MiniMax M3 combines a 1M-token context with native image and video input plus computer use. Its distinctive feature is an interactive user simulator that reproduces requirement clarification, feedback, and project iteration for training and evaluation. Custom sparse attention supports these long coding and agent runs.

MiniMax describes M3 as the new generation after MiniMax M2.7, explicitly called the stable point release of the previous line. Thinking can be toggled, with the API and released weights as separate access paths. The model identity therefore combines coding, agent work, and native multimodality.
