Space Bunny (MiniMax M3.1 Flash) in Claude Code builds a content planner for under $0.50
Hands-on: dumping 50 past posts into the 1M context at max effort produced a 30-day calendar, hook bank and analyzer for roughly 1.5M input and 300K output tokens, under $0.50 at API prices.
space bunny was minimax m3.1 flash all along... the anonymous model that sat at #1 on openrouter for 10 straight days (56.7t tokens) and #1 on opencode for 12 days (106t) finally has a name so i used it to build a content planner from scratch the trick is giving it the whole picture at once, smart way to set it up: - step 1: connect minimax m3.1 flash to claude code and set effort to max - step 2: dump everything into one prompt: niche, audience, my last 50 posts, what performed and what flopped. the 1m-token context takes it all - step 3: have it build the app: a 30-day calendar, a hook bank, post drafts per platform - step 4: add a “why it worked” analyzer that reads my top posts and pulls out the patterns - step 5: generate a week of posts in my format, then rewrite the weak ones - step 6: test it, fix the bugs, ship it what a build like this costs: under $0.50 at api prices (rough math: ~1.5m tokens in, ~300k out) why it’s cheap enough to run every day: > $0.15 per 1m input tokens, $0.60 output, $0.015 cached > 70% lower cost on agentic tasks than the previous minimax model > 73.7% on deepswe v1.1, close to top coding models > 200+ tokens per second output don’t compare price per token, compare the price of a finished task. that’s where this model wins
