Tell me, please, in 3D Studio Max it’s zero at all ...
There is a 3D model in 3ds format, it takes 10 megabytes, you need to convert it to DAE and so that it takes no more than 1 megabyte, but I get 350 o_O
What should I do? How to reduce the size of a 3d model and make it worse?

Reduce the number of polygons. Less polygons -> smaller size.

ProOptimizer modifier, click calculate, and indicate in % how much you want to simplify the model, see the result and save the one you like.
10 megabytes one model weighs, without textures?

*.3ds is an obsolete format. I would drive this *.3ds into MAX and first of all look at what it is. Judging by the size, this is a grid with "collapsed" modifiers. That is why she weighs so much.
Modifiers like Optimize will turn your model into "meat" no matter how good it is in topology. Even in the case of a heavy mesh, it is relatively easy to simplify it by hand. The main thing is just to know how to work with the Editable Poly tools. Of course, within reason. If it is white from the grid in the eyes of white, then there is little that will help.
