MiniMax M2.7 vs o3

Side-by-side benchmark comparison across agentic, coding, multimodal, knowledge, reasoning, and math workflows.

o3 is clearly ahead on the aggregate, 63 to 57. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.

o3's sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 69.2 against 57. MiniMax M2.7 does hit back in coding, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.

o3 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $10.00 input / $40.00 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.30 input / $1.20 output per 1M tokens for MiniMax M2.7. That is roughly 33.3x on output cost alone. o3 is the reasoning model in the pair, while MiniMax M2.7 is not. That usually helps on harder chain-of-thought-heavy tests, but it can also mean more latency and more token spend in real use.

Quick Verdict

Pick o3 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. MiniMax M2.7 only becomes the better choice if coding is the priority or you want the cheaper token bill.
