MiniMax
MiniMax M1 was MiniMax’s first openly available large-scale hybrid-reasoning checkpoint. It combines 456B total parameters, 45.9B active parameters, and up to 1M tokens of context with hybrid attention aimed at long reasoning traces and large inputs. API access complements local use of the weights.
MiniMax says M1 was developed from the text model in MiniMax-01.

One SVG prompt and fixed output settings. Captures are shown only with 0 reported reasoning tokens or documented lack of reasoning controls. Identical test conditions do not make the models' internal compute identical.
