M3 reaches frontier capability on coding and agentic tasks, introduces the brand-new MSA (MiniMax Sparse Attention) supporting up to 1M context, and is a natively multimodal model. It is the only domestic model combining all three Frontier essentials and will be the only open-source one in this class.

BigGo Finance's September 4, 2026 coverage corroborates the HUMAIN × MiniMax partnership, reporting that HUMAIN M3 achieves an average score of 89.37% across seven public Arabic benchmarks and tops five of them, including Arabic comprehension, knowledge-based question answering, language proficiency, truthfulness, and The article frames this collaboration as a shift in Chinese large-model overseas expansion, moving from API output to serving as the technical foundation for foreign domestic model development, reflecting growing Chinese model influence in the global open-source AI ecosystem. Open-source weights are planned for release

HUMAIN, a Saudi PIF-backed AI company, announced humain-m3 at the LEAP conference on September 3, 2026, commissioning MiniMax as the delivering model builder. The frontier Arabic language model is built on the MiniMax-M3 lineage using a 428-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts architecture, further pre-trained on more humain-m3 is available immediately in research preview through HUMAIN Node, HUMAIN's platform that provides developers, researchers, and enterprises with access to advanced AI models and scaled inference. A planned open-weight release is positioned as the next milestone for the model, enabling sovereign deployment scen

MiniMax released H3, a new multimodal video-generation model, on 2026-07-31, accepting text, image, video, and audio inputs and capable of producing up to 15-second clips at 2K resolution with native stereo sound. The model also supports editing existing content and transferring motion between videos using mixed-format MiniMax announced plans to publish H3's model weights within days, extending the open-weight trend seen in Chinese language models into video generation, and said the system is designed to run on several Chinese-made chips as part of the sector's effort to reduce dependence on U.S. semiconductors. The company framed H3

MiniMax is raising approximately $2 billion, with more than half coming from new shares and the rest via convertible bonds, following an earlier ~$619 million Hong Kong listing. Shares fell 9.8% on the news, and the company is separately pursuing a reported $6.5 billion convertible bond offering maturing in 2027 at a c The article embeds several technical claims about M3 that are relevant to developers: 427 billion parameters, 1 million-token prompt length, and vendor-reported 9× prefill and 15× decode speedups over the previous flagship, attributed to MiniMax Sparse Attention — described as a FlashAttention-based technique that redu

MiniMax M3, released June 1, 2026, is a native multimodal Mixture-of-Experts model with approximately 428 billion total parameters and roughly 23 billion active per token, supporting text, image, and video input with text output. It offers an API context window of up to 1,000,000 tokens (with a stated guaranteed minimu API pricing for M3 is $0.30 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output tokens for prompts up to 512K tokens, doubling to $0.60/$2.40 per million above that threshold, with MiniMax recommending 131,072 tokens for the M3 reasoning mode.
