MiniMax M3

by MiniMax

Released 75 days after MiniMax M2.7 · All MiniMax releases

MiniMax M3 is an open-weight Mixture-of-Experts model with roughly 428 billion total parameters and about 23 billion activated per token, built for frontier coding and agentic work and released under the minimax-community license. It is natively multimodal, trained across text, image, and video from the start, and can read screenshots and operate a desktop computer for end-to-end automation. The model is powered by MiniMax Sparse Attention, a sparse-attention design that supports context windows up to one million tokens while cutting the compute spent per token, giving large speedups over M2 at long context. MiniMax reports 59.0% on SWE-Bench Pro, 66.0% on Terminal-Bench 2.1, and 74.2% on MCP Atlas, alongside results on agentic suites such as BrowseComp, BFCL, and GAIA. M3 is suited to long-horizon tool use, multi-step coding loops, and computer-use automation where both reasoning depth and long-context throughput matter.

Get started

Call MiniMax M3 through the qynio gateway with one API key. Let your coding agent set it up, or call it directly — qynio is drop-in compatible with the OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI SDKs.

Set it up with your agent

Copy this and paste it into a coding agent like Claude Code, Cursor or Codex and it'll wire up qynio for you.

Or call it directly

import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.QYN_API_KEY,
baseURL: "https://api.qyn.io/v3/compat",
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: "fireworks/minimax-m3",
messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);
