+# Qwen3-VL Text Encoders for MiniMax-H3
+
+Modified Qwen3-VL text encoders for MiniMax-H3 T2V in ComfyUI.
+
+This repository contains only text encoders, recovery adapters, and evidence. It does not contain a MiniMax-H3 diffusion model or VAE.

+```
+
+## Use in ComfyUI
+
+Install `ComfyUI-MiniMaxH3TextEncoders`. It adds one node:
+
+`Load MiniMax H3 Text Encoder`
+
+Select one encoder. Connect its `CLIP` output to the official `MiniMaxH3ImageToVideo` node.
+
+All nodes after the loader are official ComfyUI MiniMax-H3 nodes.
+
+The loader applies ARA and the recovered 8B 4096-to-5120 adapter internally. No adapter, ARA, cache, or barrier node is needed.
+
+## Required official files
+
+Download these from [Comfy-Org/MiniMax-H3](https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/MiniMax-H3):
+
+- `diffusion_models/minimax_h3_fl2va_pruned_int8_convrot.safetensors`
+- `vae/minimax_h3_video_vae_fp16.safetensors`
+- `vae/minimax_h3_audio_vae_fp32.safetensors`
+
+## Encoder variants
+
+| Variant | Base | Extra weights | Output width | Scope |
+|---|---|---|---:|---|
+| Recovered 8B BF16 | Qwen3-VL-8B, 24 language layers | ARA + adapter | 5120 | Text-only T2V |
+| Recovered 8B INT8 ConvRot | Same 24 layers, native Comfy INT8 ConvRot | ARA + adapter | 5120 | Text-only T2V |
+| Pruned-24 balanced | Qwen3-VL-32B-derived sparse 24-block INT8 ConvRot | balanced ARA | 5120 | Text-only T2V |
+
+`ConvRot` describes base-weight storage and runtime quantization. It does not replace the recovered 8B adapter. The adapter is a nonlinear 4096-to-5120 module and is executed by the loader.
+
+## Validation and limits
+
+The showcase used one matched 1344x768, 243-frame, 24 FPS, 25-step T2V contract. The three source outputs and merged comparison are technical assets. They do not establish a visual-quality winner. The recovered 8B showcase uses the BF16 base; the INT8 ConvRot variant has separate numerical conditioning-parity evidence.
+
+The requested hard cuts at 3 and 7 seconds did not pass for any encoder. Read `evidence/cut_diagnostics.json` before using the showcase as prompt-adherence evidence.
+
+The recovered 8B and pruned-24 variants were validated for text-only T2V. Do not use them for image, first-frame, last-frame, or reference inputs.
+
+## License and provenance
+
+The Qwen-derived text-encoder weights, ARA weights, and conditioning adapter in this repository are released under Apache-2.0. See `LICENSE` and `NOTICE`.
