MiniMax_AI · x · 2026-10-20
Cline announced day-0 support for MiniMax M3.1 Flash, claiming it goes toe-to-toe with Opus and GPT on coding at roughly 25x lower cost — and confirming it was Space Bunny, the stealth model topping recent usage leaderboards. It's free in Cline now.
MiniMax echoed that the model was built for long agentic coding runs where cost adds up fast, and encouraged devs to point it at their gnarliest repos.
