A convertible toward the sunset.

LTX-2.5 Fast at 720p, 6 seconds. A small convertible drives down a straight desert highway toward the setting sun, trailing dust, seen from behind. Fine for a quick draft; the car stays small and soft.

The desert highway, on MiniMax H3 Max.

MiniMax H3 Max at 768P, 5 seconds, with the prompt of the LTX desert clip next to it; back in 36 seconds. A white convertible drives away down a desert highway into the sunset with dust behind it, in a lower, closer drone shot than the LTX clip, and the car is larger and sharper. The sound is an acoustic guitar tune, not engine or wind.

The mountain train, on LTX-2.5 Fast.

LTX-2.5 Fast at 720p, 6 seconds with sound on, with the prompt of the H3 Max train clip next to it; back in 49 seconds. A red train runs along a ridge above a sea of clouds, seen from high above and behind; the train is small in the frame and the light is flatter than in the H3 Max clip. The sound is a low rumble without music.

LTX 2.5 vs MiniMax H3 FAQ

Tested on Cicadas · reviewed 2026-10-11

Four text-to-video clips through fal.ai, two prompts on each model, one run each and none retried. Desert highway: LTX-2.5 Fast at 720p, 6 seconds (recorded 2026-09-30) and MiniMax H3 Max at 768P, 5 seconds (2026-10-11, back in 36 seconds). Mountain train: MiniMax H3 Max at 768P, 5 seconds (2026-09-29) and LTX-2.5 Fast at 720p, 6 seconds with sound on (2026-10-11, 49 seconds). In both pairs H3 Max framed the subject larger and sharper; its sound was guitar music in one clip and a loud roar in the other, while LTX gave a low rumble on the train. The two clips of each pair were made on different days, each model used its own default length and size, and two prompts are too few to rank the models. Image to video, 1080p, longer clips, the open H3 weights and local runs were not tested.
