What is this?
FreeVideo is a local inference engine that lets you run the MiniMax H3 video generation model on your own consumer GPU instead of a cloud service, adapting its memory and compute strategy to your hardware.

On an existing ComfyUI install, add FreeVideo as a custom node via Workflow to Browse Templates.
