The briefing
MiniMax-H3-Image is MiniMax's new open-weight model for text-to-image and image editing. It outputs images of about 16 megapixels, such as 4096 × 4096, directly without an upscaler, and takes up to 16 reference images. MiniMax's API platform is running a 50% discount on 4K output right now, so it's a good week to batch-generate high-resolution images.
What you get
- The offer runs until November 17, 2026 at 16:00 UTC (00:00 on November 18 Beijing time on the China platform).
- When the final delivered image is at least 16,600,000 pixels (width × height), the whole request is billed at 50% off. Both MiniMax-H3-Image and MiniMax-H3-Image-Highspeed are included.
- Using the published examples, a standard 4K text-to-image drops from about $0.069 to about $0.034, and a 4K edit with one reference image drops from about $0.073 to about $0.037. Highspeed 4K text-to-image drops from about $0.130 to about $0.065.
- Billing is token-based, so the cost per image varies slightly. 1K and 2K images aren't discounted.
- There's no coupon or code; the discount applies automatically to paid usage.
