MiniMax-H3-Image in the CMF format: one 24.6 GB file, CUDA and Vulkan, from 4 GB of VRAM
Thank you for MiniMax-H3-Image and for the files in this repository. The model's quality at 4 to 16 megapixels in six steps is remarkable, and the pruned checkpoint made the port straightforward.
I have added the model to cortiq, a Rust inference engine with no Python and no ML framework, in its CMF container: https://huggingface.co/infosave/MiniMax-H3-Image-cmf
What the format gives here:
- One file of 24.6 GB holds everything: the diffusion transformer (from the pruned BF16 checkpoint here) and the Qwen3-VL prompt encoder in 4 bits, the image VAE in 8 bits. It is memory-mapped and there is nothing else to download.
- Text to image and image editing from one command,
cortiq imagine;--imagemakes the run an edit. - A native CUDA path. The transformer, the encoder and the VAE run as chains on the card; the weights stay in 4 bits there and are expanded only for their product. On an RTX 2000 Ada with 16 GB, 2048 x 2048 takes 50.3 s and 4096 x 4096 takes 283.7 s.
- A ceiling on the card's memory.
CMF_GPU_VRAM_MB=4000renders the same 2048 x 2048 picture in 60.2 s within 3.7 GB of the card (49.6 dB PSNR against the run without a ceiling): the blocks that do not fit pass through the card every step. - Vulkan on any vendor's card, with the same file.

The weights are quantized and not retrained, and the file is under the MiniMax-H3-Image Community License like the original. Measurements, more examples and the known limits are on the page.
