HUMAIN, a PIF company delivering full-stack artificial intelligence capabilities globally, has announced humain-m3, a frontier Arabic-language model commissioned by HUMAIN and delivered by MiniMax. 

The model is available in research preview today through HUMAIN Node, HUMAIN's platform providing developers, researchers and enterprises access to advanced AI models and inference capabilities.

Built on the MiniMax-M3 lineage, humain-m3 is a 428-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model further pre-trained on more than one trillion tokens of Arabic-native content. In evaluations across seven public Arabic benchmarks, humain-m3 achieved the highest average score among the frontier models tested, demonstrating strong performance across Arabic language understanding and reasoning.

The launch brings together two important elements of HUMAIN's intelligence strategy: developing world-class AI capabilities for Arabic and making frontier intelligence more accessible through HUMAIN Node.

HUMAIN Node serves as an access point for enterprises to advanced AI models and scaled inference, connecting developers and organizations with the intelligence required to build, test and deploy AI applications. Through Node, HUMAIN is supporting its own growing portfolio of AI capabilities while creating an ecosystem through which leading models from HUMAIN and around the world can be accessed and deployed.

humain-m3 will initially be available through HUMAIN Node as a research and evaluation preview, enabling researchers and developers to test its capabilities and provide feedback ahead of a planned open-weight release.

"Arabic is spoken by hundreds of millions of people, yet it remains significantly underrepresented at the frontier of artificial intelligence," said Tareq Amin, CEO, HUMAIN. "With humain-m3, we are investing in changing that. And through HUMAIN Node, we are making that intelligence accessible so developers, researchers and innovators can experiment with it, build on it and create the next generation of Arabic AI experiences."

The development of humain-m3 reflects HUMAIN's broader commitment to strengthening the Arabic AI ecosystem while contributing to the global development of frontier intelligence. Alongside developing its own models and products, including the ALLAM family of Arabic models, HUMAIN is investing in and working with leading AI companies globally to expand access to advanced AI capabilities.

Across seven public Arabic benchmarks, humain-m3 achieved the highest average performance among the frontier models evaluated.

HUMAIN expects the model weights to be released under the MiniMax Community License following completion of safety training and alignment, currently targeted for next month.
