## Summary

DesignArena says MiniMax's H3-Image, a 33.1B-parameter open-weight image model, is now available on its platform. The model makes images up to 4096 × 4096 without upscaling, takes up to 16 reference images, and costs about 2 cents per image on MiniMax's API. In DesignArena's test against Qwen Image Edit, H3-Image kept the original framing and shifted the scene to twilight with a lamp, while Qwen cropped closer and changed the buildings outside.

MiniMax H3-Image by @MiniMax_AI is now available on DesignArena!

H3-Image is MiniMax's new open-weight model for making and editing images, with better prompt following and more precise editing. It's a 33.1B-parameter model that makes images up to 4K (4096 × 4096) without upscaling, takes up to 16 reference images, and costs about 2 cents an image on MiniMax's API.

To test its editing, we gave H3-Image and Qwen Image Edit, another open-weight editor by @Alibaba_Qwen, an image of a workshop with paper models on a desk, and asked both to make it late evening with a brass desk lamp lighting the models.

H3-Image turns the daylight to twilight blue and lights the desk with a lamp on a long brass arm. The shot stays as wide as the original, and the buildings outside the windows stay the same. Qwen Image Edit also adds a brass lamp, but it crops in closer and swaps the buildings outside for taller ones.

Congrats to the @MiniMax_AI team on the launch!
