- R · What Makes It Special
- MiniMax-M3, MiniMax's open-weight flagship (about 428B total and 23B active parameters), trained natively on mixed modalities from the first step: it takes image and video input and can operate a desktop computer. Its MiniMax Sparse Attention gives a 1M-token context with more than 9x faster prefill and 15x faster decoding than M2 at that length; MiniMax reports 59.0% on SWE-Bench Pro and 66.0% on Terminal-Bench 2.1, and it offers enabled, adaptive and disabled reasoning modes.
