# Hermes Agent x MiniMax H3

Use one RunAPI model ID for text-to-video and image-to-video. Reference mode accepts up to 9 images, 3 videos, and 3 audio clips; audio references must accompany an image or video reference.

## Public versions and endpoints

| Model ID | Version | Endpoints | Starting price |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `minimax-h3` | 4–15s video at up to 2K from text, first/final frames, or multimodal references | /api/v1/minimax_h3/text_to_video, /api/v1/minimax_h3/image_to_video | $0.370 |

## Configuration

Set `RUNAPI_API_KEY`, then create a request with `<model-id>` at `<endpoint>`. Poll only when the endpoint returns an asynchronous Task.

```shell
export RUNAPI_API_KEY=your_api_key

curl -X POST https://runapi.ai/api/v1/minimax_h3/text_to_video \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RUNAPI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "model": "minimax-h3",
  "prompt": "A slow aerial view of a quiet coastline at sunrise.",
  "aspect_ratio": "16:9"
}'
```

POST /api/v1/minimax_h3/text_to_video and save the returned Task id.
GET /api/v1/minimax_h3/text_to_video/<task-id> until status is completed or failed.
Verify the completed response contains the endpoint-specific output documented in the API reference.

## Additional operations


## How it works

1. **Choose a model ID.** Select a public catalog model ID and review its endpoint and current starting price.
2. **Configure RunAPI.** Set RUNAPI_API_KEY before making the endpoint request.
3. **Verify the result.** For asynchronous endpoints, poll the same endpoint until the Task reaches a terminal status.

## FAQ

### Which model ID should I use?

Choose a public model ID from the version table. Each ID exposes the endpoints shown for that version.

### Does this guide configure a chat model?

No. This Model Line uses the endpoint workflow shown here and is not presented as an agent chat model.
