It's here! Introducing MiniMax H3-Image, and we're releasing the model weights!

🔥16 million pixel. 10-20 seconds. Open weights. 

Built on H3, our new image model brings together three things that matter most:
⚡ Speed: Generate stunning 4K × 4K images in 10-20 seconds.
🎨 Quality: Incredible detail and photorealism, without the typical "AI look."
🎯 Control: Strong instruction following, image editing, and support for up to 16 reference images.

We believe creators shouldn't have to choose between speed, quality, and control. And we're excited to put these capabilities into the hands of the open-source community.

Available now via our API, MCode, and Hailuo AI — with 50% off 16 million pixel+ generations during launch week!

Can't wait to see what you create. 🔥
