MiniMax H3 Max Turbo price: fal's rates, and the id Sume lists
fal prices H3 Max Turbo separately from H3 Max. Sume's docs list only minimax-h3-max; how to check the catalog, and what that id bills for 5 seconds.

fal lists H3 Max Turbo as its own endpoint with its own rates: $0.0125, $0.02 and $0.04 per second at 480p, 768p and 1080p through September 30, then $0.025, $0.04 and $0.08. Sume's docs list one MiniMax H3 Max id, minimax-h3-max, and no Turbo variant, so a Turbo price does not apply to a Sume job.
fal's figures are from its H3 Max Turbo page, read 2026-09-30. Sume's from the Video router and Video generation docs and its pricing code.
What does fal list for Turbo?
fal describes it as "a post-trained variant of MiniMax H3, tuned for stronger prompt adherence and better aesthetics".
| Question | Where to look | Answer today |
|---|---|---|
| Turbo rate per second | fal's Turbo page | Own rate card, separate from H3 Max |
| Is there a Turbo id on Sume | GET /v1/video-router/models | Docs name only minimax-h3-max |
| How Sume bills a listed id | Video generation docs | Provider list × 1.25 |
Which MiniMax ids does Sume list?
Pick a catalog model id from GET /v1/video-router/models; the docs name minimax-h3-max (MiniMax H3 Max) for 480p, 768p and 1080p at 5 to 15 seconds. The docs do not mention a Turbo id, so read the live catalog rather than assuming one.
How do I check whether a Turbo id exists?
Ask the catalog instead of guessing. This lists the ids your key can see and flags any whose id mentions turbo.
const res = await fetch("https://api.sume.com/v1/video-router/models", {
headers: { Authorization: "Bearer " + process.env.SUME_API_KEY },
});
const body = await res.json();
const models = body.data ?? body.models ?? [];
const ids = models.map((m) => m.id ?? m.model).filter(Boolean);
console.log(ids.filter((id) => id.includes("minimax")));
console.log("turbo listed:", ids.some((id) => id.includes("turbo")));What does the Sume id bill?
For minimax-h3-max at 768p, five seconds is $0.50. Rates for the other resolutions are in the H3 Max promo post.
What should I do if I need the Turbo price?
Use fal's page for fal's price. On Sume, plan with minimax-h3-max; see MiniMax H3 Max explained.
