MiniMax H3 (Hailuo 3.0), and how it differs from Seedance
MiniMax shipped H3 the same day as Seedance 2.5 and took the opposite position: open, with the API live from day one. 2K video, native stereo audio, motion transfer and precise editing.
Not wired up
Nothing to sell you here either, for the same reason as Seedance. The comparison is the useful part: if you need programmatic access now, H3 has it and Seedance doesn't. If you need 30 seconds single-shot at 4K, Seedance has it and H3 doesn't.

What it takes to use it
The API is public, so this one does fit a pipeline — generate from a text, image or video reference and get stereo audio in the same pass. There's no coding-agent angle; treat it as a media service you call, the way you'd call a TTS or image API.
