List of MiniMax Models
MiniMax M2.5
minimax/minimax-m2.5
MiniMax M2.5 is a 230B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model (10B active) from Shanghai-based MiniMax, designed for real-world productivity with state-of-the-art performance in coding (80.2% SWE-Bench Verified), agentic tool use, and search tasks. It rivals top models from Anthropic and OpenAI while costing 1/10th to 1/20th the price, positioning itself as frontier intelligence 'too cheap to meter.' The model excels at full-stack development, office work (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), and autonomous agent workflows.
ChatMiniMax M2-her
minimax/minimax-m2-her
MiniMax M2-her is a dialogue-first large language model built for immersive roleplay, character-driven chat, and expressive multi-turn conversations. It stays consistent in tone and personality across conversations and supports rich message roles to learn from example dialogue. This makes it well-suited for storytelling, AI companions, and conversational experiences where natural flow matters.
ChatMiniMax M2.1
minimax/minimax-m2.1
MiniMax-M2.1 is an enhanced version of M2 with significantly improved multi-language programming capabilities and office scenario support. It features more concise responses, better instruction following, and matches or exceeds Claude Sonnet 4.5 on coding benchmarks while maintaining excellent agent/tool scaffolding generalization.
ChatMiniMax M2
minimax/minimax-m2
MiniMax-M2 is a compact MoE model (230B total, 10B active parameters) optimized for coding and agentic workflows with a 128K context window. It ranks #1 among open-source models for tool use and agent tasks, delivering elite performance in multi-step development workflows at 8% the cost of comparable models.
VideoMiniMax Hailuo 02
minimax/hailuo-02
MiniMax Hailuo 02 is a next-generation AI video model ranked #2 globally, featuring native 1080p output and advanced physics simulation for realistic motion including gravity, fluid dynamics, and complex movements like gymnastics. It uses Noise-aware Compute Redistribution (NCR) architecture for 2.5x improved efficiency, with 3x more parameters and 4x more training data than its predecessor. The model supports both text-to-video and image-to-video generation with clips up to 10 seconds.
ChatMiniMax M1
minimax/minimax-m1
MiniMax-M1 is the world's first open-source hybrid-attention reasoning model, featuring a 1 million token context window and 80K reasoning output budget. It excels in software engineering, long-context tasks, and complex reasoning while being trained with an efficient CISPO reinforcement learning algorithm.
VideoMiniMax Video-01 Director
minimax/video-01-director
MiniMax Video-01 Director is an AI video generation model that specializes in creating HD videos with precise cinematic camera control. It supports 720p resolution at 25fps and generates clips up to 5 seconds, allowing users to specify camera movements like pans, zooms, and tracking shots through natural language or bracketed commands. The model significantly reduces movement randomness compared to standard video models, enabling more accurate and intentional storytelling.
ChatMiniMax-01
minimax/minimax-01
MiniMax-01 is a 456B parameter foundation model (45.9B activated) using a hybrid Lightning Attention + MoE architecture, achieving top-tier performance on reasoning, math, and coding benchmarks. It supports up to 4 million tokens of context, making it especially strong for long-context tasks and AI agent applications.
