Sora 2 Pro vs MiniMax H3 2K, on one prompt.

We gave both models the same photo and the same prompt. Below are both clips, what each one did, what each cost, and the specs side by side. Sora 2 Pro held the frame still; MiniMax H3 pushed the boat toward the lens through choppy water and ran longer. In the text test both tilted up to the sky, and both kites stayed large in the frame.

Sora 2 Pro: 5 credits a second (~$2.00) MiniMax H3 2K: 1.3 credits a second (~$0.52) One credit balance for both
