MiniMax H3, a video generation model that turns a text description into a 1-5 second video with audio, is free and unlimited on AppleToken until November 6 at 15:59 UTC, PRLog reported. New accounts need no top-up for the campaign, which runs on GPUtw.ai compute.

How the MiniMax H3 Campaign Works

H3 generates a 1-5 second video with sound from a text description. The model supports 480p and 720p and five aspect ratios: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 and 3:4. AppleToken lists short social videos, ad pitches and content planning as uses. The campaign version does not support reference images.

Free generation applies only when the request names gputw/minimax-. Outside the campaign, AppleToken prices H3 at 0.017 points per second at 720p and 0.007 points per second at 480p. GPUtw.ai said it raised the limit on jobs processed at once from 8 to 32 and the limit on submissions per minute from 30 to 120 to handle demand during the campaign.

AppleToken used the same model to make its campaign video series, with every scene generated from a one-sentence description. "Through video generation, we want everyone to be able to turn their dreams, wishes and imagination into video," said TK Lin, founder of AppleToken. "For these two days, you don't need to think about cost. Make the scenes in your head together with AI."

MiniMax's Enterprise Reach Behind the Launch

MiniMax's models reach more than 300 million individual users and more than 1 million enterprise customers and developers, according to company records on akta.pro. The same records list a $1.2 billion post-IPO equity round and $829.2 million in post-IPO debt, both in July 2026, and a $300 million round in July 2025 led by SASAC.

Earlier MiniMax Model Releases

MiniMax completed export registration with China's commerce ministry on October 23 for open-sourcing and licensing several models overseas, and released the open weights of its M3.1 Flash model the same day, Triviumchina reported. On October 28, 2026, MiniMax open-sourced MCode Stack, a collection of 17 agent skills and 5 checklists under the MIT license, MarkTechPost reported. MiniMax launched an updated version of M3.1 Flash on October 19, claiming generational improvements in agentic tasks, programming and cybersecurity, with online inference speed nearly tripling and usage costs falling by 70%, EIN Presswire reported.

The campaign ends November 6 at 15:59 UTC.
