MiniMax M1 40K

MiniMax-M1 is an open-source, large-scale reasoning model that uses a hybrid-attention architecture for efficient long-context processing. 5 Pro’s scale while being highly cost-effective.

Its Lightning Attention mechanism reduces compute requirements to about 30% of DeepSeek R1’s, and a new reinforcement learning algorithm, CISPO, doubles convergence speed compared to other RL methods.

Trained on 512 H800s over three weeks, M1 achieves near state-of-the-art results across software engineering, long-context, and tool-use benchmarks, outperforming most open models and rivaling top closed systems.
