What the vendor claims, next to what independent boards measured. The two are never mixed in one column.

Quoted word for word from the vendor's own launch post or model card. Claims, not measurements.
No vendor claims recorded yet. They come from launch posts and model cards the Drops covered.
Measured by independent sources (Epoch AI, LMArena, OpenRouter's benchmark runs, τ²-bench, Vectara), not by the vendor. "Listed as" is the source's own name for the model, so you can check our match.

The claim was posted by @MiniMax_AI on X, with vendor benchmark scores we have not checked. OpenRouter lists the model at $0.15 in and $0.6 out per 1M tokens, with a 1048576-token context.
Why it matters: A large open-weight model at a low hosted price gives teams another self-hostable agent option. Test it on your own tasks before trusting vendor numbers.
From Drop #041 · Fri, Oct 23 · MorningOpenRouter lists MiniMax M3.1 Flash at $0 per 1M tokens in and out. OpenRouter posted that it was the stealth model Space Bunny, its #1 model for 10 straight days, and that it is free for the next 72 hours.
Why it matters: Another cheap fast model for agent workloads, days after DeepSeek V4.1 Flash. Free pricing is time-limited, per OpenRouter's post.
