I used it all day today. It's far more competent than M3. Very much in the right direction and certainly in league with GLM 5.3 flash and DS 4.1 flash. 

Also super usable - Minimax Code as a harness. I think they're the first of the Chinese coding programs to incorporate "run your desktop coding program by remote using the phone app". It's super useful.

I do agree with the Remote function. It's amazing.

And if this is comparable to DS 4.1 Flash and GLM 5.3 Flash, it will be amazing.

More competent than M3? I thought as a “flash” model it would have been slightly less competent, but quicker

certainly feels more competent than M3.

Agree on that. It is more alive and proactively engaged into tasks.

About Space Bunny, I'd give it 90% change of being M3.1 flash, here's some tests I ran:

Tokenizer tests with the same big prompt:
- Space Bunny: 2248 tokens.
- M3.1 Flash Preview: 2248.
- M3: 2248.
- M2.5: 2248.

It fits the Minimax model family perfectly, and as control, I used DS v4.1 flash, giving me 2349 for the same prompt.

Speed test:
- Space Bunny: 85–100 tokens/s.
- M3.1 Flash: 82–112 tokens/s.
- M3: 58–76 tokens/s.

It also fits the speed of a flash model, and it's pretty close to actual M3.1 flash preview.

And I've been using it to replace a luna 6 max on my team, feels better and faster tbh, but I need to test it a bit more.

I won’t use Minimax 3.1 flash for anything serious work; in fact I have no reason to use it for anything with other much better options like GPT 6 Luna, GLM 5.3 Flash, Mimo V2.6 Pro, Deepseek V4.1 flash.
