MiniMax M3 turns long-context AI into an agent platform test
MiniMax launched M3 on June 1, 2026, combining long-context, agentic, coding and native multimodal capabilities in one model line.
The API supports up to 1 million tokens of context, with a guaranteed minimum of 512K tokens, and includes M3 and M3-highspeed versions.
MiniMax plans to open-source M3 on HuggingFace and GitHub, while early pricing offers a 50% discount for the first seven days.
