| Description | |
| Summary | MiniMax-M3 is a multimodal foundation model from MiniMax, supporting text, image, and video inputs with text output and a 1M-token context window. It is designed for long-horizon agentic workflows, coding, and tool-driven task execution, enabling sustained reasoning across complex tasks. Built on MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA), the model dramatically improves long-context efficiency by replacing full attention with KV-block selection, reducing compute costs at 1M-token contexts while maintaining strong performance. Trained as a native multimodal model and optimized for multi-turn, production-style collaboration, MiniMax-M3 excels at extended, multi-step workflows rather than single-turn interactions. |
