Mini Max H3, launched July 31, 2026, is a third-generation AI video model by Chinese company Mini Max, enhancing Hailuo 2.3 with native 2K resolution, 24fps frame rate, and 15-second video generation. Designed for short-form audiovisual scenes, it integrates synchronized audio (dialogue, SFX, ambience) from text, images, or multimodal references. Key advancements include Omni-Reference for character consistency, native audio generation, and instruction-based editing.

Omni-Reference allows up to 9 images + 3 video + 3 audio clips to maintain character appearance, motion, and voice across shots. The model generates editable first cuts with audio timed during creation, reducing post-production work. Instruction editing enables refinements like color or background changes without regenerating entire clips.

Pricing starts at $0.13/second for 2K video. Compared to predecessors, H3 offers six aspect ratios, extended duration, and improved reference inputs. Access via Hailuo's website or Evo Link API. Key entities: Mini Max, Hailuo 3.0, 2K resolution, 15 seconds, Omni-Reference, $0.13/second.
