kimmonismus · x · 2026-09-27
According to a leak from LuminaBench, MiniMax M3.1 is close to release, with "M3.1-preview" now running through partner serving tests. Test coverage includes reasoning effort levels from low to max, image + video multimodal support, and DSpark speculative decoding — the leaker bets on a Wednesday drop. Tester kimmonismus confirms hands-on access, calling the predecessor M3 a very solid model and saying M3.1 is worth watching.
