Space Bunny unmasked as MiniMax M3.1 Flash: nearly 3x faster, ~70% cheaper for agents
Relays the official launch: Space Bunny was MiniMax M3.1 Flash, claimed nearly 3x faster online and about 70% cheaper for agentic work, priced at $0.15/$0.60 per million tokens and live via the MiniMax API, M Plan and MiniMax Code, with open weights to follow.
MiniMax just unmasked Space Bunny: it was their new M3.1 Flash model all along. Official rollout today. MiniMax says Flash is nearly 3x faster online and about 70% cheaper for agentic work than its predecessor. API price: $0.15 per million input tokens and $0.60 per million output. Available now via the MiniMax API, M Plan and MiniMax Code. Open weights come later. Our take: if the speed and price claims hold up in real coding agents, this is a serious mid-tier option for teams that live on tool use.
