What happened

Pruna AI GmbH, a company registered in Munich, sells video generation through an API. Its terms, last updated on 13 October 2026, say two of its models, p-video-2-pro and p-video-2-pro-reference, are based on MiniMax H3 and carry the use restrictions of the MiniMax H3 Community License Agreement.

Section 7.2 of the terms makes one exception. Item 1 of the licence's Exhibit A, its acceptable use policy, on "use outside the Applicable Territory", does not apply to use of these models through Pruna's service. Pruna's open-weight image model P-H3-Image, released on 3 November and also built on H3, is distributed under the same licence. Its model card says the licence excludes the European Union, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Korea and the United States unless the user holds a separate licence from MiniMax.

Why it matters

For makers in the EU and the UK, Pruna's terms present its API as a paid way to use H3-based video, a model family whose licence otherwise excludes their territories. Pruna lists p-video-2-pro at US$0.01 to US$0.155 per second, depending on resolution, from 480p to 4K, and mode. The terms also bar using the two models, their outputs or results to train or improve any other AI model.

Still open

As of 13 November 2026, the terms do not define the Applicable Territory or say whether MiniMax approved the exception. Two further H3-based models in Pruna's catalogue, p-video-2-pro-avatar and p-video-2-pro-replace, are not named in section 7.2.
