MiniMax's new M3.1 Flash beats DeepSeek and Opus 5 on a key business benchmark at lower cost — but with a high hallucination rate

A Chinese artificial intelligence startup has built a model that outperforms industry leaders on a crucial business benchmark while costing significantly less to run, raising uncomfortable questions about whether speed and efficiency now matter more than accuracy in the race to dominate enterprise AI. MiniMax's new M3.1 Flash system beat both OpenAI's latest reasoning model and DeepSeek's offering on standard performance tests, yet the company's own data suggests the model frequently invents information—a flaw that could prove catastrophic for businesses relying on it for high-stakes decisions. The gap between what works on paper and what works in the real world has never been wider, or more commercially consequential.
