I tested a bunch of minimax for days, and this one impressed me. I am putting it here so vids created with this model get tagged correctly. credit for this goes to https://huggingface.co/hoidhxd

MiniMax-H3 x Z-Image Hybrid
A custom hybrid version of MiniMax-H3 combining the FL2VA and REF2VA branches of the model.
INT8
The INT8 model follows the same conceptual hybrid layout:
B00-B24 -> FL2VA
B25-B49 -> REF2VA
B50+ -> FL2VA
Why this hybrid exists
The purpose of this model is to experiment with a mixed FL2VA/REF2VA architecture where only the middle transformer blocks use REF2VA.
The selected layout is:
FL2VA
|
+-- B00-B24
|
REF2VA
|
+-- B25-B49
|
FL2VA
|
+-- B50+
This allows the model to be tested as a single hybrid model without requiring separate model files for the two branches.

Please refer to the original repository for the native model structure, configuration and usage information.
GGUF
A GGUF conversion of the BF16 hybrid is provided separately:
https://huggingface.co/hoidhxd/MiniMax-H3-x-Z-Image-hybrid-GGUF
The GGUF version is intended for use with GGUF-compatible ComfyUI workflows and loaders.
Disclaimer
This is an experimental custom hybrid model.
It is not an official MiniMax release.
The hybrid block selection was created for experimentation and testing.
Description
The INT8 model follows this conceptual hybrid layout:

How do you consciously post this whilst slaughtering children in the middle east?
i never been a part of war and lost my father to 9/11 that is him in the picture
mayayahee - many countries have leadership that commit atrocities but that doesn't make the people of those countries complicit, nor should we assume that they are in agreement with the policies of their governments. These things are important issues but definitely this is not the forum for political disagreements.
Why?
One of the best checkpoints for MiniMax H3.
Is Turbo baked in or do I need it separately?
i been using turbo lora separately, one if the things i like about this one- its just modified to help with the features of minimax
So this is exactly the same file as minimax_h3_hybrid_fl2va_ref2va_b25-49-int8.safetensors ? or whats the difference with the zs05 version ?
it starts with https://huggingface.co/joeygambino/MiniMax-H3-x-Z-Image-native
a different modified version, then he does the block transfer
- so its a different version - i have links on page to the hf repos for more info
The other hybrid model I tried was ErosMAx beta 5, and it was really hybrid regarding images, but for sound references (used as voice timbres), it didn't work at all. Is it the case with this one too ?
sound is fine, if you get complex with any part and have sound.. it can be effected.. the model is like a stack of cards to get aligned perfect.. sometimes i need to add a step or 2
Currently remains my main model—better image quality at the same resolution, fewer artifacts like broken body anatomy, etc., and no cheap tricks like Eros moving people closer to the camera.
