Space Bunny revealed as MiniMax M3.1 Flash: 62.2% automation, 1/30 Opus 5 pricing
The author confirms Space Bunny was MiniMax: M3.1 Flash scores 62.2% on automation-bench ahead of Opus 5 and Sonnet 5.6, matches them on DeepSWE, runs 200+ tok/s, and costs $0.15/$0.60 vs Opus 5's $5/$25.
so Space Bunny was from MiniMax all along the official version M3.1 Flash scored 62.2% on automation-bench that's ahead of both Opus 5 and Sonnet 5.6, which honestly I didn't expect from a Flash model it matches them on DeepSWE too, and runs at 200+ tokens/sec but the pricing is the part I care about most $0.15 / $0.60 per million tokens while Opus 5 is $5 / $25 for agents that run all day, that gap matters way more than a few benchmark points I knew Space Bunny was too good to be a random model MiniMax is quietly becoming my favorite lab to watch
