What it does
H3 Max Turbo is fal's speed-tuned MiniMax H3: a 5-second 768p clip renders in about 1.5 seconds, at half the price of H3 Max and 97% of its quality. Text-to-video and image-to-video, up to 15 seconds, in your browser.
H3 Max Turbo renders a 5-second clip in roughly 1.5 seconds at 480p or 768p, from a prompt or a start frame. Twice the speed and half the cost of H3 Max, with the same prompt adherence — built for teams that ship ten variations before lunch, not one clip a day. H3 Max Turbo is the speed and cost tier of H3 Max, released by fal on September 2, 2026 as a preview. Both models start from MiniMax's open-weight H3 checkpoint (Hailuo 3.0), but fal post-trained them with fresh data for prompt adherence and aesthetics and co-designed a custom inference engine around the weights. Turbo pushes that engine further: about twice the throughput of H3 Max, at half the per-second price, while targeting the…from h3maxturbo.net

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up. One…
