GoKawiilMiniMax launches M3.1 Flash, a faster, cheaper agentic AI model
MiniMax has officially released MiniMax M3.1 Flash, successor to a previously anonymous model called Space Bunny that had processed over 200 trillion tokens. The new model focuses on agentic tasks, coding, computer use and cybersecurity, and MiniMax says it runs nearly three times faster for online inference while cutting usage costs by 70%.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The benchmark results MiniMax cites—including top-tier scores on AutomationBench-AA, BankerToolBench, DeepSWE v1.1, OSWorld V2 and Agents' Last Exam—suggest the model is being positioned to compete with leading agentic AI systems from larger labs. Lower costs and faster inference could make it more attractive for enterprises automating multi-step business workflows, though independent verification of these self-reported benchmarks is not available.
- MiniMax M3.1 Flash succeeds an anonymous predecessor, Space Bunny, which processed over 200 trillion tokens.
- MiniMax claims nearly 3x faster online inference and a 70% reduction in usage costs versus prior versions.
- The model reportedly leads Chinese models on computer-use benchmarks OSWorld V2 and Agents' Last Exam.
