MiniMax H3, a 33B video model, runs on 16GB Macs days after release
Days after MiniMax opened the weights, vpipe has the 33B H3 FL2VA/REF2VA models generating video and its soundtrack on a 16GB MacBook Air. It is a native-Metal pipeline with no third-party tensor runtime, and benchmarks 11m25s per 5-second clip, beating the reference h3.c implementation on identical M5 hardware. Weight streaming plus 4-bit prep squeeze a model class that previously required a workstation into a fanless laptop.
