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.
