From the Hugging Face model README

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.

MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA)

M3 is powered by MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA), a high-performance sparse attention operator designed for million-token contexts. Compared with GQA, MSA dramatically reduces the attention compute and memory footprint while preserving model quality.

How to Use

M3 supports three reasoning modes through the thinking parameter:

enabled — Reasoning is always enabled.
adaptive — M3 automatically determines when additional reasoning is beneficial.
disabled — Reasoning is disabled to minimize latency and maximize throughput.
