What is it?
MiniMax-H3 Studio is a self-hosted web app for running MiniMax-H3 audio-video generation on one GPU machine. It uses ComfyUI as a Python library rather than its node UI or workflow JSON, so it can load quantized ComfyUI checkpoints and ComfyUI's dynamic VRAM offloading, and it places a resident job server and a browser UI in front of them.
The studio covers text-to-video, image-to-video (first frame or first and last frame), and reference-to-video with up to 6 images and 3 videos. It also handles picture generation and editing with MOSS-Image, FLUX.2 Klein 4B and Qwen Image 2.1 Turbo, image-to-3D with Pixal3D that exports GLB, music generation with MiniMax Music 3, video upscaling with FlashVSR or SeedVR2, and speech through a native audio.cpp CUDA server (TTS, voice cloning and Qwen3-ASR transcription). Jobs run one at a time from a persistent queue, and model weights stay loaded between jobs.
Deployment is handled by a script that pushes the server and UI to a GPU machine over SSH and sets up a systemd service, and a separate script downloads the required checkpoints. The user must install ComfyUI and its Python environment on the GPU host.
Key features
- 01Text, image and reference-driven video generation with optional guide audio for lip sync and music videos.
- 02Picture generation and editing with three models, with outputs sendable to editing, video or 3D.
- 03Image-to-3D producing textured GLB files with an in-browser viewer.
- 04Speech synthesis, voice cloning and transcription with subtitle export via audio.cpp.
- 05Persistent job queue with weights kept resident between jobs.
- 06SSH deploy script and a model download script for setup on a GPU machine.
Use cases
- Generating short AI video clips with sound on a local RTX-class GPU.
- Making music videos by anchoring a song as the soundtrack for each shot.
- Creating textured 3D models from single product or object photos.
- Transcribing and subtitling recorded audio or video on your own hardware.
Quick start
- 1
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/<you>/minimax-h3-studio && cd minimax-h3-studio - 2
Create your local configuration file and edit it
cp .env.example .env - 3
Download the configured model checkpoints to the GPU machine
./deploy.sh models - 4
Build the UI, install the server and start it
./deploy.sh
Things to know
- Requires a Linux machine with an NVIDIA GPU; it was developed on an RTX 4090 with 24 GB VRAM.
- You must install ComfyUI yourself, since this project only imports it.
- The model checkpoints total tens of gigabytes, so downloads and disk space are a significant cost.
- The fastest CUDA backend on PyTorch older than cu130 needs a source build of comfy_kitchen and a patch to ComfyUI.
