Key Features

MiniMax M3 (Frontier Coding & Agentic Model)

A frontier model built on a novel MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA) architecture, supporting up to 1M context length, native multimodality, and focused on coding and agentic tasks.

Ultra-long Context (1M)

Models and attention architecture designed to scale to 1 million tokens of context for long-form reasoning, codebases, and extended multimodal inputs.

Native Multimodality

Joint training and interleaved multimodal capabilities enabling the models to handle and integrate text, image, audio, video, and music in a single model.

Frontier Coding Capabilities

Production-grade engineering focus for code generation, modeling, and agentic workflows; integrated with MiniMax Code product for developer workflows.

Specialized Audio & Music Models

Dedicated models such as MiniMax Speech 2.8 and MiniMax Music 2.6 for speech and music generation and processing.

Video Generation (Hailuo 2.3)

Video model family (Hailuo 2.3) for video generation tasks; positioned alongside the multimodal foundation models.

Agent Platform (Mavis)

Upgraded MiniMax Agent (named Mavis) built for long-running tasks and continuous evolution, enabling agent teams and long-lived workflows.

Token-based API Plan

A token plan for API users that emphasizes high throughput (revamped token plan, higher token allowances and comparisons to other commercial offerings).

Pricing

Token Plan (Revamped)

Advertised example: $20 tier with up to 12.5B tokens/month (site references $20 ≈ 110K long documents and comparison '10× the throughput' vs. a competitor).
  • Large monthly token allowance (example cited: up to 12.5B tokens/month)
