Generate 480p or 768P video with native audio from a single reference image using the MiniMax H3 Lite API. Upload a product photo or a photo from your menu and describe the movement, camera work, and sound for a 4–15 second clip. Draft animated menu clips, product previews, and social videos at 480p, then switch to 768P to review food textures and packaging details. Find video generation request examples, supported parameters, and usage pricing on the model page.

Model API questions

How do I call MiniMax h3 Lite through OpenAny?

Use model ID minimax-h3-lite with an OpenAny key and the operation published in this model's API tab. The model API base is https://api.openany.si/v1. Confirm the protocol and request schema; model availability does not imply every OpenAI API operation is supported.

How is MiniMax h3 Lite billed?

Compare the published rate and billing unit of the selected provider route. Input, output and cache token rates may differ. Image, audio and video models can use other units. Recorded usage determines the charge under that route's billing contract.

Are Community and Verified routes the same as an official publisher API?

No. Inspect the provider name and supply classification for the specific route. A marketplace listing or a supply label is not a claim of publisher endorsement, identical service or measured uptime. Different route prices may reflect different supply and conditions.

Where do these prices come from, and when were they updated?

Rates come from the provider routes in OpenAny's public model catalog, not an independent quote from the model publisher. The catalog does not supply a price update timestamp. A page or catalog snapshot date is not a price revision date. Compare supply, billing units, tiers and conditions; a lower listed rate alone does not establish equivalent service or explain the price difference.
