MiniMax M3

MiniMax-M3

MiniMax M3 is described as a frontier multimodal foundation model with a 1M-token context window, built for long-horizon agentic work, coding, and tool use. Model cards highlight MiniMax Sparse Attention and much lower long-context cost compared with earlier generations. The model is best introduced as a production-oriented multimodal agent model for large context, software tasks, and collaborative workflows.
