 "title": "Generate a 4-step audio-video clip from a text prompt",
 "page_title": "How to generate a 4-step audio-video clip from a text prompt with DMAD",
 "summary": "Run the DMAD 4-step LoRA on MiniMax-H3 to turn one text prompt into a 5.2 s video with stereo audio.",
 "who": "A creator or developer with an 80 GB GPU who wants a quick text-to-audio-video clip from one prompt.",
 "problem": "Full MiniMax-H3 sampling uses 50 steps, which is slow for quick drafts of audio-video clips.",
 "outcome": "An MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio, written to the output folder with a settings.json file.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `conda create -n dmad_h3 python=3.12 -y`, then run `conda activate dmad_h3`.",
  "Install PyTorch with `pip install torch==2.11.0 torchvision==0.26.0 torchaudio==2.11.0 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu126`, then run `pip install -r requirements.txt`.",
  "Accept the MiniMax H3 Community License on Hugging Face, then run `hf download MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-H3 --local-dir models/MiniMax-H3 --exclude \"FL2VA/*\" --exclude \"Ref2VA/*\" --exclude \"transformer_ref/*\"`. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Run `hf download ZhengmingYu/DMAD --include \"minimax_h3/*_critic.safetensors\" --local-dir ckpt` after running `mkdir -p ckpt`.",
  "Run `python inference.py --model-dir models/MiniMax-H3 --lora ckpt/minimax_h3/dmad_minimax_h3_4step_lora_critic.safetensors --prompt \"A polar bear is playing the violin in the snow.\" --output-dir outputs/polar_bear`. (inferred, check the README)"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the Yzmblog/DMAD repo, set up the environment from the README, download the MiniMax-H3 components and the lora_critic checkpoint, then run inference.py with the prompt <your prompt> and --output-dir outputs/<name>. Expected output: an MP4 in outputs/<name>/ with H.264 video and AAC audio. Verify that the file plays and that settings.json exists in the same folder.",
