MiniMax has released its M3 model, featuring a novel Sparse Attention (MSA) architecture that enables a 1 million token context window and native multimodality. This new architecture significantly reduces computational costs for long contexts, making M3 substantially faster than previous generations. The model also demonstrates strong performance in coding and agentic tasks, surpassing several leading models on benchmarks like SWE-Bench Pro and Terminal-Bench. AI
IMPACT Sets new SOTA on coding benchmarks and offers unprecedented context length, potentially shifting industry standards for model efficiency and capability.
