As we know Minimax M3 is just going to be open sourced in few days and because of that I was surfing on internet searching for its scores and I found out pretty interesting results. Is Minimax M3 really that good in agentic stuff and in coding? Is it better than older gpt models?
Summary
A user inquires about the upcoming open-source Minimax M3 model's performance in agentic tasks and coding, asking how it compares to older GPT models like GPT 5.2.

@jiayuan_jy: A few objective clarifications: 1) This post has nothing to do with MiniMax (I never take sponsored posts). 2) 'Subjective feel' is not the same as actual performance; it's not quantitative data. After more extensive experience, overall coding ability is a qualitative improvement compared to m2.7. A current shortcoming is that 1-shot results compared with...
