A community port brings MiniMax-H3 video generation to MLX on Apple Silicon
A short hands-on report describes a large local model download and promising video output, while audio quality and broader reliability remain untested.
Overview
Simon Willison reports running a community MLX port of MiniMax-H3 video generation on an Apple Silicon system after downloading roughly 115 GB of model files. His short test produced an impressive video but poor audio without audio-specific prompt guidance.
Why it matters
A working MLX port could broaden local access to video generation on Apple Silicon hardware.
The evidence is a single short test and does not establish installation reliability, performance across hardware, output consistency, or audio quality.
