Can I use MiniMax H3 in the EU or the United States? Not under the default license. Section V.4 says you may not use, reproduce, modify, distribute, or display the works or any of their Outputs outside the Applicable Territory, and the four excluded regions are named explicitly.

Yes. Sogni has received written authorization directly from MiniMax to offer MiniMax H3 through the Sogni platform.

The published weights remain under the MiniMax H3 Community License Agreement, which governs self-hosted deployments rather than generations you run on Sogni. For Creative Agent, write a compact shot brief: subject and setting, action over time, camera framing and movement, visual style, then dialogue, ambience, effects, and music. The agent expands it for H3. Direct SDK users should follow MiniMax's structured three-field prompt guide.
