Hands-on: M3.1 Flash builds an interactive 3D city inside a whale skeleton in one HTML file
The author tested M3.1 Flash on an ambitious coding task, building an interactive 3D city inside a colossal whale skeleton in the Mariana Trench, combining cinematic visuals, camera controls and lighting modes in a single HTML file.
Space Bunny was an early glimpse of what MiniMax M3.1 Flash could do. Now, I put M3.1 Flash to the test with a more ambitious coding task: Building an interactive 3D city inside a colossal whale skeleton, deep in the Mariana Trench. What stood out during the build: ➡️ Turning a detailed creative brief into a structured experience ➡️ Combining cinematic visuals with interactive camera controls ➡️ Bringing multiple scene elements and lighting modes together in one HTML file The model’s value goes beyond what it can build. Token efficiency and cost-effectiveness matter, too. MiniMax reports nearly 3× faster online inference and 70% lower usage costs. The real question: how much can you build with less time and cost?
