## At a glance

- **Catalogue entry**

  MiniMax M3, served through Featherless. The catalogue marks it as a reasoning model.
- **Context**

  262,144 tokens in one conversation, as the catalogue lists it.

## What was tested

A test series on 14 October 2026 gave the model eight small tasks, two each for coding (SQL), German (correction and negation), reasoning (schedules and probability) and tool calls. MiniMax M3 passed all eight, so the catalogue marks it as suitable for coding, German, reasoning and tool use. This is a quick suitability check, not a general benchmark. For work outside these areas nothing has been measured.

## How to start

1. **Pick it in the chat.**

   Choose MiniMax M3 in the model picker. The picker also shows its current price.
2. **Or use it in the container.**

   Point Claude Code in your container at a model from the ZeroLog catalogue instead of signing in with an Anthropic account. The [CLI docs](https://zerolog.ch/docs/cli) show how.
3. **Give it a goal you can check.**

   For long work, use [/goal](https://zerolog.ch/unattended-agents) with a condition the checker can see in the chat.

## Cost and data

- **Cost**

  Catalogue models are paid from your ZeroLog credit. This page does not repeat prices, because they change; the picker shows the current one. At zero credit, paid models stop.
- **Where your prompts go**

  Prompts for catalogue models go to Featherless in the USA. Chats, files and container disks stay in Seon, Switzerland.
- **Availability**

  ZeroLog is in closed preview, and accounts are opened on request. Providers sometimes retire models, so check your picker for what is available today.
- **License**

  Read the model’s license before you use its output in a product.

## Questions

- **Can I use MiniMax M3 with Claude Code?**

  Yes, in a ZeroLog container. You point the Claude Code CLI at a model from the ZeroLog catalogue instead of signing in with an Anthropic account, and requests count against your ZeroLog credit. MiniMax M3 is in the catalogue, but providers can retire models, so check your picker.
- **How long is the MiniMax M3 context on ZeroLog?**

  The catalogue lists 262,144 tokens for MiniMax M3 served through Featherless. That is the limit for one conversation. Whether a large repository fits depends on how much of it you attach, so add the files you need rather than the whole tree.
- **What did ZeroLog test on MiniMax M3?**

  A small series on 14 October 2026: eight tasks, two each for coding, German, reasoning and tool calls. MiniMax M3 passed all eight. This is a quick suitability check, not a general benchmark, so test the model on your own task before you rely on it.
- **Where do my prompts to MiniMax M3 go?**

  Prompts for catalogue models go to Featherless in the USA. Your chats, files and container disks stay in Seon, Switzerland. The provider sets its own retention terms, so read them before you send sensitive content, and attach credentials only as described in the vault docs.
