| Description | ||
| Summary | MiniMax-M3 is a multimodal foundation model from MiniMax, supporting text, image, and video inputs with text output and a 1M-token context window. It is designed for long-horizon agentic workflows, coding, and tool-driven task execution, enabling sustained reasoning across complex tasks. Built on MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA), the model dramatically improves long-context efficiency by replacing full attention with KV-block selection, reducing compute costs at 1M-token contexts while maintaining strong performance. Trained as a native multimodal model and optimized for multi-turn, production-style collaboration, MiniMax-M3 excels at extended, multi-step workflows rather than single-turn interactions. | Kimi K3.1 Pro is Moonshot AI's flagship open-weight multimodal reasoning model, building on Kimi K3 with enhanced post-training for advanced reasoning and autonomous task execution. It features a 1M-token context window and native image and video understanding, enabling complex, long-context multimodal workflows. Optimized for long-horizon coding, 3D creation, financial research, and end-to-end agentic knowledge work, Kimi K3.1 Pro is well suited for autonomous software engineering, multimodal analysis, and complex professional workflows that require sustained reasoning and reliable execution. |
