MiniMax Launches M3 Open-Weights Model With 1 Million-Token Context
MiniMax launched M3, an open-weights AI model aimed at coding and agentic tasks, with a 1 million-token context window enabled by sparse attention and native multimodal inputs. The company reported scores of 59.0% on SWE-Bench Pro, 66.0% on Terminal Bench 2.1, 34.8% on SWE-fficiency, 28.8% on KernelBench Hard and 74.2% on MCP Atlas.
M3 is available through MiniMax's API and was rolled out on launch day through services including OpenRouter, Arena and Ollama's Cloud. MiniMax said standard API usage for up to 512,000 tokens of context will be discounted 50% for the first seven days and that model weights and a technical report are due in about 10 days; Ollama said its deployment is currently capped at 512,000 tokens while it prepares support for the full 1 million-token window.

@minimax_aiRT @jiayuan_jy: 已经测试一个早上了，目前体感上接近 Opus 4.7（还需要进一步测试）。 用 M3 来写代码，Opus 4.8 + GPT5.5 来做对抗式的 code review，效果还不错。 已经完成了 1 个 PR
