What is MiniMax?

MiniMax-M3 is the industry’s premier native multimodal foundation model, engineered to process text, image, and video synchronously within a single MoE framework. Trained on 100 trillion interleaved tokens, its 'MiniMax Sparse Attention' mechanism reduces computational overhead by 20×, enabling 1-million-token contexts for real-time video understanding and complex document intelligence. For enterprises, M3 provides a unified media intelligence layer that eliminates disparate encoders, offering a cost-effective path to frontier-level reasoning within secure, customer-managed environments.
