MiniMax M3 Review: The Price Disruptor with Caveats
MiniMax M3 arrives as the first open-weight model to combine frontier coding, 1M-token context, and native multimodality - at a fraction of proprietary pricing - but every benchmark figure is self-reported and the weights weren't even shipped at launch.
MiniMax M3
MiniMax M3 is an open-weight frontier model with a 1M-token context window, native multimodal input, and strong agentic coding at $0.60/M input tokens.

MiniMax M2.5 Review: Frontier Code at Bargain Cost
MiniMax M2.5 matches Claude Opus 4.6 on SWE-Bench at 1/20th the price - but a spike in hallucinations and a distillation controversy complicate the story.
Kimi K2.5 vs MiniMax M2.5: Chinese MoE Rivals Battle for the Coding Crown
Kimi K2.5 and MiniMax M2.5 compared side by side - two Chinese MoE models where the smaller, cheaper one actually wins on SWE-bench. A detailed analysis of when each model delivers more value.
MiniMax M2.5
MiniMax M2.5 is a 230B MoE model (10B active) that scores 80.2% on SWE-Bench Verified while costing 1/10th to 1/20th of frontier competitors like Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.2.
Anthropic Says DeepSeek, Moonshot, and MiniMax Ran 24,000 Fake Accounts to Steal Claude's Capabilities
Anthropic accuses three Chinese AI labs of industrial-scale distillation attacks using 24,000 fraudulent accounts and 16 million exchanges with Claude. MiniMax ran the largest operation at 13 million exchanges. None of the three companies have responded.
