Saudi AI model HUMAIN M3 clarifies model base based on MiniMax M3 According to Max For AI, Saudi AI company HUMAIN recently released the HUMAIN M3 and initially referred to it as the "100% Saudi model". After being questioned, publisher Sultan Alfaifi clarified that HUMAIN M3 was developed based on the M3 model under Chinese AI company MiniMax. HUMAIN M3 and MiniMax M3 both adopt a hybrid expert architecture, with 428 billion total parameters and 23 billion activation parameters. HUMAIN stated that it uses over 1 trillion Arabic tokens for post training, with a focus on strengthening Arabic, local culture, intelligent agents, tool calling, and computer operation capabilities. HUMAIN stated that the model achieved an average score of 89.37% in 7 Arabic language benchmark tests, and plans to open up the model weights and deploy them on local servers in Saudi Arabia. Max For AI believes that this collaboration demonstrates that Chinese models are moving from providing APIs and products to becoming the technological foundation for other countries to build sovereign AI systems.
