Announced August 27 by fal Research, H3 Max is a post-trained MiniMax H3 with text-to-video and image-to-video endpoints, native synchronized audio, 5 to 15 second durations and an optional final keyframe. Output is 1344x768 at 24 FPS. fal claims first place for overall quality, prompt understanding and aesthetics on both first-party and third-party evaluations, at about 35x the throughput of the official H3 endpoint and about 15x faster than comparable quality. Launch pricing is $0.025 per output second at 480p, $0.04 at 768p. (fal) It generates faster than it plays, and somebody promptly built a perpetual generated Rick and Morty interdimensional cable stream that keeps getting taken down.
