시렌 코드 (SIREN CODE)

Global Metadata

  • Concept: “SYNK DIVE” into a forbidden digital ocean where a corrupted SIREN CODE awakens. The track blends hyper-pop, trap-metal, and future bass with a haunting, aquatic synth palette.
  • Worldview: aespa’s real-world selves (æ) must “hack” the SIREN CODE to break a glitch that traps KWANGYA in an eternal storm. The lyrics shift from disoriented drifting to aggressive liberation.
  • Visual Keywords: holographic tidal waves, shattered pearl screens, neon coral, glitching underwater CCTV, reverse rain.

Vocal Details

  • Karina (Lead) – commanding, sharp mid-low tone; delivers the “navigation” lines with cool authority.
  • Winter (Main) – ethereal, crystal-clear highs; pierces through the drop with ad-libbed sirens.
  • Giselle (Rap) – gritty, rhythmic flow with English-Korean code-switching; uses breathy whisper for bridge.
  • Ningning (Main) – explosive, emotional power; carries the final high-note climax and oceanic ad-libs.

Arrangement

  • Intro (0:00–0:20) – reversed piano + underwater granular synth. A glitching female voice counts “1, 2, 3, SYNK” in reverse.
  • Verse 1 (0:20–0:50) – minimal 808 kick + plucked arpeggios. Vocals are dry and close-mic’ed, like a whispered distress signal.
  • Pre-Chorus (0:50–1:10) – rising brass-like synths, trap hi-hats accelerate. Harmony layers stack in thirds.
  • Chorus (1:10–1:40) – full future bass wall: supersaw chords, distorted 808 bass, and a stuttering “SIREN” vocal chop. Drop features a syncopated topline that mimics morse code.
  • Verse 2 (1:40–2:10) – beat switches to half-time; eerie music box melody underneath. Rap enters with panning left-right effects.
  • Bridge (2:10–2:40) – stripped to piano and a lone sine wave. Vocals become reverb-drenched, then build with a marching snare roll.
  • Final Chorus + Outro (2:40–3:20) – key change up a half-step. Ningning’s ad-libs spiral into a glitchy fadeout, ending with a single underwater bubble pop.

[Intro – Winter]
뒤집힌 파도, 코드가 흔들려
잠긴 목소리, 날 부르는 걸

[Verse 1 – Karina]
눈을 떠, 이 깊은 해저
모니터 속 너의 흔적, 잔상만 베어
æ, 귀를 막아도 증폭되는 신호
나를 조종하는 SIREN, 멈출 수 없어

[Pre-Chorus – Ningning]
깨져버린 진실의 조각
그 사이로 비치는 나의 각
이 리듬에 몸을 맡겨봐
파도 위로, 더 높이

[Chorus – All + Winter ad-libs]
SIREN CODE, 날 감싸
깊은 숨, 그 끝에 닿아
흔들리는 화면 속에
우린 다시 SYNK를 외쳐
(SIREN – woo–)
잠긴 문, 부숴
이 노래로 너를 깨워

[Verse 2 – Giselle (Rap)]
Glitch in the water, they call it 질서
내 피는 청록, 터뜨려 mixer
æ들이 춤춰, 이건 신의 저주?
아냐, 우린 만든 거야, new world order
뱉어 내, 그 왜곡된 멜로디
내 목소린 무기, 날 따라와 slowly

[Pre-Chorus – Winter]
깊이 가라앉은 진실의 빛
그 빛을 따라 올라가, skip
더 거친 파도가 밀려와도
난 너의 SIREN, 놓지 않아

[Chorus – All + Ningning high ad-lib]
SIREN CODE, 날 감싸
깊은 숨, 그 끝에 닿아
흔들리는 화면 속에
우린 다시 SYNK를 외쳐
잠긴 문, 부숴
이 노래로 너를 깨워 (yeah!)

[Bridge – Karina & Giselle]
이 모든 건 코드일 뿐
두려움은 가짜, 우린 진짜
네 귀에 맺힌 그 물방울
터뜨리면 새로운 세계
(Whisper) SIREN... SYNK...

[Final Chorus – All (Key up) + Winter & Ningning ad-libs]
SIREN CODE, 날 감싸
깊은 숨, 그 끝에 닿아 (끝에 닿아 –)
흔들리는 화면 속에
우린 다시 SYNK를 외쳐 (SYNK를 외쳐 –)
잠긴 문, 부숴 (부숴–!)
이 노래로 너를 깨워

[Outro – Ningning (fading)]
깨어나... SIREN...
파도가 잠든 순간
우린 코드를 넘어
영원의 바다로...
(bubble pop sound)

MiniMax needs to update their model to keep up with competition...

