MiniMax🇨🇳Major lab
MiniMax Music 3 is a music generation model capable of creating complete songs up to five minutes long from lyrics and a style description. It accepts lyrics with section tags such as verse, chorus, bridge, and outro, along with structured metadata covering genre, tempo, instrumentation, and vocal characteristics. The model produces stereo audio at 32 kHz and maintains thematic coherence across full song structures including intro, development, and finale.

MiniMax H3 is a general-purpose video generation model with native stereo audio support. It takes text, images, videos, and audio as inputs and outputs synchronized audio-video clips between 4 and 15 seconds long at up to 2K resolution and 24 FPS. The input side is highly flexible, supporting first-and-last-frame mode, multi-reference inputs with up to nine images, three video clips, and three audio clips combined. A dedicated preprocessing component called H3-Context-IR parses and relates the multimodal context before generation. The model communicates fluently in eleven languages. Performance details beyond the specification sheet are not covered in the provided sources.

MiniMax is barely known in the West — but its M3 model on OpenRouter ($0.30/$1.20 per MTok) is one of the cheapest 1M-context multimodal providers. Successor to Text-01 (4M context).
