MiniMax M3 Is Here With Frontier Coding, 1M Context, and Native Multimodality

On June 1, 2026, MiniMax officially released M3, the Shanghai lab’s next flagship language model, and it shipped exactly as promised. The model that spent weeks as an architecture teaser is now live, and the pitch turned out to be real: frontier-level coding, a 1-million-token context window, and native multimodality, all in one open-weight model. MiniMax calls it the first and only open-weight model to bring all three together. Open weights sit at the heart of open source AI, the category of models you can download and run yourself instead of renting access through a closed API.

反AI活動家、AnthropicとDeepMindでハンスト中

人の反AI活動家が現在、大手AI企業本社の前で10日以上にわたるハンストを行っている。ギド・ライヒスタッターはAnthropic社のオフィスの外で、マイケル・トラッツィはDeepMind社で抗議活動をしている。両者とも、人工知能への道は人類に存亡の危機をもたらすと主張している。彼らの主張によれば、AI企業は世界中の家族や子供たちに危害を加えかねない危険な領域に向かって突き進んでいるという。この抗議行動は、現在のAI開発は無謀であり、破滅的な事態を招きかねないと考える人々の、大きくなりつつあるがまだ小さな運動を代表するものである。ライヒスタッターは2児の父であり、以前は28時間にわたって橋の上で抗議活動を行った。

Also, people in committed relationships are actually more likely to use romantic AI than single people, challenging assumptions about loneliness […]
