In a post on X, @MiniMaxAgent says MiniMax’s M3.1-Flash-Preview text model is now available on MiniMax Code for development work. The announcement describes it as built for everyday tasks ranging from quick bug fixes to full features.

What MiniMax says the model is for

MiniMax describes M3.1-Flash-Preview as its latest text model and says it is built for everyday development. It also calls the model fast and reliable, but those descriptions are promotional statements rather than independently measured performance results.

Two temporary perks for MiniMax Code users

The announcement describes two separate benefits: double free credits for daily check-ins during a stated window, and Token Plan quota resets. Both are presented as limited-time or event-related perks rather than permanent changes to MiniMax Code.

Daily check-in credits

From September 28 through October 7, in UTC+8, new and existing MiniMax Code users can check in every day to earn double free credits, according to MiniMax. The announcement does not specify the year, the number of credits awarded per check-in, whether missing a day changes eligibility, or the precise redemption rules.

MiniMax says the credits can be used across supported text and multimodal models. Its examples include coding with M3.1-Flash-Preview and creating videos with H3 and H3 Max. The announcement does not provide further details about those models or the limits on using the credits.

Token Plan quota resets

MiniMax says all Token Plan quotas reset for everyone as soon as M3.1-Flash-Preview goes live. It also says more resets are coming. The promotional image describes those later resets as surprises during the event and directs users to in-app announcements for their eligibility and reset times.

The announcement therefore confirms an immediate reset for everyone and signals additional future resets, but it does not give a schedule or explain the mechanics of those later resets.

What the announcement does not establish

The announcement does not provide benchmark results, model specifications, pricing, API access or broader availability outside MiniMax Code. It also does not say how many credits users receive, exactly how the check-in rewards are redeemed, or how later Token Plan resets are allocated.

The supported takeaway is that MiniMax has announced M3.1-Flash-Preview on MiniMax Code and paired its launch with a dated double-credit check-in offer and Token Plan quota-reset announcements.
