We still need comparable independent tests. You can compare the confirmed features and limits below, but we cannot yet give this version an Agent Fit or Practical Value rating. Test it on your own tasks before switching; results for another version or thinking setting may not apply.
What you can use today
Token prices measure the small pieces of text the model reads or produces. Capacity is the amount the service accepts in a request; check the limits below for any fallback to another model. A dash means the rate is unverified.
Exact OpenRouter model ID: minimax/minimax-m3.1-flash. Provider documentation declares text, image, video input and tool-calling support.
Available thinking settings: low, medium, high, xhigh, max. We do not yet have comparable independent results for these settings. The documented API default is max when effort is omitted. A default is not a recommendation for every task.
Thinking is required. Verify application settings with the selected serving provider; the hosted offer does not establish download availability.
Costs $0.15 input, $0.015 cached input and $0.60 output per million tokens. This is a paid offer, separate from the previous :free ID. Allow for retries and any tool fees. Models that think before answering may also charge for that work.

Test it before switching
Give each model the same examples, tools and definition of success. Record correct outcomes, response time, retries and total cost. A cheaper token price does not guarantee a cheaper completed task.
