·2026.08.13 20:33

Key point

The community license for the MiniMax H3 model explicitly prohibits usage in South Korea, the US, the EU, and the UK.

Details

Upon reviewing the Community License for the MiniMax H3 model, the US, the EU, the UK, and South Korea are explicitly listed as 'Excluded Territories'.

The license does not permit using, copying, modifying, distributing the model, or displaying its Outputs within these excluded territories. In other words, users in these regions running the model, operating services based on it, or distributing its outputs may constitute a license violation.

Key Points:

  • Excluded Territories: South Korea, the US, the EU, the UK
  • Prohibited Actions: Exercising license rights such as running, modifying, distributing the model, and utilizing its outputs
  • Resolution: Users in these regions must request and obtain a separate license from MiniMax to use the model

The fact that the model is publicly available on Hugging Face does not automatically grant permission for use in these regions; therefore, license terms must be strictly verified when adopting the model.
