MiniMax H3
MiniMax · 33B dense
Omni-modal generation at 33B
MiniMax’s omni-modal generation model open-sourced in August 2026: 33B, community licence, generation 96, Chinese 86, ecosystem 84 and a composite of 68.1. It covers video, audio and image generation, but understanding is weak (documents 65, agents 40), making it a creative tool rather than an analysis model.

Public scores come from different versions and prompts and are not interchangeable with our composite; they are one evidence input.
Scenario mapping
five stress tests, one scale| Scenario | Score | Observation |
|---|---|---|
| Short-video generation | 96 · High generation quality | |
| Audio generation | 92 · Usable voiceover and effects | |
| Image generation | 90 · Strong stylisation | |
| 30-min video QA | 70 · Not an understanding model | |
| Chinese cultural context | 86 · Good Chinese prompts |
Strengths and limitations
Strengths
- Generation 96 across video, audio and images is rare among open weights.
- A 33B dense model costs less to deploy than 100B-class generators.
- Chinese 86 keeps Chinese prompts and voiceover natural.
Limitations
- Documents 65 and agents 40: neither understanding nor automation applies.
- The MiniMax community licence is not OSI open source; check before commercial use.
- Video 70: long-form narrative and consistency still trail the Wan family.
