Leaderboard leader H3 Max goes free without login: 5 videos a day at 768p
fal opened 5 free no-login generations a day for H3 Max, its post-trained variant of MiniMax H3. The model ranks first on both public image-to-video boards.
H3 Max, sitting at the top of the video leaderboards, can now be tried without logging in: fal opened 5 free generations a day, each up to 15 seconds at 768p. No signup, no card, no login; you type in the browser and generate.
Let's get the attribution straight: the base model is MiniMax's open-weights H3; H3 Max is fal's post-trained variant of that base, tuned for prompt adherence and aesthetics and co-optimized with fal's own inference stack. There are endpoints for text-to-video, first-and-last frame, reference-to-video and precise video editing.
The leaderboard side is bold: the model ranks first on both public image-to-video boards tracked. On Design Arena it leads with a 1,341 Elo, ahead of base H3 (1,333) and everyone else; on Artificial Analysis's image-to-video-with-audio board it is first at 1,201 Elo (±11) over 2,177 samples.
The no-login free tier is a practical door for quick tests before committing to full production, and the reactions circulating on X say the same. Try it: fal.ai/minimax-h3-max.

First impressions from the field
The speed claim holds up in the field too: in a test shared on X by a Korean user, a 5-second 768p clip arrived in roughly 3 seconds; "the video comes out unbelievably fast," he notes. The same user finds the tool ideal for testing before committing to full production, and also stitches short clips together. That is exactly the use the no-login free tier targets; credit to @hmmmmmmm1458 for sharing the test.
