minimax m3 outperformed kimi k2.6 on artificial analysis intelligence index – but is it really better?
55 vs 54. a 1-point lead on the index. with a 1.5-month gap between them
kimi wins osworld verified (73.1 vs 70) and leads on speed – 95 tok/s median vs 58.8. minimax takes swe bench pro (59 vs 58.6) and browsecomp (83.5 vs 83.2) by razor margins. plus a 1m context window vs kimi's 262k
kimi k2.6 dropped april 20. minimax answered with m3 on june 1 – and caught up on multimodal input
what this really tells you: these models have commodified. the gap is noise, not signal
we'll wait for moonshot to answer
