# 2026-08-20 Daily Review

## Scope

Reviewed the current MiniMax, Z-Image, LTX, and FLUX.2-klein source packs against the maintained optimized layer.

## Repo updates

- Updated `optimized/image-to-video/README.md` so the category index now lists the maintained `MiniMax H3` best-current R2V master.
- Refreshed `optimized/image-to-video/minimax-h3-best-current-r2v-master-480p-3x10s/README.md` with the current Ref2VA prompt hierarchy and the same-day MiniMax donor context.

## Notes updated

- `optimized/notes/minimax.md`
- `optimized/notes/ltx.md`
- `optimized/notes/zimage.md`
- `optimized/notes/flux2klein.md`

## Best first test

- Validate the maintained `MiniMax H3` best-current R2V master on the `3070` with the new prompt hierarchy, then compare it against the same-day `javawock7618` `INT8 R2V` donor if time allows.

## What still needs proof

- Whether the same-day `MiniMax H3` donor is actually practical on Chris's box.
- Whether `Z-Image` edit workflows meaningfully beat the current FLUX edit baseline.
- Whether `LTX-2.5` reference control is strong enough to justify a future promoted master.
