MiniMax opens Music 3.0 weights: full 5-min songs, no region lock
The ~11B open model makes complete vocal tracks on one GPU, free to ship under $20M — as open video gets faster and a new agent formalizes math proofs.

Complete songs, not 30-second clips
Music 3.0 generates a full five-minute track in a single pass — 32 kHz stereo, expressive vocals you steer by gender and timbre, and song structure you tag with [Verse]/[Chorus] right in the lyrics. It's the ~11B-parameter open-weights model MiniMax released on Aug 13.
No territorial carve-out this time
The Community License is free for individuals and companies under $20M in yearly revenue, with no geographic exclusion — unlike MiniMax's H3 video weights 11 days earlier, which barred the US, EU, UK, and South Korea. If you build in those markets, this one is actually usable.
Runs where you already work
Reference workflows ship for ComfyUI (0.33.0+), SGLang-Omni, and diffusers, with CPU offload pulling it down to roughly 8 GB of VRAM. The repo is about 57 GB, so start the download before your weekend session.
Elsewhere: open video keeps getting faster
Lightricks' open-weights LTX-2.5 turns a still image into a 10-second clip in 6.8 seconds on Nvidia's newest superchips, adds native multishot scenes, and carries synchronized audio — free to ship under $10M revenue. Pair it with Music 3.0 for a fully local video-plus-score pipeline.
Also new: a coding agent that proves math
MathCode, an open-source terminal agent trending on Hacker News, turns plain-English math into Lean 4 theorems and tries to prove them — persistent Lean REPL, Mathlib lemmas, and parallel subgoal search, running on the Codex CLI by default. A weekend build for anyone touching formal verification.
