OpenRouter reveals Space Bunny as MiniMax M3.1 Flash
A stealth release topping OpenRouter's leaderboard gives an unusually honest read on how a Chinese lab's model performs under real, unlabelled traffic. Developers can test MiniMax M3.1 Flash free for 72 hours and compare it directly with incumbent options on the same routing platform. The token volume also signals how quickly anonymous Chinese models can gain adoption in Western developer pipelines.
OpenRouter revealed that Space Bunny, its #1 model for 10 straight days, was actually a stealth deployment of MiniMax's M3.1 Flash. The model processed 56.7 trillion tokens during its run, the most of any stealth model on OpenRouter. Space Bunny was taken offline on 5 Oct and returned today as M3.1 Flash. It is free for the next 72 hours.
