Pick H3 Max when…

You want fast iteration with strong prompt adherence and synchronized audio, and 768p is enough for the destination — social video, previews, drafts and most web use.

Pick standard H3 when…

You need 2K output, or the shot depends on references: a character from an image, motion from a clip or a voice from an audio file. Omni Reference is available on standard H3, not on H3 Max.

Pick H3 Max Turbo when…

You specifically want the Turbo endpoint. It is a separate model from H3 Max with separate pricing; each route is labelled with its real name in the selector.
