Robert Scoble retweeted a side-by-side test of Seedance 2.5, Seedance 2 and MiniMax H3 using an identical prompt. Bilawal Sidhu had called Seedance 2.5 the priciest yet leading option. Separate posts describe MiniMax H3 as a 33B open-weight model from MiniMax AI that adds synchronized audio, accepts text image and video references, and runs locally via ComfyUI on one RTX 5090. The model later appeared on Hugging Face with text-to-video and reference-to-video features.
