FastH3 Omni (FastVideo + Nuva Lab)
What they did
An open-weight distilled MiniMax-H3 from FastVideo (Hao AI Lab, UC San Diego) and Nuva Lab, released Oct 20, 2026. It turns a prompt plus up to 9 images, 3 videos and 3 audio clips (12 references max, at least one image or video) into a 5, 10 or 15 second video with synchronized stereo audio at 24 fps, in eight transformer passes. FastVideo measured 5.6–11.9× lower latency than MiniMax H3 on 8 GB200 GPUs. NVFP4 and FP8 variants run locally on an RTX 5090, DGX Spark or RTX 4090, and ComfyUI variants are published.

A ComfyUI workflow that swaps a character in a video using MiniMax H3 plus a Character Swap LoRA, with no masking. It renders at about 0.4–0.5 MP in 8 steps and then upscales to 1.2 MP with the H3 latent upscaler. The creator tested it on an RTX 3060 6 GB with 16 GB RAM: about 20 minutes to generate and 21 to upscale. You build a character sheet first (Qwen Image 2.1, FLUX Krea or H3). Workflow and tutorial are linked from the post.