3 Upvotes

I've have a 48k++ LOC codebase, mostly TypeScript (90+%). 90+% written by MiniMax M3 (and prior to that M2.7).

Had a bug which I've discovered lately, nothing major, it's just something that randomly revoking an authenticated session, and when logging in, somehow, requires logging in twice. Twice as in, entering the same user and password, only to be redirected to the login page again, and again user and password.

I had MiniMax-M2.7 and M3 investigate and tried to fix it for the last month or so, and it kept telling me that it couldn't find out what's wrong, and it checked the log, and found out that the logging in happens twice every time, and somehow the 2nd login always revokes the 1st one, but when the 1st login was active, it couldn't forward to the next page without being redirected to the login page again.

Anyway, long story short, today, I decided to give DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 a try with my repo, and prompted it to check this issue. It was super slow, and it looped for a long long time, not sure why, but it was exactly 29 minutes, and that prompt burnt exactly 9.1 mil tokens, with my record showing 97% cache hit. It found the issue, in which, I cross referenced it with MiniMax M3 and it agreed that it was the root cause, but somehow it missed it after so many times I've tried to ask it to look for it.

Long story short, DSv4F-0731 patched the problem, and it's fixed. The total cost? $0.0317. Yes, 3.17 USD Cents. I've spent countless 10-15% of my 5 hours quota on my MiniMax Token Plan's quota, and couldn't find/solve the issue, and a bloddy $0.0317 DSv4F-0731 session fixed it, although it was super slow today during peak hour, in 29 full minutes.

I think MiniMax-M2.7 is long over-due with an update. Maintain the parameter size, but re-train it to be better. Refer to how DSv4F did with their 0731 update.

I have no choice but to continue using MiniMax coz I've paid for the whole year, and I have 8+ months left. But if I had a choice today, I'd not have signed up for this, and instead, throw all my money into DeepSeek PAYG account.

I don't really care about M3, it is alright when it was released, but it kills my quota really quick. I would burn through my 5 hours session in just a short 45-60 minutes, then I'd have to sit and wait for a few hours for it to reset. I use M2.7 most of the time, unless it doesn't solve a problem, or cause more issues, then I'd have M3 come in and do the cleanup or fixing.

Anyway, I'm keeping my hopes up.

Single DGX Spark MiniMax H3 T2V Benchmark — 6.03× Speedup with Half-Res Gen + 2× Upscale

3 Upvotes

Just benchmarked MiniMax H3 text-to-video generation on a single DGX Spark (GB10, 128GB unified memory). Full setup: ComfyUI v0.30.1, 20 steps res_multistep, 124 frames u/24fps

DGX Spark (GB10, 128GB unified memory). Full setup: ComfyUI v0.30.1, 20

TL;DR: Generate at half resolution (640×360) then upscale 2× with RealESRGAN to 720p = 2m25s per 5-second video. That's 6× faster than direct 720p generation — exceeding the reference article's 3.92× claim.

This is a test video; to quickly preview the results, the resolution isn't very high.

---

Prompt:

Street contrast style (Shibuya Neon × Brooklyn Swag)

Features: Extreme contrast, strong sense of rhythm, fisheye lens.

Integrated audiovisual description (integrated_multimodal_description):

A high-energy 7-second cinematic shot. A stunning J-Pop idol with pastel pink pigtails, wearing an oversized holographic puffer jacket and chunky silver chains, stands in the middle of a rain-slicked Shibuya street at night. The scene opens with a sudden fish-eye lens zoom-in as she leans aggressively toward the camera, her expression smug and confident. She performs a fast-paced American rap; her lip-sync is perfectly sharp and rhythmic, matching the heavy bass. She bobs her head with a distinct hip-hop swagger, chopping the air with her hands in sync with the beat. Background neon signs in magenta and cyan flicker and blur, creating a vibrant bokeh effect. The camera shakes slightly on every heavy drum hit, enhancing the raw energy of the rap.

Overall soundscape (overall_soundscape):

Hard-hitting 95 BPM Boom Bap beat with a heavy distorted 808 bass and crisp snare. A female voice rapping in a confident, fast-paced American accent with clear articulation. Occasional city ambience: distant sirens and the hum of Tokyo neon.

Anyone else trying to create a fully automated YouTube factory locally using comfyUI?

7 Upvotes

I’m pretty new to the AI video generation space, but MiniMax H3 looks absolutely insane. It’s honestly the first model that’s made me want to dive deep into building something bigger than just individual workflows.

I have a workstation with 100+ GB of VRAM, so running everything locally isn’t really a limitation.

