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.
