同一 prompt 对比：M3.1 Flash 思考 10 分钟未交付，Opus 5.5 直接做出果冻玩具
作者用同一个「可切割果冻玩具」prompt 测两者：M3.1 Flash 跑约 50 条命令、擅自重写物理引擎，最后因余额不足报错零产出；Opus 5.5 一次做出可切割成品。
first impression of MiniMax M3.1 Flash vs Claude Opus 5.5 on paper it's not even a fight. MiniMax is 26.7x cheaper on input and 33.3x cheaper on output. so i gave both the exact same prompt: build a sliceable jelly toy. here's what MiniMax did with it > went full agent mode > thought for 10+ minutes > ran ~50 commands > decided "cannon-es is buggy" and started rewriting the physics engine. nobody asked > then died on error 50110: insufficient balance > jelly delivered: zero meanwhile Claude just made the jelly. the pink one in the video. you can actually slice it. wait. their own numbers look great: 73.7% on DeepSWE, 91% on BabyVision, 170+ tok/s, open weights on Oct 23. all self reported, nobody has verified them yet. honest part: this is one prompt, not a benchmark. for small scoped jobs as a subagent i'd still try it, at that price experimenting is basically free. but on anything open ended, 170 tok/s means nothing when it spends them on stuff you didn't ask for. the cheapest model in the room ran out of money first.
