MiniMax M3 Sparse Attention Enables Long-Horizon Agents
omarsar0 · x · 2026-07-07
The author points out that as long-horizon agents become multimodal, models like MiniMax M3 deserve close attention. They wrote an analysis on how sparse attention makes long-horizon agents engineeringly viable.
The core argument is that sparse attention makes long-timespan, multimodal agents much more practical regarding compute and context.
