Simon Willison ports MiniMax-H3, a general-purpose omni-modal generative system from MiniMax, to MLX for local execution on Apple Silicon. He successfully generated a 15-second video with audio on his M5 Max MacBook Pro, though the process required ~115 GB of model files and nearly 45 minutes of generation time.
Background
