Model Card
MiniMax H3 Lite is a lightweight video generation model from MiniMax, offered alongside the MiniMax H3 family in the MiniMax API.
It supports text-to-video, first and last frame image-to-video, and reference input, with clips of 4 to 15 seconds at 24 fps. Output is limited to 480p and 768p, and it does not produce the 2K resolution available in the full H3 model.
MiniMax's API lists it as a drop-in option that only needs the model field changed, so the same request format works across H3 variants. Suited to developers who want faster, lower-cost drafts, previews, and iteration before rendering final clips at higher resolution.

More AI Models From MiniMax
MiniMax M3.1 Flash
MiniMax M3.1 Flash is a multimodal coding model from MiniMax, released on October 19, 2026. MiniMax describes it as a frontier multimodal coding model with a 1M-token context window and tunable thinking depth, built for agentic reasoning, tool use, coding, and structured tasks. It accepts text, image, and video input and returns text. Thinking is always on, with five effort levels (low, medium, high, xhigh, max) where max is the default. Lowering the effort level reduces latency, and requests that disable thinking return an error. MiniMax positions it for everyday development work such as bug fixes, small features, and regression testing. MiniMax reports 73.7% on DeepSWE v1.1 and 61.7 on OSWorld V2. It suits API developers building coding agents and tool-calling workflows that need long context and image or video input.
ChatMiniMax M3
MiniMax M3 is a frontier-level multimodal language model built for long-horizon coding, agentic workflows, and complex reasoning. It introduces MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA), which delivers 15x faster decoding and 9x faster prefill at 1M-token context compared to the prior generation. M3 scores 59.0% on SWE-Bench Pro — surpassing GPT-5.5 and Gemini 3.1 Pro — and achieves the highest score on Claw-Eval (74.5%) for autonomous agent tasks. It accepts text, image, and video inputs natively and supports tool calling through standard MCP scaffolding. Ideal for developers building coding agents, long-document pipelines, and multi-step automation that require sustained, multi-hour autonomous execution.
ChatMiniMax M2.7
MiniMax M2.7 is a proprietary reasoning LLM from Chinese AI startup MiniMax, released on March 18, 2026, notable for being one of the first commercial models to actively participate in its own training through autonomous self-evolution loops. It excels at agentic coding workflows with a 56.2% score on SWE-Pro and strong performance in office productivity tasks, scoring the highest ELO (1495) on GDPval-AA among open-source-tier models. It targets developers building complex agent systems and automated workflows.
