MiniMax M3.1 Flash 上架 SambaCloud，推理速度提升近 3 倍

The non-obvious shift here is that a frontier Chinese model can now be customised inside a US platform, with fine-tuning runs staying in the customer's own Python loop rather than a black-box pipeline. Teams building agents can adapt M3.1 Flash with custom reward signals and environments via SFT or RL. This makes MiniMax a direct alternative to open-weight models fine-tuned on Together, with the model served alongside Western options.

Distillation and step reduction directly cut inference cost, which matters for teams serving video generation without large GPU fleets — the Apple Silicon and TPU ports show H3 is no longer tied to one hardware stack. Video developers and studios experimenting with open video models can pick the 4-step or 8-step variants for faster iteration. MiniMax (Hailuo) remains one of the few Chinese labs openly cultivating a third-party ecosystem around video generation.
