MiniMax M3.1 Flash arrives free in Cline, tied to Space Bunny
MiniMax said on X that M3.1 Flash was ready in Cline on day zero and is currently free there, positioning it for long agentic coding runs where costs add up quickly. The post, citing Cline, claims the model goes toe-to-toe with Opus and GPT on coding at roughly 25x lower cost, without providing an independent benchmark or cost measurement. MiniMax also said M3.1 Flash was the model behind Space Bunny, the stealth model it says has been topping usage leaderboards recently, again without citing leaderboard data.
If the claims hold, a low-cost coding model could become an option inside agentic coding tools, but the performance and cost figures so far come only from MiniMax and Cline with no independent verification.
Built for exactly this: long agentic coding runs where cost adds up fast 🐰 Thanks @cline for having M3.1 Flash ready on day0. Free in Cline now, so point it at your gnarliest repo and let it cook.
Cline: MiniMax M3.1 Flash goes toe-to-toe with Opus and GPT on coding at ~25x lower cost. This was the model behind Space Bunny, the stealth model that’s been topping usage leaderboards recently. Free in Cline now!
