Community Feedback

Users are sharing their experiences with H3-Metal on various platforms.

I’ve been using MiniMax H3 on my M5 Pro 64GB MacBook Pro through ComfyUI. It works extremely well.

Others are seeking open-source coding models for their Mac devices.

Noob question to all, is there any open source coding model that I can run on Mac mini 16gb?

Technical Insights

Experts discuss the potential of sparse attention for speedup.

In the AMA Minimax said that H3 could support sparse attention, that would be a huge speedup!

Current performance is a concern for some users.

On my 128GB M4 Max Mac Studio, generating a 15s 480p video with MiniMax H3 in ComfyUI takes an hour and a half.
