  • Gen-3 Alpha Video to Video gen3/video updated to include seconds parameter.

  • The article Fun with MiniMax API has been updated to deal with 502 and 504 MiniMax response codes (MiniMax website is too busy).

  • Recommendations for maxJobs updated for MiniMax accounts/post and videos/create:

    Please set maxJobs number according to your subscription plan. We recommend setting it to 2 (3 maximum) for Free, and 3 (4 maximum) for Standard and Unlimited plans. Although you can set it to higher values (3 for Free and 5 for Standard and Unlimited respectively), it won’t make any difference since only one video can be processed at a time for Free accounts, and no more than two for Standard and Unlimited accounts. It’s helpful to have a spare empty slot for cases where the MiniMax website is too busy and responds with 502 or 504 while still accepting jobs into the internal queue.
