MiniMax releases H3-Image text-to-image model with 16MP output

MiniMax has released H3-Image, an open-weighted diffusion transformer model with 33.1 billion parameters. This model is capable of generating high-resolution images up to 16 megapixels (4096x4096) from text prompts in under 10 seconds. The model's license, however, excludes users in the EU, UK, US, and South Korea. AI

IMPACT This release offers a high-resolution text-to-image generation capability, potentially impacting creative workflows and the broader generative AI landscape.
