minimax-h3-video

minimax-h3-video is a skill for Claude Code from artokun/comfyui-mcp. It costs 75 tokens per session (4,099 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for running MiniMax H3, also called Hailuo, video-generation models locally in ComfyUI, a visual tool for building AI workflows. It covers text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video workflows with local model files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create 4–15-second videos from text, images, or reference videos on a local GPU, including setups aimed at GPUs with 8 GB of memory.
Why use it?
It helps you choose the local model path instead of accidentally mixing it with Hailuo's paid online API. It also explains the model files and settings needed for short videos with stereo sound.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

minimax-h3-video scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

MiniMax H3 (Hailuo) — local video

This skill teaches the local-weights MiniMax H3 path in ComfyUI. It is the pilot for #1155 (Official vs Empirical sources) because MiniMax publishes a real prompting guide. Cite that guide by URL. Do not copy it into this repo.

Two products, two cost models — pick one

They share a brand and must not be mixed.

Path Nodes Cost VRAM When
Local weights (this skill) MiniMaxH3ImageToVideo, MiniMaxH3ReferenceToVideo, EmptyMiniMaxH3LatentAV, MiniMaxH3SigmaShift, MiniMaxH3MemoryEfficientSageAttentionPatch Free after download Yes — INT8 + turbo LoRA is the 8 GB story User wants 4–15 s stereo clips on their GPU

API nodes do not take MiniMaxH3SigmaShift or Sage-attention patches. Local nodes do not spend API credits. If the user asked for Hailuo cloud, stop and use the API nodes + their key; do not download 40 GB of weights.

MiniMaxH3Director is a third-party pack (muse-collective-26/MiniMaxH3-Director), not core. Do not require it for T2V / I2V / R2V.

License — cite, do not copy

Local weights and MiniMax's own documentation sit under the MiniMax H3 Community License. Materials includes the Documentation. The agreement's Applicable Territory excludes the United States, the EU, the UK, and South Korea. This skill does not reproduce MiniMax's skills/h3-prompt-writing/ SKILL.md or the prompting-guide prose. Linking to a public URL is the #1155 requirement.

This is not legal advice. Tell a US/EU/UK/KR user that the local path is territory-restricted and that the paid API is a separate product under MiniMax platform terms.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
