About MiniMax M1
MiniMax‑M1 is a large‑scale hybrid‑attention reasoning model released by MiniMax AI under the Apache 2.0 license. It supports an unprecedented 1 million‑token context window and up to 80,000-token outputs, enabling extended reasoning across long documents. Trained using large‑scale reinforcement learning with a novel CISPO algorithm, MiniMax‑M1 completed full training on 512 H800 GPUs in about three weeks. It achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on benchmarks in mathematics, coding, software engineering, tool usage, and long‑context understanding, matching or outperforming leading models. Two model variants are available (40K and 80K thinking budgets), with weights and deployment scripts provided via GitHub and Hugging Face.

Olmo 3
Olmo 3 is a fully open model family spanning 7 billion and 32 billion parameter variants that delivers not only high-performing base, reasoning, instruction, and reinforcement-learning models, but also exposure of the entire model flow, including raw training data, intermediate checkpoints, training code, long-context support (65,536 token window), and provenance tooling. Starting with the Dolma 3 dataset (≈9 trillion tokens) and its disciplined mix of web text, scientific PDFs, code, and long-form documents, the pre-training, mid-training, and long-context phases shape the base models, which are then post-trained via supervised fine-tuning, direct preference optimisation, and RL with verifiable rewards to yield the Think and Instruct variants. The 32 B Think model is described as the strongest fully open reasoning model to date, competitively close to closed-weight peers in math, code, and complex reasoning.

DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale
DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale is a high-compute variant of the DeepSeek-V3.2 model, created specifically for deep reasoning and advanced problem-solving tasks. It builds on DeepSeek Sparse Attention (DSA), a custom long-context attention mechanism that reduces computational overhead while preserving high performance. Through a large-scale reinforcement learning framework and extensive post-training compute, the Speciale variant surpasses GPT-5 on reasoning benchmarks and matches the capabilities of Gemini-3.0-Pro. The model achieved gold-medal performance in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) 2025 and International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) 2025. DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale does not support tool-calling, making it purely optimized for uninterrupted reasoning and analytical accuracy. Released under the MIT license, it provides researchers and developers an open, state-of-the-art model focused entirely on high-precision reasoning.
