GGUF quantizations ofMiniMaxAI/MiniMax-H3
MiniMax H3 is an omni-modal generative system that produces video with native stereo audio, up to 15 seconds at 24 FPS with 32 kHz stereo audio. Both halves of the runtime are in this repo: the denoisers and the Qwen3-VL text encoder they need.
H3 ships two denoisers, and which one you load decides what the model can be given:
fl2va\_pruned, the H3-Base first-and-last-frame variant. Text, plus zero, one or two frames.ref2va\_pruned, the reference variant. Text, plus reference pictures, videos and audio.
They are separate checkpoints, not settings, so pick the one that matches the task. Both are quantized here at the same rungs, so a given quant costs about the same either way.

UD\-Q2\_K\_XL, the smallest rung here, at 960x544, 124 frames, 24 FPS, 8 steps, guidance 1.0, seed 11, on a single card.

The GIF is downsampled and silent. For the full 960x544 clip with its native 32 kHz stereo audio track, playassets/h3\_gguf\_ud\_q2\_k\_xl\.mp4. H3 generates the audio jointly with the video, so the audio is part of the model output rather than something added afterwards.

TheUD\-rungs are dynamic, mixed-precision builds. The uniform rungs hold one type throughout. Pair theQ2\_K\_Mtext encoder with the two smallest denoisers and theQ4\_K\_Mone with everything else. The text encoder and the VAEs are shared, so switching between the two denoisers costs one denoiser download and nothing else. The VAEs are not duplicated here, take them fromComfy-Org/MiniMax-H3.

Three flags are not optional.\-\-mode vid\_gen, or H3 takes the image path and aborts. Explicit\-\-cfg\-scale 1\.0, because H3 is distilled and cfg-free and aborts above 1.0 while the default is 7.0.
