Lineage

The sequence follows explicit supersedes links. Each score is estimated for that model; a relative can inform a sparse estimate but never sets a floor, so a newer release can score below an earlier one. Scores and prices remain blank when the corresponding public row or first-party rate is unavailable.

Questions

How does MiniMax M3.1 Flash perform overall in AI benchmarks?

MiniMax M3.1 Flash ranks #41 out of 226 models on the public BenchAlign leaderboard, with a score of 63.4/100. Its evidence status is Estimated, and this profile shows 12 source-displayable benchmark rows. The label describes evidence depth, not a provider quality claim; inspect category rows before choosing a workload.

Is MiniMax M3.1 Flash good for knowledge and understanding?

MiniMax M3.1 Flash has source-displayable benchmark coverage for knowledge and understanding, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is MiniMax M3.1 Flash good for coding and programming?

MiniMax M3.1 Flash has source-displayable benchmark coverage for coding and programming, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Is MiniMax M3.1 Flash good for agentic tool use and computer tasks?

MiniMax M3.1 Flash ranks #35 out of 130 eligible models for agentic tool use and computer tasks, with a public category score of 58.2/100. Higher-ranked alternatives are available for workloads where this category decides the choice. Check the underlying rows before treating the aggregate as a workload guarantee.

Is MiniMax M3.1 Flash good for multimodal and grounded tasks?

MiniMax M3.1 Flash has source-displayable benchmark coverage for multimodal and grounded tasks, but the public category table does not assign it a rank there. The individual rows remain available for inspection. A missing category position means the evidence threshold was not met; it does not convert the model's unmeasured work into a zero.

Which sibling models are related to MiniMax M3.1 Flash?

MiniMax M3.1 Flash belongs to the MiniMax M3.1 Flash family. Related tracked variants include MiniMax M3.1 Flash Preview. A sibling link indicates shared lineage or a documented configuration relationship; it does not mean the variants have identical pricing, context limits, benchmark evidence, or deployment behavior. Compare before switching.

Does MiniMax M3.1 Flash have full benchmark coverage on BenchLM?

No. MiniMax M3.1 Flash currently has 12 source-displayable rows across 682 tracked benchmark slots. The profile exposes published, non-generated evidence and leaves missing categories blank until an exact evaluation is available. Coverage describes how much was measured; it is not a penalty added to an individual benchmark result.

What is the context window size of MiniMax M3.1 Flash?

MiniMax M3.1 Flash has a documented context window of 1M. That figure is the maximum combined prompt and retained-conversation space reported for this exact model; it is not the maximum output length. The profile keeps output limits separate because providers often publish those limits independently.
