Model Card
MiniMax Image-01 is MiniMax's first text-to-image generation model, released in February 2025 and built on the company's experience developing its Hailuo video models.
The model emphasizes prompt-to-image fidelity and logical consistency, rendering nuanced lighting, detailed environments, and complex scenes. It also renders human subjects and objects with realistic textures, expressions, and material detail.
It supports seven aspect ratios (16:9, 4:3, 3:2, 2:3, 3:4, 9:16, and 21:9), generates up to 9 images per request, and accepts a character reference image to keep a person's likeness consistent across generations.
MiniMax says Image-01 costs about a tenth of comparable alternatives, making it suited for developers doing bulk or iterative image generation.

More AI Models From MiniMax
MiniMax M3.1 Flash
MiniMax M3.1 Flash is a multimodal coding model from MiniMax, released on October 19, 2026. MiniMax describes it as a frontier multimodal coding model with a 1M-token context window and tunable thinking depth, built for agentic reasoning, tool use, coding, and structured tasks. It accepts text, image, and video input and returns text. Thinking is always on, with five effort levels (low, medium, high, xhigh, max) where max is the default. Lowering the effort level reduces latency, and requests that disable thinking return an error. MiniMax positions it for everyday development work such as bug fixes, small features, and regression testing. MiniMax reports 73.7% on DeepSWE v1.1 and 61.7 on OSWorld V2. It suits API developers building coding agents and tool-calling workflows that need long context and image or video input.
ChatMiniMax M3
MiniMax M3 is a frontier-level multimodal language model built for long-horizon coding, agentic workflows, and complex reasoning. It introduces MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA), which delivers 15x faster decoding and 9x faster prefill at 1M-token context compared to the prior generation. M3 scores 59.0% on SWE-Bench Pro — surpassing GPT-5.5 and Gemini 3.1 Pro — and achieves the highest score on Claw-Eval (74.5%) for autonomous agent tasks. It accepts text, image, and video inputs natively and supports tool calling through standard MCP scaffolding. Ideal for developers building coding agents, long-document pipelines, and multi-step automation that require sustained, multi-hour autonomous execution.
ChatMiniMax M2.7
MiniMax M2.7 is a proprietary reasoning LLM from Chinese AI startup MiniMax, released on March 18, 2026, notable for being one of the first commercial models to actively participate in its own training through autonomous self-evolution loops. It excels at agentic coding workflows with a 56.2% score on SWE-Pro and strong performance in office productivity tasks, scoring the highest ELO (1495) on GDPval-AA among open-source-tier models. It targets developers building complex agent systems and automated workflows.
