What this is
Why this site exists
MiniMax H3 shipped as an open-weight video model with bold community numbers attached: minutes-long renders, small-VRAM success stories, dramatic speed-ups. Some of those numbers are real, some depend on settings the posts never mention, and a beginner cannot tell which is which. This site exists to close that gap for one concrete case: running MiniMax H3 locally in ComfyUI on ordinary hardware.
Instead of aggregating claims, the site runs the model on its own hardware and publishes what actually happened — wall times, memory ceilings, temperatures, failures included — next to installation and workflow guidance a first-time user can follow.
Operator
Who runs it
The site is written and maintained by TF6cool, an independent maintainer who owns the test hardware, runs every benchmark personally, and writes every page. There is no editorial team, no sponsor input into results, and no affiliation with any vendor covered here.
Methodology
How the numbers are produced
- Owned hardware. Published runs come from the site's own RTX 3060 12GB bench, not from screenshots of other people's terminals.
- Pinned conditions. Workflow files, model files and template revisions are recorded by hash before a run; seeds, canvas, frame counts and step counts are fixed and stated with the result.
- Repeated runs, raw values. Long runs are executed at least twice and reported as raw per-run values with a range — not blended into a single average.
- Failures stay on record. Crashes, freezes and aborted runs are documented rather than deleted; several troubleshooting pages began life as one of them.
- Untested means untested. Cells in the benchmark matrix that have not been measured say so. Support is never inferred from a neighbouring result.
Evidence rules
What this site will not do
- Community-reported numbers stay labeled as community reports. They are never converted into site measurements, and the site does not claim to have reproduced or validated them.
- No model weights are distributed here. Download links point to the upstream repositories, and the license map records which terms each file arrives under.
- Machine-generated media is labeled where it appears.
- When a published figure turns out to be wrong, it is corrected on the page rather than quietly removed — reports are welcome.
