How smart is MiniMax-M3?

MiniMax-M3 is a model from MiniMax, released on Jun 1, 2026. Its SI-IQ is 108 (90% interval 102–114), estimated from 5 benchmark results by 2 independent evaluators.

Every benchmark result we used

Each score is one value exactly as the source published it: for Epoch AI the best of its run settings, for OpenRouter the median hosting provider (the developer's own hosting when it ran the test). “Implied SI-IQ” is the ability that this single result points to; the overall SI-IQ is their precision-weighted average.

Human preference (Arena)

On the Arena leaderboard, where people vote between two anonymous answers, MiniMax-M3 has a rating of 1,441 (1,437–1,445) from 63,973 votes (published Oct 15, 2026). Human preference is a different measure from benchmark ability and is not part of SI-IQ. Arena (Hugging Face)
