MiniMax H3 Fast: Quick 480p Drafts With Reference Control

H3 Fast is MiniMax's quickest H3 model. It makes 480p clips of 4 to 15 seconds at one flat rate ($0.046 a second), and unlike H3 Max Turbo it keeps reference support: combine your prompt with images, videos and audio to keep the look, the motion or a voice consistent while you draft.

Use the same reference image you plan to use on H3 for the final, so the draft tells you something useful.
