Installuv, then use the CUDA 13 / Blackwell path below. It selects FastVideo’s published CUDA kernel wheel instead of compiling the kernel locally. See theinstallation guidefor other platforms.

git clone https://github.com/hao-ai-lab/FastVideo.git
cd FastVideo
uv venv --python 3.12 --seed
source .venv/bin/activate
UV_TORCH_BACKEND=cu130 uv pip install \
  --no-sources-package fastvideo-kernel \
  -e ".[fasth3]"
python examples/inference/basic/basic_fasth3.py \
  --model-path FastVideo/FastVideo-FastH3-4-step-Preview-v1-VSA-DataFree \
  --prompt "your prompt" \
  --no-warmup \
  --repeats 1

The tested defaults use four B200 GPUs and the trained four-forward schedule. On other multi-GPU CUDA systems, follow the installation guide and add\-\-no\-replicated\-dit \-\-vsa\-kernel triton \-\-no\-fa4. The GPU count must divide H3’s 56 attention heads.

This preview supports text-to-audio-video generation. FL2VA and Ref2VA were not distilled. Difficult motion, fine detail, and some audio may remain below the base MiniMax H3 model. This checkpoint inherits theMiniMax H3 Community License.
