Hassan(@nutlope):This model is insane at design. And 88x cheaper than Claude Opus 5.5 on my test! I asked M3.1 Flash (left) and Opus 5.5 (right) to build me a landing page for a hardware device launch. MiniMax cost just $0.014 vs $1.22 for Opus, while being 4x faster and more token efficient.

MiniMax M3.1 Flash: Space Performance + Bunny Speed 🚀🐰 Yes, Space Bunny - which has topped global leaderboards with 200T+ tokens - was an earlier version of M3.1 Flash. 💰Redefining the performance economics of agentic AI. M3.1 Flash achieves frontier-level intelligence across key tasks such as Cowork (Automation-Bench: 62%; ALE: 30%), Coding (DeepSWE: 74%) and Visual Reasoning (BabyVision: 91%), at 1/3 the cost of M3 and 3x the speed. API pricing (flat rate): $0.15 / $0.60 per 1M input/output tokens, with cache reads at $0.015 / 1M tokens. Model weights will arrive on Oct 23. API: M Plan: MiniMax Code for desktop:
