Hands-on with MiniMax M3 Multimodal Model
doodlestein · x · 2026-08-30
A user recommends the MiniMax M3 model (free on OpenRouter), describing it as highly addictive. The model supports text, image, and video inputs with a 1M-token context window. It uses Sparse Attention to reduce costs for long contexts and is tuned for multi-turn collaboration and agentic work, though not recommended for planning tasks.
