More AI Models From MiniMax
MiniMax 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.
ChatMiniMax 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 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.
