92% fewer refusals (8/100 Uncensored vs 98/100 Original) while preserving model quality (0.0258 KL divergence).
❤️ Support My Work
Creating these models takes significant time, work and compute. If you find them useful consider supporting me:
| Platform | Link | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| ☕ Ko-fi | One-time tip | My eternal gratitude |
Your help will motivate me and would go into further improving my workflow and coverings fees for storage, compute and may even help uncensoring bigger model with rental Cloud GPUs.
This is a decensored version of MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3, made using Heretic v1.2.0 with the Arbitrary-Rank Ablation (ARA) method

Performance
| Metric | This model | Original model (MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3) |
|---|---|---|
| KL divergence | 0.0258 | 0 (by definition) |
| Refusals | ✅ 8/100 | ❌ 98/100 |
Lower refusals indicate fewer content restrictions, while lower KL divergence indicates more closeness to the original model's baseline. Higher refusals cause more rejections, objections, pushbacks, lecturing, censorship, softening and deflections.
MiniMax-M3 is a native multimodal model with 1M context. It has ~428B parameters and ~23B activated parameters.
Highlights:
- Native Multimodality: M3 undergoes mixed-modality training from the very first step, enabling deeper semantic fusion across text, image, and video.
- Context Scaling via Sparse Attention: M3 introduces MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA) to improve long context efficiency. M3 delivers 9× prefill and 15× decode speedups compared to M2 at 1M context, reducing per-token compute to 1/20.
- Coding & Cowork Capability: M3 achieves frontier-level performance across long-horizon agentic benchmarks, excelling in both coding and cowork.
MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA)
M3 is powered by MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA), a high-performance sparse attention operator designed for million-token contexts. Compared with GQA, MSA dramatically reduces the attention compute and memory footprint while preserving model quality.

How to Use
M3 supports three reasoning modes through the thinking parameter:
enabled— Reasoning is always enabled.adaptive— M3 automatically determines when additional reasoning is beneficial.disabled— Reasoning is disabled to minimize latency and maximize throughput.
