M3.1 Flash Preview is listed separately by MiniMax as subscription-only; these prices apply to M3 pay-as-you-go.

Suggested starting role: everyday coding. Low listed rates plus documented coding, agent, and visual capabilities make M3 a candidate for everyday development. Validate tool calls and code changes against your own checks. This is editorial guidance, not a benchmark score.

Prices are USD per million native tokens, with input and output billed separately. Extra reasoning tokens, retries, tool calls, cache writes, storage, and taxes can change the bill. Use-case tags reflect our reading of official capabilities, not measured rankings.
