What the table does not settle

An open-weights model against a hosted one, matched on the facts that make them comparable: both state fifteen-second clips with native audio and both document image-to-video. MiniMax H3 states a 2K ceiling and publishes its weights under a community licence [1]; Kling VIDEO 3.0 states a native 4K tier and publishes nothing you can download [2].

That difference changes what a win would even mean. A vote for H3 is a vote for one deployment of a model that anyone can re-host, fine-tune or quantise; a vote for Kling is a vote for the one deployment that exists. The arena records preferences between clips, so read any eventual result as being about these specific generations, not about the licence.

Run the same brief through both models yourself before anyone's leaderboard tells you which to use: generate the pair on AIContentDrop · route the job through MCP.
