MiniMax M3.1 Flash, explained

A one-page guide to a new model: how smart it is, what it costs, and eleven real builds against the frontier.

Eleven briefs, each built once by M3.1 Flash and once by a rival, shown side by side with what every run cost. A bill calculator, the code to run it, and where it fits.

I designed and wrote it as a guide you can check: every number sits next to its source.
