MiniMax launched M3.1 Flash with API rates of $0.15 / $0.60 per million tokens. A practical evaluation plan for support, CRM and coding workflows.

Half of Opus’s input and output rates does not mean half the bill. A practical pilot for support and development, with cache costs and Messages API changes.

Meta has opened Muse Spark 1.1 through a paid Model API. The important part is not the benchmark story, but the combination of aggressive pricing, agentic positioning, custom chips, and possible cloud infrastructure.

Google released Gemini 3.5 Flash at I/O 2026. Independent benchmarks show excellent speed and agentic performance, but also a higher cost than the older Flash model and weaker spots in hard coding, instruction following and sensitive decisions.
