The 30-Second Watchdog That Ate a Four-Hour Render: Long-Form MiniMax H3 on Two RTX PRO 6000
A 15s arcade-to-live-action video edit on H3 failed four different ways before it succeeded: cudnn graph crashes on long sequences, a 30s async-output watchdog that throws away finished renders, flashinfer kernels that require tcgen05 MMA my RTX PRO 6000s don’t have, and a finisher script that reported failure after succeeding. The winning recipe: patch the watchdog via bind-mount, CUDNN_ATTN, 540p reference, 1h45m end to end.
