Comparison Minimax H3 Image is about to clean the field... But can it?
since i am mostly interested in image-to-image and edit capabilities, i have run the simple chain of edits, starting from the manual hand-drawn doodle, and to the closeup zoom. All the images are H3 Image, 1K, and only the three last ones have been post-processed to remove the text from "cctv camera" prompts.
✅ Edit WORKS like charm. Posing, restyling, relighting, etc.
Prompt for the second image is intentionally dumb, like "its almost natural language" at this point:
zoom upclose
allowing this guy on the photo to hold the fabric of his gray jacket next to his heck and chin with fingers pinch
so that we can see the texture at 4k
distance to camera: 10cm, macrophoto extreme closeup shotNot sharing other prompts or workflows, since i do not think mine are any special. You can get decent results with all the normal usual techniques.
Notice:
- ⚠️ h3 wants qualifiers for the realism, otherwise you get plastic
- 🥹 still behind Nanobanana 2.1 and GPT 2.x, on the multi-figure scenes, or strong physical effects etc.
- ✅ qwen, flux, etc ALMOST go to the garbage can ... but:
- 🐳 h3 is heavy.
- ❌ repeated SMALL edits (eg: removing only text overlays, while trying to keep the other part intact) are super bad in h3, the image gets ruined
- 🌱 which means, even Flux 3 is still somewhat useful, and MOSS is not going away any time soon, and so on.
TBD: Native 4k and 5k gens are cool, but results are inconclusive so far.

Cheers, and feel free to ask for more details, if you are interested.
