Chinese AI company MiniMax restricts open-source use of video generation model "H3" in the US, Europe, and South Korea

Currently, Hollywood giants such as Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros. Discovery have filed lawsuits against MiniMax for unauthorized use of copyrighted content to train AI models. The U.S. court rejected MiniMax's application to withdraw the lawsuit in May this year, and the case is currently under review. H3 officially released model weights on August 3, supporting the generation of videos up to 15 seconds long with 2K resolution, and ranks first on the video editing leaderboard of the benchmark platform Artificial Analysis.
