## How to pick within MiniMax

- **MiniMax M3** for quick general-purpose work on an open-source model.

A very large input can cost more per call on this model than the cost band suggests.

## Set it on an agent or a chat

Open the model menu in the builder chat or on an agent. In the builder chat, open **More models** and choose from the provider groups. In the agent editor, choose from **All Models**. The choice applies only to that surface. An AI step in an automation offers TSK-Auto and the rungs only.

If you do not want to pin a model, a [rung](https://www.taskade.com/docs/models#tsk-rungs) sets a speed-to-depth trade-off and follows the catalog forward as models change.

## How MiniMax performs

We build the same apps on every family and publish what happened. See the [MiniMax build results](https://www.taskade.com/tsk/minimax) for the test-by-test record.
