MiniMax Timeline: Every Model and Product Update

After its weights were opened, H3 became a base model for video companies and NVIDIA researchers.

Pika released two LoRA adapters and inference code that cut MiniMax H3's 50 denoising steps down to 6.

Open-H3-Regenerate-2K has open weights and can replace MiniMax's official 2K regeneration module, which is API-only.

GitLab Duo Agent Platform now offers hosted open-weight models Kimi K3, MiniMax M3 and GLM 5.3, which GitLab says allow up to 4x more calls per credit. The same release adds a goal-driven /goal command to Duo CLI (Chinese-language source).

M3.1 Flash launched on October 19 and its weights opened on October 23. Together AI is offering hosted inference, and vLLM shipped dedicated kernels for Blackwell, Rubin and MI350 on day 0.

The tutorial covers using one runtime to coordinate several models in live voice conversations. MiniMax does not say it uses SGLang-Omni.

MiniMax's faster, cheaper M3.1 Flash scores 13 points higher than M3 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, and MiniMax says agent tasks now cost 70% less.

The new text model lands in MiniMax's own coding platform, with every user's Token Plan quota reset.

Pruna AI packages the open-weight MiniMax H3 into a commercial endpoint billed per output second across four tiers.

QbitAI reports that RunningHub's H3 Lightning cut a 5-second video render on four RTX 6000D cards from 348.8 to 28.7 seconds while keeping BF16 precision. (Chinese-language source)

Public InferenceX numbers put MXFP8 serving at 3.14x the day-0 result at concurrency 32.

The September 11 event covers how Japanese IP is used, protected and commercialized in generative AI, with a keynote slot for the H3 model.

NVIDIA Research built the Sol-H3 inference stack for MiniMax's open-weight H3: a five-second audio-synced clip in 1.653 seconds; the code is Apache 2.0, but the weights keep a community license with temporary restrictions in the US, EU, UK and South Korea.

A sovereign AI project takes Chinese open weights as its starting point: HUMAIN's Arabic frontier model sits on MiniMax's open MoE stack.

vLLM's official blog says system-wide optimization plus FastVideo's four-step FastH3 lets MiniMax H3 generate faster than playback.

Chinese-language source. In a Reddit AMA the MiniMax H3 team said the model behind online 2K output "will be released, and not too long," and an image model is on the way.

MiniMax releases weights for its 33B video model H3, which ranks first in Video Editing on a third-party leaderboard.

A QbitAI hands-on says MiniMax H3 integrates editing, subtitle typography, transitions, pacing, background music and visual effects end-to-end into the model, and reports it topping Artificial Analysis's video-editing leaderboard.
