Catalogue identity notes
MiniMax's MiniMax-H3-Max video model (API model name listed on MiniMax's own pay-as-you-go pricing doc next to MiniMax-H3; third-party coverage says it launched on 2 Sep 2026 as a fal.ai-post-trained fast variant of H3). No open weights (the catalogued minimax-h3 is the open MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-H3). Rapidata lists 'MiniMax H3 Max' (relative camera, commercial I2V via public API, default settings) and 'minimax-h3-max' (I2V realism), separately from 'MiniMax H3'. released month from the third-party launch reports, not a first-party page.
