3 Max takes longer. H3 is multimodal, meaning it can process text, images, videos and audio and output video with audio in one pass.
Calling H3 Max is easy through fal.ai's hosted endpoints. For example, text-to-video requires prompt, aspect ratio, duration and resolution, while image-to-video requires image URL and optional end image URL. H3 Max costs per second of generated video, with Turbo at 480p being cheaper for iteration and H3 Max being faster for production.
The MiniMax H3 website, h3max.info, serves as a hub and studio for the model, providing official links, pricing, guides and pre-set scenarios for users.
