Summary

• Add MiniMax-H3-Image text-to-image generation and multi-reference editing with combined single-file checkpoints.
• Support the audio-free DiT, six-step PDD sampling, and dedicated 2D image VAE while reusing the H3 text encoder.
• Add a CLI sigma preset, a server recipe with 1024 × 1024 defaults, usage documentation, and a News entry.

Walkthrough

This change adds MiniMax-H3-Image support, including model recognition, image-specific VAE and diffusion paths, reference-image processing, and documentation and recipe updates.

Changes: MiniMax-H3-Image

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Model identity and registration src/model.h, src/model_loader.cpp, src/model/integrations/minimax_h3.cpp	Adds the image model version and predicate. The loader identifies qualifying audio-free checkpoints, and the integration registers MiniMax-H3-Image with image-specific settings.
Image VAE support src/model/vae/minimax_h3_vae.hpp, src/pipeline/model_builders.cpp	Makes decoder dimensions configurable and adds a 2D ViT decoder path. The model builder checks the required projection and embedder tensor dimensions.
PDD and audio-free inference src/model/diffusion/minimax_h3.hpp, src/runtime/denoiser.hpp, src/pipeline/diffusion_engine.cpp, examples/common/common.cpp	Adds the PDD sigma schedule and head blending. The denoiser and diffusion engine use that schedule for the image version, while the transformer and runner handle absent audio output. The example options expose the sigma preset.
Reference-image processing src/pipeline/image.cpp, src/conditioning/conditioner.hpp	Adds H3 image reference resizing and latent preparation. Positive and unconditional conditioning can attach reference blocks for MiniMax H3 image versions, which use the Picture N: prompt label.
Usage and recipe documentation README.md, docs/minimax_h3_image.md, examples/server/recipes/*	Documents model components, text-to-image and reference-editing commands, and image sizing. Adds the server recipe and README links.
