• I've been using MiniMax H3 on my M5 Pro 64GB MacBook Pro through ComfyUI. It works extremely well.

    I had to modify the default ComfyUI workflows to use a GGUF quant (city96's ComfyUI-GGUF custom node, UnetLoaderGGUF in place of the stock loader) [0].

    I use the model labeled Q5_K_M. There is Q8_0 available as well, which is 34GB and fits fine in 64GB unified memory if you keep resolution modest.

    The main issue is speed, a ~9-second 480x864 clip at 20 steps takes me a bit over an hour. So this will be cool to try for the speed up alone.

    There's a lot of great information and workflows available to follow on the r/StableDiffusion subreddit.

    • I wonder how much faster your m5 pro is compared to my M1 Max @ 64gb
  • In the AMA Minimax said that H3 could support indexed attention, that would be a huge speedup! I wonder if there are any news on that. H3 is very cool.
  • This still requires 128Gb of memory, right? Me and my lowly 96Gb, like a commoner; missing out on the fun.
    • From README:

      > On the 128 GB M5 Max, clean end-to-end image+audio and embedded-video+audio renders completed in 74.58 and 76.99 seconds respectively, each with about a 40.1 GB peak physical footprint and zero swaps.

      Looks like it uses 40GB? So your 96GB mac setup should work fine i guess (Model itself is 33B)

      • This repo looks neat, but I hope they add some more clear benchmarks because that time (74.58s) is pretty meaningless given that the it/s (and total time) is highly dependent on mode (T2V vs I2V vs REF2V), resolution (0.4, 0.6mp, etc), duration (5-15 seconds), etc.
  • This is where the DGX spark makes up a bit of the ground it loses on llm work, diffusion and cuda go together like peanut butter and jelly.
  • wow antirez does not sleep
    • Wow, had to check some of his other repos; his the one behind dump1090
    • Understatement of the year :-D
    • when you have enough money to not have to worry about anything, you can go back to your hobbies. in this case, his hobby is programming.
      • Being a world class talent is independent of financial situation.
        • talent w/o financial stability is a battery w/o circuit.
      • "enough money not to worry about anything" haha
  • I'd love to know what the alternatives are and how this is better
  • How similar are Jeff Dean and Salvatore Sanfilippo?
    • People are really good at stuff.

      I noticed on a bar TV the other day that some of the Chromecast screensaver landscape photo credits were to Peter Norvig. They were really lovely pictures.

    • My favorite Jeff Dean fact is that he’s also antirez. Which reminds me of my favorite Salvatore Sanfilippo fact. He’s also Jeff Dean
      • I'm totally following this
      • Is that what the identity function is?
        • It's why javascript had to add the triple equals check...
          • 2 is not enough. 3 verifies the Dean-Sanfilippo correspondence.
