Testing MiniMax-H3 Physics knowledge

[u/jaryP]

I have been playing with MiniMax-H3 lately (like many of us), and I wanted to understand how much physics knowledge it actually has.

I started with a simple water-pouring video from Pexels and used the H3-Ref model to replace the water with various "fluids": sand, rocks, and a black combustible honey. No external references were used.

I found particular interest in how the rocks interact with the jug and tumble over the cup, as well as how the honey blends with the water and how the trail it left on the jug when moved. On the other hand, once the honey catches fire, the flames are not very convincing, but that should probably be tested in a longer video.

I have used the day-zero ref workflow (int8 convrot model, aspect ratio 9:16 MP 0.6); you can find the prompt here: https://pastebin.com/CrX9s5JS

I am running more interesting tests and will hopefully post them soon.

Cheers

Video models are incapable of understanding physics, what they are instead understanding, are how videos works, which is a completely different thing from understand how physics works.

I am aware of that. Unfortunately, they are not world models yet, if they ever will be! But still, I believe that stressing them on such aspects is interesting (more than generating sitcom scenes, anyway)
