Updated: October 22, 2026 MiniMax M3.1 Flash, released by MiniMax on October 19, focuses on agentic reasoning, coding, and multi-step tool workflows. It is intended for tasks such as implementing features, debugging, and processing documents across several steps. BetterToken now offers Model ID MiniMax-M3.1-Flash. Preserve its capitalization and punctuation. Check the model plaza for current availability and pricing.

Highlights

  • Coding and agent workflows: MiniMax emphasizes software development, tool use, and execution of multi-step tasks.
  • Long context and multimodal input: MiniMax documents a 1M-token context window and text, image, and video input. Available limits and input types depend on the client and API.
  • Adjustable thinking depth: MiniMax documents low, medium, high, xhigh, and max effort levels. Thinking is enabled by default, with max as the default level; the official API does not support disabling it.
