Deploy MiniMax-H3 with Sol Engineachieving 3.56× acceleration on H100 and 3.55× acceleration on A100

One full-stack MiniMax-H3 policy, adapted to two generations of NVIDIA data center GPUs. Four GPUs generate a 1344x768, 124-frame audio-video clip with no model offload and the original BF16 checkpoint.

01 · MiniMax-H3

Long-context audio-video generation

MiniMax-H3 packs text, audio, conditioning inputs, and target video into a single sequence. At this release setting, every attention layer processes 38,247 tokens, making attention and repeated denoising the natural targets for end-to-end acceleration.

The same policy scales across H100 and A100

End-to-end inference time comes directly from the released SGLang runtime logging after one warmup request. Dense and full-opt use the same prompt, seed, model, resolution, and four-GPU topology on each platform.

Baseline vs. full optimization, per device 1344×768 · 5 s · 50 steps

Full optimization is the complete Sol Engine stack. Every pair uses the same prompt and seed, and each clip carries its own generated audio track.

Prompt 1

Cinematic push-in on a starship bridge: a captain in a high-collared navy tunic stands silhouetted at the observation window as a dreadnought armada charges its hyperdrives. A blinding flash, the bridge shudders, and the fleet is gone. [full prompt compacted]

Prompt 2

A flamenco dancer spins fast on a wooden stage under a single warm spotlight, her red skirt flaring wide, heels striking the boards in sharp rapid bursts, a guitar driving underneath and hands clapping on the offbeat, camera circling with her.

Prompt 3

Two mechanics in a garage at night lean over an open engine bay. The older one wipes his hands and says “It’s not the pump.” The younger one answers “Then what is it?” A radio murmurs in the corner, a wrench clatters onto the concrete, fluorescent tubes buzz overhead.

03 · Full-Opt Recipe

Shared model policy, hardware-native attention

The model-level decisions are identical on both systems. Only the sparse-attention kernel is specialized for the target GPU generation.

Shared policy

First 10 steps and first two layers stay dense. Sol-Attn uses tau=1.0, no token reordering, and an exact 951-token multimodal prefix sink.

H100

The SM90 path uses a CuTe sparse-attention backend while retaining the same online routing and exact prefix behavior.

A100

The SM80 path uses a portable Triton backend, preserving the policy and distributed execution without requiring Hopper-only instructions.
