MiniMax M3 ships open 1M-context multimodal coding model
The new open-weight release hits frontier marks on agentic benchmarks and long-horizon tasks like 12-hour paper replication and CUDA kernel tuning. Native multimodality plus MSA architecture gives reliable 512K–1M context without the closed-model tax. Worth kicking the tires in Cursor or Claude Code if the pricing beats your current Anthropic+OpenRouter mix.
