MiniMax H3 user seeks VAE optimization for faster video generation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Reddit's r/StableDiffusion subreddit is seeking to optimize the generation speed of MiniMax H3, a video generation model. Profiling indicates that the variational auto-encoder (VAE) decoding process accounts for approximately 43% of the total generation time, translating to about 5.5 minutes per 15-second clip on a high-end RTX 4090 GPU. The user has attempted several optimizations, including using an fp8mix VAE and different temporal chunking strategies, but has seen minimal improvement. They are inquiring about faster VAEs compatible with their WanGP setup, potential benefits of newer CUDA and PyTorch builds, and whether hardware limitations like VRAM might be the primary bottleneck.
