Best for

  • Text-to-video with synchronized audio using the self-hosted H3-Base checkpoint.
  • First/last-frame guided video generation.

Tradeoffs

  • The complete 2K pipeline also uses MiniMax-hosted modules; it is not fully self-hostable.
  • Review the community license and regional requirements before deploying.
