    MiniMax releases Music 3.0, an open-weights model for full-length songs

    MiniMax introduces Music 3.0, a music generation model that composes, arranges, performs, and produces a complete song from a creative concept and optional lyrics. The post describes an eight-layer RVQ tokenizer, a Hybrid-LM pairing an 8B Global LLM with a 0.6B Local LLM, and a flow-matching and Flow-VAE audio renderer. It says songs can run up to five minutes and that the model focuses on creative intent, arrangement, and vocal naturalness.

    AIWhy it matters: The post explains how the model's pipeline targets structure, acoustic detail, and vocal realism, which helps readers judge where open-weights music generation stands.

    MiniMax H3 unifies text, image, video, and audio generation in one model

    MiniMax launches H3, a general-purpose multimodal generation model that understands text, images, video, and audio as unified context. It generates video up to 15 seconds at 2K resolution with native stereo sound, and the company says model weights will be opened in the coming days, subject to applicable laws and regulations. MiniMax also says H3 is priced below mainstream models at 2K and 768p.

    AIWhy it matters: The post explains how a unified multimodal design and training choices enable 2K video with native stereo sound, useful for comparing against closed video generators.

    MiniMax H3 releases open-weight omni-modal video model with native stereo audio

    MiniMax released H3, an open-weights omni-modal model that generates video with native stereo audio up to 2K and 15 seconds. The system combines H3-Context-IR preprocessing, the H3-Base generator at 768p, and H3-Regenerate-2K for 2K output, with the Context-IR and 2K modules available only through API.

    AIWhy it matters: The source details a three-module pipeline and open weights with deployment paths, showing how a video model is served and reproduced locally.

    MiniMax releases M3-MXFP8, a 1M-context native multimodal model on Hugging Face

    MiniMax published MiniMax-M3-MXFP8, an MXFP8 quantized variant of its native multimodal M3 model with 1M context, about 428B total parameters and about 23B activated parameters. M3 adds MiniMax Sparse Attention, which the source says yields 9× prefill and 15× decode speedups over M2 at 1M context. The model supports three thinking modes (enabled, adaptive, disabled) via the thinking parameter and can be served with SGLang, vLLM, or Transformers.

    AIWhy it matters: The release pairs sparse attention for 1M-token contexts with reported prefill and decode speedups over M2, useful for judging long-context serving costs.

    MiniMax releases M3, a native multimodal model with 1M context

    MiniMax has released MiniMax-M3, a native multimodal model with a 1M-token context window, roughly 428B total parameters, and about 23B activated parameters. The model introduces MiniMax Sparse Attention, which the source says delivers 9× prefill and 15× decode speedups over M2 at 1M context. M3 supports enabled, adaptive, and disabled reasoning modes through the thinking parameter, and weights are available on Hugging Face.

    AIWhy it matters: The source gives concrete attention-efficiency figures and three reasoning modes, which helps readers judge long-context cost against deployment choices.

    MiniMax M3 releases with 1M context, native multimodality and sparse attention

    MiniMax released M3, an open-weight model with a 1M-token context window, native image and video input, and desktop operation support. The post credits a new sparse attention architecture, MSA, for long-context gains, reporting over 9x prefilling and over 15x decoding speedups and 59.0% on SWE-Bench Pro. The API and MiniMax Code are available now, with the technical report and open weights promised within 10 days.

    AIWhy it matters: The post pairs a new sparse attention design with benchmark figures and a 1M-token context window, letting readers judge the architecture's practical effect on long-context work.

    MiniMax Agent Team Adds Parallel Multi-Agent Collaboration for Long Tasks

    MiniMax has upgraded its Agent, renamed Mavis, and introduced Agent Teams that run multiple role-based Agents in parallel on desktop. The team uses Leader, Worker, and Verifier roles so complex tasks can be split, checked, and reported at key checkpoints, and it merges TokenPlan and Agent Plan into one subscription with credits shared between Agent and API. The post also discusses the added token, handoff, and retry costs of multi-Agent work, and says the Agent will be open-sourced alongside MiniMax M3.

    AIWhy it matters: The post explains why multi-Agent helps long tasks and where its verification, token, and aggregation costs come from, useful for judging when a team setup beats a single Agent.

    MiniMax Explains Why Its Model Failed to Output Certain Rare Chinese Tokens

    MiniMax says the M2 series could not generate the rare token "嘉祺" in names like Ma Jiaqi, and its investigation traced the cause to post-training. The company found the token was learned in pretraining, but low coverage of rare tokens in post-training data caused lm_head vectors to drift. Adding synthetic full-vocabulary repetition data restored generation for these tokens and reduced Japanese-to-Russian mixing from 47% to 1%.

    AIWhy it matters: The post traces a specific token failure through tokenizer, embedding, and lm_head checks, showing a reusable way to diagnose post-training generation problems.

    MiniMax releases open-weight MiniMax-M2.7 with agent and coding gains

    MiniMax has released MiniMax-M2.7 on Hugging Face, describing it as its first model to participate in its own evolution. The source reports 56.22% on SWE-Pro, 46.3% on Toolathon, and 62.7% on MM ClawBench, and says an internal version autonomously optimized a programming scaffold over 100+ rounds for a 30% performance improvement.

    AIWhy it matters: The source ties its benchmark claims to a self-evolution process and a named comparison set, which helps readers weigh how the reported gains were achieved.

    MiniMax M2.7 takes part in its own model and harness evolution

    MiniMax says M2.7 is its first model to deeply participate in its own evolution, building agent harnesses and running reinforcement learning experiment workflows. The post reports 56.22% on SWE-Pro, 55.6% on VIBE-Pro, 57.0% on Terminal Bench 2, and a 30% improvement on an internal evaluation set after more than 100 autonomous optimization rounds. It also states that M2.7 handles 30%-50% of its research team's workflow, though human researchers still make critical decisions.

    AIWhy it matters: The post ties M2.7's self-evolution claims to specific benchmark numbers and workflow details, helping readers judge how much of the iteration loop is autonomous.
