On the same day, major model providers collectively launched new models.

MiniMax and Moonshot AI each announced new open-source achievements.

Among them, MiniMax kicked off "MiniMax Week" and open-sourced its latest long-context reasoning LLM, MiniMax-M1, on the first day. This model supports the world's longest context window, including 1 million tokens for input and 80,000 tokens for output.

Moreover, MiniMax-M1 boasts the strongest agent tool usage capabilities among open-source models. Its reinforcement learning efficiency is remarkable, requiring only $534,700 to complete training.

Currently, MiniMax-M1 has been integrated into MiniMax Chat.

What are the standout features of the powerful MiniMax-M1? First, it supports UI component focusing (Spotlight), allowing users to instantly build an HTML page with a canvas-based animated particle background by simply entering a prompt.

Second, MiniMax-M1 supports interactive applications. For example, when tasked with building a typing speed test, it quickly generates a clean, functional web application that tracks WPM (words per minute) in real-time, requiring no plugins or setup.

Additionally, MiniMax-M1 excels in visualization effects. For instance, with the prompt: "Create an HTML page with a canvas-based animated particle background. The particles should move smoothly and connect when close. Add a central heading text over the canvas," it delivers impressive results.
