Summary

Adds a troubleshooting note to the MiniMax H3 open-weights page about quality degradation caused by INT8 attention quantization:

  • Symptom: morphing near the end of a clip and garbled on-screen text when running with Sage Attention
  • Cause: H3's last blocks concentrate most of their attention-key signal into a few channels; INT8 kernels that round each row with a single shared scale lose part of that signal
  • Fix: switch the dense attention backend to the built-in Comfy Kitchen attention (Model Attention Backend node, category model/patch, or the --use-ck-attention launch flag). Its INT8 kernel applies a channel rotation before quantizing, preserving that signal at a speed comparable to Sage Attention. Running affected blocks in bfloat16 attention is an alternative with longer render times.

Verified against ComfyUI source: ModelAttentionBackend node (comfy_extras/nodes_model_advanced.py), --use-ck-attention flag (comfy/cli_args.py), comfy-kitchen dependency in requirements.txt.

Changes

  • tutorials/video/minimax/minimax-h3.mdx (new subsection under Speeding up generation with Sage Attention)
  • zh/ja/ko translations of the same subsection (manual translation + sync-hash)

No unrelated files touched.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The MiniMax H3 tutorials add guidance about native-resolution generation, separate upscaling, and step counts. They also document INT8 attention artifacts, Comfy Kitchen attention configuration, checkpoint compatibility, and bfloat16 alternatives. Localized tutorials update translation metadata hashes.

Changes

MiniMax H3 tutorial guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolution guidance
tutorials/video/minimax/minimax-h3.mdx, ja/tutorials/video/minimax/minimax-h3.mdx, ko/tutorials/video/minimax/minimax-h3.mdx, zh/tutorials/video/minimax/minimax-h3.mdx
Adds guidance to generate at the native canvas before a separate upscale for 2K output. It states that higher step counts improve motion quality rather than sharpness.
INT8 attention guidance
tutorials/video/minimax/minimax-h3.mdx, ja/tutorials/video/minimax/minimax-h3.mdx, ko/tutorials/video/minimax/minimax-h3.mdx, zh/tutorials/video/minimax/minimax-h3.mdx
Documents INT8 attention artifacts and Comfy Kitchen attention configuration. It also documents INT8-convrot incompatibility, PyTorch fallback behavior, and bfloat16 attention as an alternative.
Localized metadata synchronization
ja/tutorials/video/minimax/minimax-h3.mdx, ko/tutorials/video/minimax/minimax-h3.mdx, zh/tutorials/video/minimax/minimax-h3.mdx
Updates the translation source hash and Sage Attention translation block hash in the localized tutorials.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 57618

Localized translation tracking may miss future source changes, but the documentation remains usable and the metadata fix is narrowly scoped.

In `@tutorials/video/minimax/minimax-h3.mdx`:
- Around line 93-95: The H3 documentation overgeneralizes Comfy Kitchen
attention and its availability. Update the guidance in the referenced English
page and corresponding Japanese, Korean, and Chinese pages to identify the
affected checkpoint combination, state its current sampling-crash limitation,
and avoid prescribing PyTorch attention without a compatibility guarantee. Make
availability conditional on the INT8 module being present, noting that
unavailable backends fall back to PyTorch attention; remove unconditional claims
that it ships with ComfyUI or requires no installation.

…vrot checkpoints

- Document the known crash (upstream ComfyUI issue #15529) when Comfy
  Kitchen attention is used with INT8-convrot quantized H3 checkpoints,
  and point those users to the bfloat16 workaround instead
- Make backend availability conditional: the comfy-kitchen package ships
  with ComfyUI, but the option only appears when INT8 kernels are
  available; otherwise ModelAttentionBackend falls back to PyTorch
  attention
- Apply to EN/JA/KO/ZH, translation hashes synced

The flag was added in ComfyUI v0.32.0 (PR #15479); the tutorial pages
require 0.30.0+, where the flag does not exist yet. Applied to
EN/JA/KO/ZH, translation hashes synced.

Regenerate the output-resolution translation hashes.

The English Setting the output resolution block changed, but all localized pages retain the prior block hash. Regenerate the metadata so translation tooling can detect source changes correctly.

  • ja/tutorials/video/minimax/minimax-h3.mdx#L12-L12: update the Setting the output resolution block hash.
  • ko/tutorials/video/minimax/minimax-h3.mdx#L12-L12: update the Setting the output resolution block hash.
  • zh/tutorials/video/minimax/minimax-h3.mdx#L12-L12: update the Setting the output resolution block hash.

The PR identifies these fields as translation synchronization metadata.