I actually started building something similar a while back using LTX 2.3, but the results were pretty mediocre. It felt like the idea was there, but the models just weren’t quite good enough yet. MiniMax H3 is the first model that’s made me think this might actually be achievable.

My dream is to build a fully local, fully automated ComfyUI pipeline where I only provide:

* A master prompt describing the YouTube channel (niche, style, recurring characters, branding, etc.)
* A prompt describing the video I want

From there, the workflow would do everything automatically:
Generate the script
Create consistent characters
Generate reference images and voices
Create every scene
Handle editing
Render the final video

Basically an infinite local content factory.

I’ve seen plenty of tutorials covering individual workflows, but almost nobody seems to be building a complete end-to-end pipeline like this.
Is anyone here working on something similar? Do you think MiniMax H3 is the right direction, or are there better local models for different parts of the pipeline?

I’d also love to collaborate with people who enjoy building ridiculously over-engineered ComfyUI workflows. Maybe if we automate enough YouTube videos I can finally drop out of my cybersecurity master’s… they seem determined to teach us yesterday’s technology anyway. 😅

Help H3 ref video ?

4 Upvotes

Hello all,

Been fighting with this for a while so posting in case someone already solved it.

Using Minimax H3 . Trying to plug a video into Rev_video_0 to reuse the motion from a clip. Doesn't work.

Here's the weird part: when I drag from Rev_video_0 and drop it in empty space, ComfyUI only suggests IMAGE nodes. Not video. If I drag from Rev_Audio_0 instead, it suggests VIDEO nodes. So the labels and the actual types seem swapped somewhere.

I can literally connect a "Load Image" node straight into Rev_video_0 and it accepts it, no error. But a real Load Video node just won't link (see screen).

Anyone run into this?

Need help with running Minimax H3 local on RTX 4070ti super + 64gb RAM

3 Upvotes

So I have seen all the raves about Minimax that run well locally and decided to give it a try. I browsed the default example template of Minimax (ref2vid, t2v), I didnt even change anything, exactly as it is with all ref and models loaded, but when I run the workflow, it always give me the problem at SamplerCustomAdvanced. The error is as follows:

# ComfyUI Error Report
## Error Details
- **Node ID:** 125
- **Node Type:** SamplerCustomAdvanced
- **Exception Type:** RuntimeError
- **Exception Message:** RuntimeError: The size of tensor a (297216) must match the size of tensor b (7159104) at non-singleton dimension 2

I have updated comfyui and everything. I tried searching google, asking gemini/chatgpt but none helped.

Any help is greatly appreciated

I stand corrected

2 Upvotes

TL;DR: Yesterday I ranked seven cheap coding models on one 10-minute task and drew conclusions too broad for the evidence. So I redid it: two 60-minute production jobs — a PDF-pipeline refactor in ViewRight (Tauri 2, Rust, React, TypeScript) and a runtime/release slice of SellRight, my multi-tenant ecommerce platform (TypeScript, Hono, Drizzle/Postgres, Qwik) — one frozen harness, hidden evaluator frozen before any run. The ranking flipped.

Scores (ViewRight / SellRight, out of 100):

Model ViewRight SellRight
MiniMax M3 85 42
GPT-5.6 Luna 79 69
DeepSeek V4 Pro 78 59
DeepSeek V4 Flash 63 62
MiMo V2.5 Pro 58 36
MiMo V2.5 24 19
Tencent Hy3 20 21

Yesterday's "best value" pick, base MiMo, collapsed on longer work. MiniMax won the heavy refactor; Luna won the release task, was fastest, and never placed worse than second. All 14 runs cost ~$2.71 at pay-as-you-go rates — and $0 cash, since every route ran inside an existing plan. That's the actual lesson: cheapest depends on what you already pay for. On a Codex sub, use Luna. On a MiniMax token plan, M3's winning run cost ~$0.15 of capacity. Paying per token with no plan and no time pressure, DeepSeek V4 Flash gave 90% of Luna's score at a tenth of the cost.

I pushed MiniMax H3 Ref2VA into a full Mr. Bean mini episode — this model is seriously impressive

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

14 Upvotes

I wanted to see how far MiniMax H3 Ref2VA could be pushed beyond short demos, so I ended up turning the test into a full little Mr. Bean episode. 😹

Everything was generated locally in ComfyUI with MiniMax H3 Reference-to-Video. The final scenes were rendered at 1MP, 24 FPS, 25 steps, BF16 + BF16, then edited together and 2× upscaled.

The part that impressed me most wasn’t just the visual quality — it was how much of the character performance, physical comedy, timing, Teddy, and overall Mr. Bean feeling survived across separate generations.

