GLM-4.6, MiniMax-M2, and Ministral-3 Now Available on FriendliAI

As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the latest frontier models, we’re excited to announce full support for GLM-4.6, MiniMax-M2, and Ministral-3 across Serverless and Dedicated Endpoints.

The open-source frontier is evolving faster than ever, and GLM-4.6, MiniMax-M2, and Ministral-3 series stand out as three of the most capable models in reasoning, long-context understanding, and tool usage.

All these models are now available on FriendliAI through our OpenAI-compatible API, with full tool-calling support for agentic workflows across Serverless Endpoints and Dedicated Endpoints. For teams building agentic AI systems, this means you can deploy these highly efficient, cutting-edge models with FriendliAI’s signature performance, reliability, and cost efficiency.

Why These New Models Matter

GLM-4.6: Longer Context and Superior Reasoning

• One of the most capable open large-context models available.
• Supports a 200k-token context window.
• Strong at reasoning, coding, and tool use.
• Excels in tasks requiring:
  • Sustained long-context understanding
  • Structured outputs
  • Multi-step reasoning
  • Analysis of long documents
  • Coordination of complex workflows
• Efficient and practical for production systems needing transparency, customization, and scalability.
• Well-suited for tool-using, RAG, and agentic applications requiring both intelligence and operational flexibility.

MiniMax‑M2: Compact, Efficient, and Scalable

• Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model: 230B total parameters, 10B active.
• Delivers state-of-the-art performance on reasoning, coding, and agentic tasks while staying efficient.
• Supports a 128k-token context window.
• Strong at tasks such as:
  • Handling long documents or full codebases
  • Multi-file edits
  • Code generation and fixing
  • Long-horizon planning and tool-using pipelines (shell, browser, code runner, retrieval, etc.)
• Offers cutting-edge capability with lower latency, lower cost, and easier scaling than dense frontier models.

Ministral-3 Series: Efficient, Multimodal Reasoning with Vision

• Optimized transformer-based model designed for efficient reasoning and instruction following.
• Delivers strong performance on reasoning, coding, and tool-using tasks with a focus on stability and control.
• Designed for low-latency, cost-efficient deployment compared to large dense frontier models.
• Strong at tasks such as:
  • Multi-step reasoning with structured outputs
  • Tool calling and function-driven workflows
  • Agentic pipelines requiring predictable behavior
  • RAG and automation systems operating at scale
• Offers a practical balance of intelligence, efficiency, and reliability for real-world production environments.
