Model comparison
Compare MiniMax H3 Max and HappyHorse 1.1 using the same provider-sourced video generation rubric. No mystery score and no invented benchmark ranking.
Facts checked September 14, 2026
Set your usage. Your estimate updates as you type.
Example: 8-second, 720p clips with audio. Models that do not support these settings will not receive an estimate.
Estimates exclude taxes, tools, cache storage/writes, free allowances and custom discounts. Image estimates cover output only, not prompt or reference-image charges. Quality modes differ by model. Unlisted settings are not treated as free.

Quick take
fal's speed-focused post-trained version of MiniMax H3 for short video with native audio, fast 768p iteration, and text, image, or multimodal reference input.
fal's roughly 2.46-second figure is backend inference for one five-second 768p test—not total wait time or an SLA. H3 Max is hosted by fal, its weights are not published, 1080p is refined from the native 768p path, and reference media can add meaningful token cost.
Alibaba's unified video family for creating short clips with sound from text, a starting image, or a reference video.
The endpoints, accepted references, and defaults are not identical. Check watermark settings, content rules, live per-second pricing, and continuity across each shot before planning a campaign.
Compare the published facts
Values use each provider's own published units and limits. A blank means the provider did not publish a directly comparable value in the sources reviewed.
| Video generation | MiniMax H3 Max | HappyHorse 1.1 |
|---|---|---|
| Generation priceCurrent list price per generated second or the provider's closest billing unit. | $0.05 480p · $0.08 768p · $0.16 1080p / sec | Per generated second; use live QwenCloud rate |
| Clip durationDocumented duration choices or maximum clip length. | 5–15 seconds | 3–15 seconds |
| Maximum outputHighest provider-documented output resolution, with relevant constraints. | 1080p latent refinement; 768p native | 1080p |
| Native audioWhether the endpoint generates synchronized audio with video. | Yes | Yes |
| Input modesSupported text, image, video, reference, or motion inputs. | Text, first/end image, or image/video/audio references | Text, first image, or reference video |
| Generation timeOnly shown when a provider publishes a range; not a Cody benchmark. | fal test: ~2.46s inference for a 5s 768p clip | Not published |
How to choose
Start with the job you need to complete, then validate cost, access, and policy details on your exact provider route.
fal stores request inputs and outputs by default. The X-Fal-Store-IO: 0 header prevents payload storage, but separately uploaded CDN inputs can remain accessible and need their own deletion or lifecycle handling.
QwenCloud says API inputs and outputs are not retained for model training and are processed in memory. Confirm regional storage and any enabled conversation-storage setting for the exact account.
