## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability fal-ai-queue-minimax-h3-max-text-to-video-800308b4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you generate a short video of a lone astronaut walking across a glowing alien landscape at dusk, cinematic style, using MiniMax H3 Max?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need high-quality AI video generation from a text prompt and can tolerate async/batch processing latency. Prefer this over synchronous video endpoints when generation time is expected to exceed ~100 seconds. The MiniMax H3 Max model is well-suited for cinematic, realistic, and creative video scenes. Choose this when quality matters over speed, and your workflow supports polling for results.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or empty text prompt returns a 400 error
- Insufficient USDC balance causes payment failure before job is queued
- Model overload may cause extended queue wait times or timeouts
- Prompt violates content policy and is rejected
- Polling for a non-existent or expired request_id returns a 404
- Network interruption during polling may require retry logic

## How this service works

MiniMax H3 Max - text-to-video (async, dynamic pricing)

## Output

Returns a request_id immediately upon submission. The agent must poll the fal.ai queue status endpoint using this request_id (polling is free) until the video generation completes, at which point the result contains a URL to the generated video clip.
