Everyone’s sleeping on MiniMax. Again.
They just shipped M3. The first open-weights model to combine frontier coding, 1M context, and native multimodality in one drop.
I plugged it into Claude Code this morning. Pasted a design from Dribbble. Watched M3 write production-ready React code in one session.
At the agency, I just replaced Opus 4.8 with M3 for 80% of our coding tasks.
The output is the same and we are running everything at a fraction of the cost.
Open infrastructure is the future.
