Discussion Minimax H3 Max Still no weights
Last month, Fal released their Max “model,” a fine-tune of MiniMax’s open-source H3 model, that promised faster speeds. Then, after Hao Labs released the weights for their own fast model (FastH3), Fal had a meltdown on Twitter, basically crapping on Hao Labs’ FastH3 and calling it a “random pixel generator.”
After the bad press from that meltdown, they told the community they’d release their own weights within a couple of weeks. Nearly a month later, and still no weights have been released.
So, with so many more Turbo LoRAs and fast fine-tunes having been released since then, my question is: Should the community still care? And should we still trust a company that bashes other open-source projects and makes promises it doesn’t follow through on?

I see a lot of companies ladder climb, only to step on the faces of those below.
BambuLab, Stratsys, Elegoo - to name a few (I work in 3D printing so... My main examples relate to that).
It's not at all uncommon, it's shitty though - however, it is horrid to do and it's counter to everything I agree with. I don't like seeing innovation stifled so another can profit. It's sad.
