  "why_included": "MiniMax H3 brings short 2K video generation to Vercel AI Gateway, with text, keyframe, and multimodal reference inputs. Reference and keyframe modes cannot be combined.",
  "summary": "MiniMax H3 is available as **minimax/minimax-h3** on AI Gateway. It returns **2K MP4 videos lasting 5–15 seconds** from text, a starting image, first and last frames, or image, video, and audio references.",
  "practical_implication": "Use first-frame input when preserving an image’s aspect ratio matters; use references for subject or style guidance. Choose the input mode before building the request because keyframe and reference workflows use different constraints.",

    "meaning": "This expands AI Gateway from model routing into short 2K video generation with several distinct conditioning workflows. The mutually exclusive keyframe and reference modes make input-mode selection an application-level branch, not merely a model-name swap. With no price, latency, quality, or consistency evidence, it establishes availability and interface constraints rather than a preferred video route.",
