MiniMax M3 brings coding and multimodality together

MiniMax introduced M3 around coding, agentic execution, and native multimodality. The company describes its sparse-attention approach and an API context window reaching one million tokens, alongside capabilities for decomposing tasks and using tools.

Context

Long context can support larger projects or video inputs, but it also creates more material to search and maintain. The deployment question includes effective recall, latency, and the relationship between hosted and downloadable variants. A capacity limit describes what can fit; task-level testing shows what the model uses reliably.
