MiniMax M3
MiniMax M3 is a frontier-level multimodal language model built for long-horizon coding, agentic workflows, and complex reasoning. It introduces MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA), which delivers 15x faster decoding and 9x faster prefill at 1M-token context compared to the prior generation. M3 scores 59.0% on SWE-Bench Pro — surpassing GPT-5.5 and Gemini 3.1 Pro — and achieves the highest score on Claw-Eval (74.5%) for autonomous agent tasks. It accepts text, image, and video inputs natively and supports tool calling through standard MCP scaffolding. Ideal for developers building coding agents, long-document pipelines, and multi-step automation that require sustained, multi-hour autonomous execution.
ChatMiniMax M2.7
MiniMax M2.7 is a proprietary reasoning LLM from Chinese AI startup MiniMax, released on March 18, 2026, notable for being one of the first commercial models to actively participate in its own training through autonomous self-evolution loops. It excels at agentic coding workflows with a 56.2% score on SWE-Pro and strong performance in office productivity tasks, scoring the highest ELO (1495) on GDPval-AA among open-source-tier models. It targets developers building complex agent systems and automated workflows.
ChatMiniMax M2.7 Highspeed
MiniMax M2.7 Highspeed is a high-throughput, inference-optimized variant of MiniMax M2.7, delivering approximately 100 tokens per second — roughly 66% faster than the standard version. It shares the same model weights and MoE architecture as M2.7, so output quality and reasoning capability are identical; the speed advantage comes entirely from inference-layer routing and batching optimizations. It supports text and image inputs with a 204K context window and features automatic prompt caching and parallel tool calling. Best suited for live coding assistants, autonomous agent pipelines, and interactive workflows where low latency and high throughput matter.
