MiniMax-H3 Turbo-SLA

MiniMax-H3 Turbo-SLA is a 4-step distilled FL2V checkpoint for MiniMax-H3, enhanced with SLA (Sparse–Linear Attention) for more efficient inference.

The model uses an 85% attention sparsity ratio. In our tested LightX2V setup, it delivers approximately 2.5× inference acceleration on an NVIDIA RTX 5090 while retaining competitive visual quality.

This repository contains LoRA weights and requires the original MiniMax-H3 model for inference. Actual performance may vary with resolution, video length, software environment, and hardware configuration.

LightX2V Inference

For installation and general MiniMax-H3 inference instructions, refer to the LightX2V MiniMax-H3 examples.

Use the following configuration for SLA-enabled inference on an RTX 5090:

minimax_h3_fp8_4step_5090_vae_fp8_sla.json

Key SLA-related settings in this configuration include:

{
  "attn_type": "dynamic_sparse_attn",
  "dynamic_sparse_attn_setting": {
    "sparsity_ratio": 0.85,
    "operator": "sage2"
  },
  "video_flow_shift": 6.0,
  "audio_flow_shift": 3.0,
  "h3_step_update": "training_euler"
}

Use the configuration file linked above as the source of truth for the complete inference setup, including FP8 DiT/VAE options and checkpoint paths.

ComfyUI

For ComfyUI workflows, use:

minimax_h3_fl2v_turbo_4step_v0.1_768p_sla_comfyui_bf16.safetensors

The ComfyUI checkpoint is a converted version of the SLA-enabled 4-step LoRA and is intended for compatible MiniMax-H3 ComfyUI workflows.
