On the afternoon of October 19th, MiniMax formally acknowledged the previously unattributed Space Bunny model via a short video, accompanied by a caption that warmly greeted Space Bunny's comeback. Since its debut in late September, the model swiftly ascended to the pinnacle of the Token daily call volume rankings on both OpenRouter and OpenCode within a mere three days, sharing the top three spots alongside DeepSeek V4.1 Flash and GLM 5.3 Flash. It has been reported that the Space Bunny model serves as an early iteration of the forthcoming MiniMax M3.1 Flash, a model that is now on the verge of its official release.
