MiniMax ships M3.1-Flash-Preview coding model inside MiniMax Code

MiniMax confirmed on September 27, 2026 that M3.1-Flash-Preview is live inside MiniMax Code, its coding assistant. The model is pitched as an ultra-fast text model for everyday development tasks like bug fixes, regression tests and change-impact checks. A five-level reasoning resource slider lets users trade latency against depth.

• M3.1-Flash-Preview is gated to MiniMax Code, with no public API documented
• A five-level reasoning slider trades latency for depth
• Targets bug fixes, tests and change-impact checks, not general chat
• A September 28–October 7 check-in campaign offers double points