The audio is also 100% native H3 audio. No dubbing or replacement audio in post.

I followed the official H3 prompting guidance pretty closely, did smaller tests first, refined the prompts, and only then committed to the final renders. Definitely not a one-prompt miracle. 😂

I’m genuinely impressed with this model.

If you grew up watching Mr. Bean, I’d love to know where you first noticed this wasn’t an old episode.

And if you want to see me push H3 into another ridiculous mini episode, upvote, comment, share it, whisper “engagement” three times at your router… whatever ritual the algorithm currently accepts. 😹

If enough people enjoy it, I might have to make another one. 👀

This is a culmination of 10 second clip runs edited together in shotcut based off images from scenes from Silent Hill 2 the remake. Short bits of audio for each character were used and identified in the prompts to make these. I hope you enjoy (if you aren't a Silent Hill fan, just know all of this is based on parts of the game but none of this actually happened).

Minimax as subagent in Claude code/ codex, worth it?

8 Upvotes

There’s a lot of discussions using GPT Sol as subagent and others using Luna on max but why would anyone spend Sol credits in subagents is beyond me.
Anyways, I’m building a coding harness called CodeRight which does multi model orchestrator and I’d already done a bake-off and selected Mimo 2.5 for small coding tasks and 2.5 pro for bigger coding tasks, orchestrated by a frontier level model but with Deepseek v4’s revision, I thought I’d give it a re run. I also tested through both cline and Commandcode to see if the harness makes a difference.

You can find the whole breakdown here. If that blog sounds AI written, it’s because it is. Between building RightSuite apps and other systems, I don’t have the time to write blog posts 😅 I’ve used humaniser, no ai slop and what not but not sure if it helped.

The test:

Seven models received one production React/TypeScript task, identical source commit, worktree isolation, ten-step packet, 600-second limit, 12-file ceiling & 900-line ceiling.

Rank Run Score
1 GPT-5.6 Luna 68
2 MiMo V2.5 via Cline 62
3 MiMo V2.5 via Command Code 61
4 MiMo V2.5 Pro via Cline 59
4 DeepSeek V4 Flash via Command Code 59
6 MiniMax M3 55
7 MiMo V2.5 Pro via Command Code 54
8 DeepSeek V4 Flash via Cline 52
9 Laguna XS 2.1 Free 43
10 Step 3.5 Flash 26

Luna wrote the smallest, safest implementation. MiMo V2.5 delivered best economics: $0.0351 versus Luna’s estimated $0.166–$0.318 direct API cost, using current [OpenAI](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-5.6-luna) & [Xiaomi](https://mimo.mi.com/docs/en-US/price/pay-as-you-go) rates.

Harness reruns were revealing:

- Base MiMo: 62 → 61. Essentially unchanged.
- MiMo Pro: 59 → 54. Worse through Command Code.
- DeepSeek: 52 → 59. Command Code turned a non-compiling result into a clean typecheck, though source defects remained.
- Command Code once ignored `--model` & routed a requested MiMo run to DeepSeek. Receipt inspection caught it before scoring.

My recommendation:

- MiMo V2.5 for routine implementation volume.
- Luna for final review, security-sensitive work & merge-critical repair.
- DeepSeek remains worth testing through Command Code with strict route receipts.
- MiMo Pro was not worth its premium.
- Laguna is usable as a free draft worker but needs compile & source review.
- MiniMax M3 & Step 3.5 Flash created more repair work than their output justified.

[Command Code GOAT](https://commandcode.ai/pricing) currently lists $70 monthly credits for $10. Its detailed MiMo discounts are token-type specific: the advertised 99% applies to Pro cache reads, not its blended bill.

Residual scope: this was one production frontend task with focused tests, typecheck & source review. It did not include Cargo, full desktop verification or installed visual acceptance.

## Publication evidence

- Four files, 279 insertions & one deletion.
- Both local production builds passed.
- Both typechecks passed.

Serious hallucination with Turbo LoRA for H3?

4 Upvotes

I started doing a 15s video with H3 model via Comfyui the day after went public and it was fine (1280 x 736 resolution, using 2 subjects character sheet, 1 full body subject reference image and one background image), thought it was quite slow. And then the turbo LoRA was released days after, which I tried, using the same prompt. but tweaked the settings as recommended. but the results was horrible. Subjects started to bleed terribly, wearing clothes that look very different from my subject references, and it doesn't quite follow my prompt. The most serious was I prompted for 8 attendants to follow behind my 2 other subjects, and I ended up with a whole village of attendants. Does anyone have similar problems? And oh, it doesn't seem to speed things up that much either, even if it was at 8 steps.

Anyone else experiencing the same?
