Brief

MiniMax H3 is a multimodal generator that understands text, image, audio and video jointly and produces a final 15‑second 2K clip with sound in one pass. AIFrontliner argues the real cost of AI video was paying for multiple models; Topview announced MiniMax H3’s availability (partnered with Hailuo/ MiniMax) at 30% of Seedance 2.0’s price, with Ultra Annual users receiving 60 days unlimited.

Why it matters

AIFrontliner: the core cost in AI video was paying for many separate models; MiniMax H3 instead unifies text, image, audio and video and generates the final clip (including sound) in one pass.

Key details

  • Topview (partnering with @Hailuo_AI and @MiniMax_AI) launched MiniMax H3 (native 2K, 15s clips, stronger multimodal control) and is selling it at 30% of Seedance 2.0’s price; Ultra Annual users get 60 days unlimited.
Source evidence

The cost of AI video was never really about the model. It was about how many models you had to pay for.

MiniMax H3 understands text, image, audio and video together, then generates the final clip with sound in one pass. 

Topview is one of the first platforms in the world to carry it, at 30% of Seedance 2.0's price.

It's a great time to be creating :
