MiniMax Speech 2.8 Turbo is a text-to-speech model from MiniMax. It is suited for applications that generate spoken audio from text and accepts arbitrary MiniMax voice IDs.

MiniMax-M3 is a multimodal foundation model from MiniMax. It supports text, image, and video inputs with text output, a 1M-token context window, and is suited for long-horizon agentic work, coding, and tool use. It is built on MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA), which replaces full attention with KV-block selection to cut per-token compute at long context — roughly 1/20 the cost of the previous generation at 1M tokens, with substantially faster prefill and decode while retaining quality across most tasks.

Trained as a native multimodal model on interleaved data and tuned for multi-turn, production-like collaboration via an interactive user-simulator framework, the model is oriented toward sustained, multi-step tasks rather than single-turn execution.

Hailuo 2.3 is a video generation model from MiniMax. It accepts text prompts and reference images as input and generates video output, supporting both text-to-video and image-to-video workflows. It is suited for creative content production, cinematic scene generation, and character animation, with a focus on realistic motion and expressive character rendering.

MiniMax-M2.7 is a next-generation large language model designed for autonomous, real-world productivity and continuous improvement. Built to actively participate in its own evolution, M2.7 integrates advanced agentic capabilities through multi-agent collaboration, enabling it to plan, execute, and refine complex tasks across dynamic environments.

Trained for production-grade performance, M2.7 handles workflows such as live debugging, root cause analysis, financial modeling, and full document generation across Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. It delivers strong results on benchmarks including 56.2% on SWE-Pro and 57.0% on Terminal Bench 2, while achieving a 1495 ELO on GDPval-AA, setting a new standard for multi-agent systems operating in real-world digital workflows.

MiniMax-M2.5 is a SOTA large language model designed for real-world productivity. Trained in a diverse range of complex real-world digital working environments, M2.5 builds upon the coding expertise of M2.1 to extend into general office work, reaching fluency in generating and operating Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files, context switching between diverse software environments, and working across different agent and human teams. Scoring 80.2% on SWE-Bench Verified, 51.3% on Multi-SWE-Bench, and 76.3% on BrowseComp, M2.5 is also more token efficient than previous generations, having been trained to optimize its actions and output through planning.

MiniMax M2-her is a dialogue-first large language model built for immersive roleplay, character-driven chat, and expressive multi-turn conversations. Designed to stay consistent in tone and personality, it supports rich message roles (user_system, group, sample_message_user, sample_message_ai) and can learn from example dialogue to better match the style and pacing of your scenario, making it a strong choice for storytelling, companions, and conversational experiences where natural flow and vivid interaction matter most.

MiniMax-M2.1 is a lightweight, state-of-the-art large language model optimized for coding, agentic workflows, and modern application development. With only 10 billion activated parameters, it delivers a major jump in real-world capability while maintaining exceptional latency, scalability, and cost efficiency.

Compared to its predecessor, M2.1 delivers cleaner, more concise outputs and faster perceived response times. It shows leading multilingual coding performance across major systems and application languages, achieving 49.4% on Multi-SWE-Bench and 72.5% on SWE-Bench Multilingual, and serves as a versatile agent “brain” for IDEs, coding tools, and general-purpose assistance.

MiniMax-M2 is a compact, high-efficiency large language model optimized for end-to-end coding and agentic workflows. With 10 billion activated parameters (230 billion total), it delivers near-frontier intelligence across general reasoning, tool use, and multi-step task execution while maintaining low latency and deployment efficiency.

The model excels in code generation, multi-file editing, compile-run-fix loops, and test-validated repair, showing strong results on SWE-Bench Verified, Multi-SWE-Bench, and Terminal-Bench. It also performs competitively in agentic evaluations such as BrowseComp and GAIA, effectively handling long-horizon planning, retrieval, and recovery from execution errors.

Benchmarked by Artificial Analysis, MiniMax-M2 ranks among the top open-source models for composite intelligence, spanning mathematics, science, and instruction-following. Its small activation footprint enables fast inference, high concurrency, and improved unit economics, making it well-suited for large-scale agents, developer assistants, and reasoning-driven applications that require responsiveness and cost efficiency.

MiniMax-M1 is a large-scale, open-weight reasoning model designed for extended context and high-efficiency inference. It leverages a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture paired with a custom "lightning attention" mechanism, allowing it to process long sequences—up to 1 million tokens—while maintaining competitive FLOP efficiency. With 456 billion total parameters and 45.9B active per token, this variant is optimized for complex, multi-step reasoning tasks.

Trained via a custom reinforcement learning pipeline (CISPO), M1 excels in long-context understanding, software engineering, agentic tool use, and mathematical reasoning. Benchmarks show strong performance across FullStackBench, SWE-bench, MATH, GPQA, and TAU-Bench, often outperforming other open models like DeepSeek R1 and Qwen3-235B.

MiniMax-01 is a combines MiniMax-Text-01 for text generation and MiniMax-VL-01 for image understanding. It has 456 billion parameters, with 45.9 billion parameters activated per inference, and can handle a context of up to 4 million tokens.

The text model adopts a hybrid architecture that combines Lightning Attention, Softmax Attention, and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE). The image model adopts the “ViT-MLP-LLM” framework and is trained on top of the text model.
