What is MiniMax M3?

MiniMax M3 is an open-weight multimodal foundation model from MiniMax that brings together coding capability, agentic reasoning, native multimodality, and long-context processing in one model. It is designed for demanding AI workflows where a system needs to understand large amounts of information, reason through multi-step tasks, use tools, and work with different input types. MiniMax M3 supports a context window of up to 1 million tokens, making it useful for large code repositories, long documents, multi-file analysis, research workflows, enterprise automation, and persistent agent memory. The model uses MiniMax Sparse Attention, an architecture built to improve efficiency at very long context lengths by reducing the cost of attention. MiniMax M3 is natively multimodal and can work with text, images, and video inputs, allowing it to support richer workflows than text-only language models. It is positioned for coding, software engineering, tool invocation, browser-style retrieval, computer-use-style tasks, and autonomous task decomposition. The model’s architecture includes a large total parameter count with a smaller number of activated parameters, supporting more efficient inference through a mixture-of-experts design. Developers can use MiniMax M3 to build coding assistants, AI agents, document intelligence systems, multimodal analysis tools, and automated enterprise workflows. Its long-context design helps reduce the need to compress or split large inputs, allowing teams to keep more project context available during reasoning. The model is available through open-weight releases and hosted API providers, giving developers multiple ways to test, deploy, or integrate it into applications. MiniMax M3 helps organizations build advanced AI systems that combine long memory, multimodal understanding, coding strength, and agentic execution.

What is Kimi K3?

Kimi K3 is Moonshot AI’s most advanced model, designed for high-end reasoning, software engineering, multimodal understanding, knowledge work, and agentic AI applications. The model has 2.8 trillion parameters and is built on Kimi Delta Attention, a hybrid linear attention mechanism created for long-context performance. It also uses Attention Residuals and supports a native context window of up to 1 million tokens. This makes Kimi K3 suitable for tasks involving large codebases, long research materials, enterprise documentation, multi-file analysis, legal documents, technical manuals, and complex workflows. Kimi K3 always has thinking mode enabled, with reasoning effort configured through the reasoning_effort field and maximum effort currently supported as the default. Developers can use the model through an OpenAI-compatible API, making it easier to integrate with existing SDKs, clients, and application infrastructure. The model supports streaming responses with separate reasoning and final-answer deltas, allowing applications to display reasoning progress and final content differently. Kimi K3 also supports strict structured output with JSON Schema, partial mode for continuing from a prefix, custom tool calling, required tool use, and dynamic tool loading through system messages. Its vision capabilities support image and video inputs through base64 or uploaded files, enabling analysis of visual content alongside text. Automatic context caching helps workflows that reuse long prefixes, such as large knowledge bases or persistent system context, without requiring developers to manage cache IDs manually. By combining frontier-scale parameters, long-context processing, visual input, structured outputs, tool orchestration, and developer-friendly API compatibility, Kimi K3 gives teams a strong foundation for advanced AI agents, coding assistants, research systems, enterprise automation, and multimodal applications.
