MiniMax H3 license: EU, UK, Korea and US are Excluded Territories

Yes. The MiniMax H3 Community License, dated August 2, 2026, defines "Excluded Territories" as the European Union, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Korea and the United States of America. Section V.4 says use of the Works or their Outputs outside the "Applicable Territory" (worldwide, excluding those four) "is not authorized by this Agreement".

This post only quotes the license text, read 2026-10-01; it is not legal advice and does not say whether any particular use is covered. Sume's side is limited to what its Video generation docs list.

What exactly does the license say?

Three clauses matter for the territory question, and they are separate: the definition, the grant, and the outputs restriction.

Does the clause cover Outputs, not just the weights?

V.4 names "any of their Outputs or results" alongside the Works. The license defines "Output" as any result of operating or using MiniMax H3, "including through Hosted Services". Read the definition and V.4 together, and take your own advice on what they mean for your files.

Is there another path in the text?

Section II has a separate invitation to contact MiniMax. It is covered on its own in the contact-for-license post.

What does Sume list for MiniMax H3?

The docs list minimax-h3 at 5 to 15 seconds at native 480p or 768p, and minimax-h3-max for text-to-video, first/last-frame image-to-video and reference-to-video. Video create calls accept an Idempotency-Key, and a replay returns the original job. Sume's docs do not state how the license territory applies to a hosted call, so ask MiniMax and your counsel rather than inferring it from a catalog id.
