MiniMax: MiniMax M3

MiniMax M3 is a multimodal model for sustained coding and agent work, using MiniMax Sparse Attention and a long-context design. Its listed Ultra chat interfaces accept text and return text answers.

About the model

This description covers the model’s capabilities. Available in Ailoot inputs, outputs and options are listed for the selected method below.

MiniMax M3 is MiniMax’s multimodal foundation model for sustained, multi-step tasks. Its published model profile describes text, image and video inputs with text output; the listed Ultra chat interfaces accept text and return text answers. The model is built on MiniMax Sparse Attention, which selects key-value blocks instead of applying full attention across the entire long context. Its published role includes coding, tool use and collaborative workflows across several turns.

Bring task evidence into a conversation

Pair the written objective with the written observations that establish the problem. For interface work, describe and label the screen and state being examined. For a video question, provide a transcript or written notes identifying the relevant scene or interval and the visible sequence to analyze. Ask for a concrete text result, such as a description, comparison or implementation proposal, while preserving the source labels needed to check it.

The model’s multimodal training uses interleaved material, and its collaboration training is oriented toward longer interactions. A useful working brief keeps written instructions close to the source they describe. Separate evidence from assumptions so a later turn can continue from what was actually observed.

Coding and tool-assisted work

For a programming task, supply the relevant source, the behavior to deliver and the conditions that establish completion. Keep actual command or test output in the conversation when the next step depends on it. A tool-enabled application can perform a proposed operation and return its result to the model.

The published model profile documents function calling and JSON-schema structured outputs; the listed Ultra Chat contract treats tools and response_format as model-dependent. Define the operations or result fields around the task, then validate the returned data against its sources. Preserve which observation belongs to which tool action before combining conclusions from several steps.

Long context and a clear final state

The published model profile describes a context of about one million tokens. Plan each request around the serving interface’s actual budget and reserve room for the response. Keep completed decisions, the latest observations and open questions in named sections, rather than repeatedly appending all background material.

A useful M3 result leaves the artifact and its evidence together: a focused change with validation, an analysis tied to a visual source or a next action whose result will resolve a remaining question. This lets an extended workflow continue from an inspectable state.

Practical task

Analyze a written video sequence

Technical example in English

Analyze a written video sequence

Analyze these written scene notes, using no video access. [00:03] Operator places a tray on a scale. [00:07] Display reads 2.4 kg. [00:10] A second tray is placed beside it, not on the scale. Summarize the sequence and state which tray has a recorded weight and what remains unknown.

Expected result

A source-labelled sequence summary and a clear known/unknown distinction for tray weights.

Check the result

Ensure the 2.4 kg reading is not assigned to the unweighed second tray.

Rates in USD per 1K tokens. If no rate is set, the base rate for this method is inherited; «—» means no base rate is set.

Ailoot reserves an estimated amount before a request. After the result, it settles the final charge from measured usage. Streaming settlement uses the final usage record. How reservation and settlement work →
