Introduction

MiniMax-M3 is a native multimodal model with 1M context. It has ~428B parameters and ~23B activated parameters.

Highlights:

  • Native Multimodality: M3 undergoes mixed-modality training from the very first step, enabling deeper semantic fusion across text, image, and video.
  • Context Scaling via Sparse Attention: M3 introduces MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA) to improve long context efficiency. M3 delivers 9× prefill and 15× decode speedups compared to M2 at 1M context, reducing per-token compute to 1/20.
  • Coding & Cowork Capability: M3 achieves frontier-level performance across long-horizon agentic benchmarks, excelling in both coding and cowork.
