MiniMax H3 Max Turbo is the budget Hailuo 3 tier: the same 5–15 second clips from text or a first-and-last frame pair, at about half the per-second price, without the reference-asset mode.
MiniMax H3 Max Turbo is the low-cost tier of the Hailuo 3 family, integrated here on 28 September 2026 together with H3 Max. Two endpoints sit behind one picker — text-to-video and image-to-video — with the same 5–15 second range, 480p and 768p tiers and native audio as H3 Max, at 20 or 30 credits per second.
What it does not do: there is no reference-to-video mode, so images, video clips and audio tracks cannot be supplied as references (use H3 Max or MiniMax H3 for that); there is no 2K tier; audio has no off switch; submitted tasks cannot be cancelled; and we have not timed this model yet.
H3 Max Turbo generates the same 5–15 second clips with native audio at 480p or 768p, from text or a first-and-last frame pair, at about half the per-second price of H3 Max — no API key, no separate account.
A 5-second 480p clip is 100 credits and a 5-second 768p clip is 150 — roughly half of H3 Max and a third of MiniMax H3 at 2K. Per-second pricing is shown before you generate, and a 15-second 768p take never exceeds 450 credits.
Two input modes: text-to-video with six aspect ratios, and image-to-video from a first frame with an optional last frame. It follows the ratio of your first frame, so a vertical still gives a vertical clip. There is no reference-asset mode on Turbo — for images, video and audio references use H3 Max or MiniMax H3.
Like the rest of the Hailuo 3 family, Turbo outputs native audio on every clip and there is no toggle for it. The rate you see is the only rate.
Pick any whole second from 5 to 15 at a flat per-second rate. Prompts up to 7,000 characters are kept with every generation in history, so a shot that works can be rerun.

It is the volume tier: the cheapest Hailuo 3 clips when the brief fits in a prompt or a pair of frames.
Run the motion at 20 credits per second until it works, then rerun the identical prompt on H3 Max or MiniMax H3 for delivery.
Ten 5-second 480p clips cost 1,000 credits. Text in, clip with sound out, six aspect ratios including 9:16.
First frame plus optional last frame is the one image feature Turbo keeps — and it keeps your aspect ratio.
No reference mode, no 2K, no audio toggle. Step up to H3 Max for references and to MiniMax H3 for 2K.
Same workspace, same credit pool — switching between any of these is one click.

Cheap drafts and volume: many short Hailuo 3 clips from text or a first frame, at 480p or 768p with native audio, from 20 credits per second.
20 credits per output second at 480p and 30 at 768p. A 5-second 480p clip is 100 credits; a 15-second 768p clip is 450. There are no reference surcharges because Turbo has no reference mode.
The reference-asset mode (images, video and audio references) and, compared with MiniMax H3, the 2K tier. Text-to-video, first-and-last-frame image-to-video, durations and aspect ratios are the same as H3 Max.
Whole seconds from 5 to 15, at 480p or 768p. Text-to-video offers 16:9, 21:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 and 9:16; image-to-video follows the ratio of your first frame.
No. Turbo generates native audio on every run and there is no toggle. Mute it in your edit if you need a silent plate.
Move to H3 Max when you need reference images, video or audio in the request; move to MiniMax H3 when you need 2K output or a 4-second clip.
