Minimax H3 Max: The Fastest model for on-brand execution

• —H3 Max is the fastest model we've tested, averaging 9.2 seconds per generation, up to 29.8x faster than Seedance 2.0, while slightly edging it out by a slim margin. It now ranks 2nd overall on our Cinema Video leaderboard.
• —H3 Max is also great at executing based on an established direction. It wins 59.5% of comparisons in Mockup and 56.8% in Refinement, when it starts from an approved frame.
• —The Ideation stage, where H3 Max has to Ideation from the prompt alone is where it suffers slightly winning 43.8% of pairwise battles.
• —Expert video creators picked H3 Max for staying on brand: it keeps the product's label and shape the way the approved frame had them, while other models redesigned the bottle.
• —H3 Max makes mistakes on prompt adherence and physics. It claims 'camera moves you can direct' and strong prompt adherence. Our testing shows it ignores the motion the brief asks for and mishandles what moves in the background. A brief that asked for a slow arc around the product came back locked in a static front view, a bird meant to stay in the far canopy glitched across the middle of the frame, and a leaf meant to fall behind the bottle dropped in front of it and clipped through the glass.
• —They also claim native audio generation and our Expert video creators' comments support this claim. In one head-to-head, a reviewer picked H3 Max because 'its sound design is more convincing,' while the rival's audio 'felt more like a bathroom than an open ocean environment.’
