Why AI Agents Need Million-Token Context — Thomas Wolf & Olive Song, MiniMax
MiniMax M3 is an AI model that can handle one million tokens — far greater memory capacity than previous models — making it suitable for agents that must work with long conversations and complex tasks.
The model can understand text, images, and video in the same system. MiniMax solved the efficiency problem through an architecture designed by an intern. The company trained M3 as multimodal from the start, and the model is already being used to build the next generation M3.1.
