MiniMax-M3

MiniMaxAI · MiniMax-M3

MiniMax-M3 is a native multimodal model with 1M context. It has ~428B parameters and ~23B activated parameters. **Highlights:** - **Native Multimodality:** M3 undergoes mixed-modality training from the very first step, enabling deeper semantic fusion across text, image, and video. - **Context Scaling via Sparse Attention:** M3 introduces MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA) to improve long context efficiency. M3 delivers 9× prefill and 15× decode speedups compared to M2 at 1M context, reducing per-token compute to 1/20. - **Coding & Cowork Capability:** M3 achieves frontier-level performance across long-horizon agentic benchmarks, excelling in both coding and cowork. M3 is powered by **MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA)**, a high-performance sparse attention operator designed for million-token contexts. Compared with GQA, MSA dramatically reduces the attention compute and memory footprint while preserving model quality.

Frequently asked questions

Do open weights permit free commercial use?

Not necessarily. Check the version license, commercial conditions and usage policies. Self-hosting incurs compute and maintenance costs.

Are these real-time billing prices?

These are timestamped source snapshots, not live billing prices. Check the channel for current versions, regions, discounts and billing methods.
