MiniMax M3.1 Flash Gets Day-0 vLLM Support

Why we picked it

Day-0 vLLM support means teams can self-host the new MiniMax model immediately without waiting for community adapters, and NVFP4 quantisation cuts serving cost for inference-heavy agent workloads. Developers running coding or automation agents on their own infrastructure should evaluate it against comparable open serving stacks. MiniMax is a China-based lab, relevant to readers tracking Chinese open models.

MiniMax released M3.1 Flash, and the vLLM project added Day-0 support for serving it. The model targets multi-step automation, real-codebase engineering and visual reasoning. The vLLM serving stack ships native NVFP4 KV cache, NVFP4 MoE weights and DSpark speculative decoding for the model. A link to the model was shared in the announcement thread.
