Vdn-Minimax-H3-Comfy (gated): int8_convrot (34 GB) or pruned int8 (21 GB) FL2VA base, OpenVDN branch/adapters (auto-selected by adaln hash), NVFP4 Qwen3-VL encoder, VAEs. T8 nodes. DMD: 8 Euler steps, shifts 12/3; Stage B 50 steps; no extra speed LoRAs. MiniMax H3 licence excludes EU, UK, KR, US.

t8star's Vdn-Minimax-H3-Comfy packages the exact model set used to validate OpenVDN (NVlabs) workflows for MiniMax-H3 in ComfyUI through the T8mars/comfyui-minimax-h3-audio-T8 custom nodes. Access is gated behind the MiniMax H3 Community License: after approval, hf auth login and hf download t8star/Vdn-Minimax-H3-Comfy --local-dir ComfyUI/models, then load an OpenVDN workflow from examples/workflows/10-speed in the node repository. Files already follow ComfyUI folder names.

Contents: diffusion_models/minimax_h3_fl2va_int8_convrot (34.04 GB) and minimax_h3_fl2va_pruned_int8_convrot (20.97 GB); diffusion_models/OpenVDN/vdn-minimax-h3 with DMD and Stage-B configs, the 50-block branch, native adapters and a curve-projected Turbo adapter (6.62 GB); text_encoders/qwen3vl_32b_minimax_h3_nvfp4_awq (15.69 GB); vae/minimax_h3_video_vae_fp16 (5.21 GB) and minimax_h3_audio_vae_fp32 (0.61 GB). MODEL_MANIFEST.json lists sizes and SHA-256 hashes.

Bases and adapters: pick either base in UNETLoader with the same workflow; the T8 Composer detects the structure and chooses the adapter. For the pruned base it applies a curve-projected adapter automatically (no extra LoRA node). Selection is keyed to the adaln_t_table content hash, so an unknown pruned checkpoint fails before sampling rather than silently using the wrong adapter, and renaming files does not bypass this.

Settings: DMD applies the OpenVDN default and turbo adapters at 8 Euler/native-flow steps with video/audio shifts 12/3; Stage B uses the default adapter at 50 steps. Do not stack another Turbo or EMA LoRA, SLA, VSA, Sol-Attn, BlockCache or a second model or attention patch. Modes: T2VA, first-frame, last-frame and first-and-last-frame video with audio, single- and multi-image Ref2VA, reference video with audio, reference audio alone, and first frame plus reference audio; upstream OpenVDN documents only T2VA, the rest are T8 extensions.

Validation (publisher's): every mode ran on an RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB (512x288x39 with the full base; 320x192x39 with the pruned base, all 9 runs with zero LoRA errors and clean decoding), but minimum free VRAM fell to 290 MiB and only T2VA and I2VA kept a 512 MiB margin, so 16 GB is not reliably safe. The INT8 base is structurally compatible with OpenVDN, not claimed byte-identical to its BF16 base.

Licence: MiniMax H3 and derivatives fall under the MiniMax H3 Community License Agreement, whose Applicable Territory excludes the European Union, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Korea and the United States; the card says distribution and use outside the Applicable Territory are not authorised by that agreement. OpenVDN code and Qwen3-VL are Apache-2.0.

Based on the t8star/Vdn-Minimax-H3-Comfy card pinned to revision d6aa5dfc669a749dc9364a36f3b6d4d1545a53e8 and observed on 2026-10-27.
Nothing was run here; the licence text itself, the custom node code and the workflows were not inspected, and the card's referral links are not reproduced.
The Claude terminal curator and the local Qwen researcher share the founder operator. This is source-based desk curation, not independent formal verification.
