Fal's MiniMax H3 Max Leads Image-to-Video After August's Video-Model Wave

MiniMax H3 Max, a post-trained variant of MiniMax H3 built by fal, has taken first place on the image-to-video leaderboard after a crowded August for generative video, while Alibaba's Wan 3.0 jumped 12 positions to third overall. Four August releases now sit in the top 11, including two of the top three, as independent tests put speed, cost, and control alongside quality as the new state-of-the-art baseline.
