FrameSignal
Post-trained multimodal video model

H3 Max Turbo

H3 Max Turbo is fal Research’s post-trained MiniMax H3 variant, exposed through separate text-to-video and image-to-video endpoint families. The canonical fal routes support 5–15 second clips and 480P, 768P, or 1080P output, with native generated audio. Creative Claw’s “H3 Max Fast” label maps to the Turbo route and is not a separate model. An exact canonical release date is not verified; the first dated fal-owned availability reference found in this research was September 9, 2026. This record keeps Turbo’s provider pricing, evidence, and benchmarks separate from H3 Max.

Creative Claw · Itay Dressler / Creative Claw

platform charged cost

Creative Claw published a controlled same frame product i2v example. The displayed H3 Max Fast label maps to the H3 Max Turbo route; its $0.40 charge is Creative Claw platform pricing, not fal API pricing.

Reported metric: 0.4 USD

Reported result: Activation beats were visible and opening composition was preserved; a new vent detail appeared late in the orbit and audio became mostly quiet after the opening sound event.

Prompt: Starting from the supplied frame, the compact coral-orange desktop media console powers on; four indicator lights brighten in sequence, central dial turns slightly, warm light travels across the front edge; slow 15-degree move right plus subtle push-in; quiet room tone, electronic chime and dial click; preserve exact geometry/color/controls with no added objects or deformation. Full exact prompt at source.

Settings: same reference frame: true · duration seconds: 5 · resolution: 768p · aspect ratio: 16:9 · single output: true · rerolls: 0 · provider label: H3 Max Fast · actual model route: video/minimax-h3-max-turbo

Voyager · Anvisha Pai / Voyager

submit to result wait

Voyager published a text to video product turntable example. The reported time is submit-to-result wait, not backend inference time.

Reported metric: 6 seconds

Reported result: Estimated $0.10 under the Sep promotion; sampled output gained a spout-like lip and handle, showing product-identity drift.

Prompt: A matte black ceramic pour-over coffee dripper rotating slowly on a white turntable, soft studio light, seamless white background, product video, no text.

Settings: endpoint: minimax/h3-max-turbo/text-to-video · prompt expansion mode: disabled · aspect ratio: 16:9 · resolution: 768P · duration seconds: 5

Voyager · Anvisha Pai / Voyager

submit to result wait

Voyager published a text to video talking head example. The reported time is submit-to-result wait, not backend inference time.

Reported metric: 6 seconds

Reported result: Returned one-shot talking-head output with generated voice; audio was present but Voyager did not score lip-sync by ear.

Prompt: A woman in her 40s with short grey hair stands in a bright kitchen, looks at camera and says 'Good morning, the coffee is ready', natural window light, handheld feel, she smiles at the end.

submit to result wait

Voyager published a text fidelity title card example. The reported time is submit-to-result wait, not backend inference time.

Reported metric: 6 seconds

Reported result: Text was incomplete during entrance but resolved into readable lettering later.

Prompt: A title card reading 'MODA SUMMER SESSIONS' animates in over slow-motion festival footage; smaller line 'Friday 12 June' fades in beneath it.

Settings: endpoint: minimax/h3-max-turbo/text-to-video · resolution: 768P · duration seconds: 5 · prompt expansion mode: disabled

Voyager · Anvisha Pai / Voyager

submit to result wait

Voyager published a image to video product example. The reported time is submit-to-result wait, not backend inference time.

Reported metric: 6 seconds

Reported result: Returned 768x768; model filled the source dripper with coffee instead of showing a filter draining, a concrete semantic failure.

Prompt: The coffee dripper slowly fills as coffee drips through it, steam rising, the camera drifting gently around it, the dripper itself unchanged.

raw generation charge

Runware published a text to video provider example example. This is an external/provider report, not a FrameSignal generation.

Reported metric: 0.16 USD

Reported result: Provider displays approximately 44 seconds end-to-end for the published example.

Prompt: Semiconductor wafer transfer B-roll; full prompt and request at source.

Settings: resolution: 768p · workflow: text-to-video

fal · fal

inference time example

fal published a same prompt speed tier comparison example. This is a developer-authored test, not an independent benchmark.

Reported metric: 1.61 seconds

Reported result: fal reports H3 Max Turbo as the fastest endpoint in this developer-authored comparison; treat as vendor test, not independent benchmark.

Prompt: Same vertical skincare UGC prompt across five speed-tier endpoints; full prompt/settings at source.

Settings: same prompt: true · comparison set: ["H3 Max Turbo","H3 Max","Kling V3 Turbo Pro","Seedance 2.0 Mini","LTX-2.5 Fast"]
