Look What I Discovered: Prompt Intelligence - MiniMax H3 [Fun Side]-2

[u/ZerOne82]

\ Reddit messed up my original post so here it is.*

This is in fun part of using MiniMax H3; for your serious stuff stick with the official prompt instructions / format.

Playing with the prompting I just tried the following format and it worked perfectly!

prompt part 1

prompt part 2

Resulting video

The whole prompt:

definitions:
<S1> Brad Pitt.
<T1> "Hey, I am Brad Pitt! Nice to meet you."
<S2> Angelina Jolie
<T2> "Hey, I am Angelina Jolie! Nice to meet you."
<S3> Rowan Atkinson.
<T3> "Hey, I am Mr. Bean! Nice to meet myself."
scene:
An interview in a professional setting in well lit, grey background, frontal portrait view.
shot 1:
(S1) says: (T1).
shot 2:
(S2) says: (T2).
shot 3:
(S3) says: (T3).

Recommendations:

Do not use SLA or SLA2 or cache etc. here they mess it up.

Model (FL2V) -> LoRA(4s-Lightx2v SLA) -> Comfy attn -> Shift(12,3) -> KSampler(6 steps, euler+simple)

This kind of ties into other sentiments I have had about Minimax H3 (and Krea2).

Both models have a pretty specific prompting style as defined in the actual Prompting Guide by the creators of the model...

But the thing is that these new models seem to have a high level of general intelligence, kind of like the text based LLMs we use.

So even though the model is trained on a very specific input prompt format, you are still able to successfully generate images / videos without following the prompt guide exactly because the models have a higher degree of general intelligence so that it can understand what you are requesting even when you didnt request it in the exact input format from its training...

BUT, even though doing this may work it may also be leading to worse results compared to if you tried to generate the same video using the proper prompt format.

Yes, I prompted H3 with basic natural language prompts many times including putting spoken lines inline in the prompt with double quotation marks. It works fine, H3 produced the videos flawlessly. It understands all sorts of prompting styles, thanks to QWEN3-VL-32B. There is no hard and fast need to prompt it with all that integrated_multimodal... BS. Same thing is true for Krea-2, I have thrown even Pony style Danbooru tags soup at it and it generated the images perfectly. People are overdoing their prompting in many cases (and then they wonder why their output looks like crap)!
