larryvrh/MiniMax-H3-Turbo-Lora
Summary
An early-preview LoRA for MiniMax-H3 that enables joint video and synchronized audio generation in 4 sampling steps instead of ~20, offering roughly 5x faster sampling, with ComfyUI custom nodes and three bf16 checkpoints.

A LoRA forMiniMax-H3that renders jointvideo + synchronized stereo audioin4 sampling stepsinstead of the usual ~20 — roughly a 5× speedup in sampling wall-clock.
⚠️**Early prototype — the weightsandthe tooling.**These weights are an early, under-trained checkpoint (not production quality), and the ComfyUI nodes below are prototype code:**functionality and compatibility are not guaranteed.**It is already a clear step up from the base model at 4 steps — sharper detail, cleaner and better-synced audio — but treat everything here as a work-in-progress taste, not a finished product.If something breaks, please open an issueon thenode repo.

Custom nodes:Larryvrh/ComfyUI-MiniMax-H3-Turbo— or search**“MiniMax-H3 Turbo”**in ComfyUI-Manager.
- Install the nodes (Manager, or
git cloneintoComfyUI/custom\_nodes). - Download a
\.safetensorsfrom this repo intoComfyUI/models/loras/. - Start from the officialMiniMax-H3 workflow(text-to-video or image-to-video) and make two changes:- insertMiniMax-H3 Turbo LoRAbetween the model loader and the sampler; - replace the sampler feeding
SamplerCustomAdvancedwithMiniMax-H3 Turbo Sampler (4-step), and set the scheduler to4 steps(simple).
Everything else stays as in the official workflow, so both t2v and i2v work. A ready-made t2v workflow is included here (minimax\_h3\_t2v\_turbo\.json) and in thenode repo— drag it into ComfyUI. The custom sampler is required: MiniMax-H3 runs video and audio on two different flow schedules, and a stock sampler over-steps the audio at 4 steps and it breaks.
- Steps: any count**≥ 4works andmore steps look better**— 4 is the fast default, 6 or 8 are cleaner. Keep the scheduler on
simple. - Base model: use anon-prunedbase (the
bf16or fullint8\_convrotDiT). Theprunedvariants (pruned\_int8,pruned\_fp8) use a different time-conditioning layer and arenot compatiblewith this LoRA.

Three checkpoints, all bf16, ~744 MB, applied as a standard low-rank update (W\_eff = W \+ lora\_B @ lora\_A, alpha = rank so no extra scaling):

generate\.pyis a single self-contained file — loads the base DiT + a LoRA, encodes the prompt, runs the 4-step dual-schedule sampler, decodes and muxes an mp4. It still needs a ComfyUI checkout for the H3 model / VAE / text-encoder definitions:

https://huggingface.co/larryvrh/MiniMax-H3-Turbo-Lora#notesNotes
- Resolution / duration: width/height are multiples of 32; the short edge is typically 768. Frame count is at 24 fps and snaps to the model’s 17·k+5 grid (124 ≈ 5 s). Validated range124–362 frames (5–15 s).
- VRAM: the base model is large (~33 B); an 80 GB GPU is comfortable (
\-\-offload\-adalnin the standalone script trades ~13 GB of VRAM for CPU RAM). - Steps: 4 is the design point, scheduler
simple. - Audio: 32 kHz stereo, aligned to the video; the two streams ride different flow schedules and are integrated each on its own clock.
