FlashML released FreeVideo, a local inference engine for MiniMax H3. It runs on consumer GPUs with as little as 8 GB VRAM and 16 GB RAM. The engine adapts its acceleration path to the available hardware. It supports text, image, video and audio inputs. FreeVideo integrates with ComfyUI and offers a Windows launcher for setup. It also supports command-line use on Linux. The project is open-source under Apache 2.0. Model weights carry separate MiniMax H3 Community License restrictions.
