# Runway adds MiniMax's H3 video model to its lineup By Steven Van · 2026-07-30 H3 generates 5-15 second 2K clips with stereo audio and reference-image control, arriving on Runway the same day as several other platforms. [Runway]() added **MiniMax H3** to its lineup, putting MiniMax's new video model alongside every other frontier model already available on the platform. Runway's pitch is simplicity: access it alongside everything else, start creating today, no separate account or API integration required. [Source post](https://x.com/i/status/2083010367073272150) ## One more option in an already deep bench Runway has built its position around being a multi-model hub rather than betting on a single house model, and H3 slots into that strategy directly. H3 (also called Hailuo 3.0) generates 5 to 15 second clips at 2K resolution with native stereo audio and Omni-Reference control, accepting up to 9 reference images, 3 video clips, and 3 audio clips to hold character, style, and motion consistent across a shot. ## Why Runway users get first pick fast Being first to carry a strong new model matters for a platform whose users are actively comparing outputs across models on the same project. H3's early reputation, matching pricier models like Seedance on quality while undercutting them on cost, makes it a natural addition for creators already switching between models mid-project to find the best result for a given shot. ## Landing everywhere at once Runway's launch happened the same day as H3's arrival on [Krea](), [Magnific](), [Leonardo](), [Lovart](), and [Pika](), a rollout pace that shows how quickly a new video model can now reach nearly the entire creative tooling market in a single day. ![Runway]() Runway AI video and image generation platform with a full suite of frontier creative models.
