Summary
The Chinese AI firm MiniMax has restricted open-source access to its video model H3 in the U.S., EU, and South Korea. Major Hollywood studios, including Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros. Discovery, sued MiniMax for using copyrighted material to train its models. In May 2026, a U.S. court denied MiniMax’s motion to dismiss, and the case remains active. H3 released its model weights on August 3, capable of generating 15-second, 2K-resolution videos and ranking first in video editing on Artificial Analysis.
