MiniMax models and answers
MiniMax M3
Jun 2026MiniMax M3 takes text, image and video, returns text, over a 1M token context, for long-horizon agent work, coding and tool use. MiniMax Sparse Attention swaps full attention for KV-block selection, cutting per-token compute at long context to roughly a twentieth of the last generation.

MiniMax M2.5
Feb 2026MiniMax M2.5 extends M2.1's coding into office work: it generates and operates Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, switches software environments, and works alongside other agents. Scores 80.2% on SWE-Bench Verified, 51.3% on Multi-SWE-Bench and 76.3% on BrowseComp, on fewer tokens than earlier generations.
