About this tool

OpenVideo is an open-source, self-hostable video generation tool focused on generating high-quality video locally on your GPU. It is built around the MiniMax H3 model, uses ComfyUI as the render engine, and offers both a CLI and an agent skill harness. The install process creates a Python virtual environment and installs ComfyUI, after which you can generate a film from the command line by supplying a prompt. It also ships a packaged skill for agent hosts such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode, aimed at crafting high-quality prompts. OpenVideo is Apache 2.0 licensed, supports Linux and macOS, and follows a free/freemium model. It is aimed at local GPU users, AI developers, video creators, and agent users.
