Is it the real MiniMax M2.1?
Yes. Your requests run on MiniMax's MiniMax M2.1, not a distilled copy or a substitute. The discount comes from how we buy capacity, not from changing the model.
Which tools can use MiniMax M2.1?
Anything that speaks the OpenAI API: set the base URL to our endpoint and use the model ID minimax-m2.1. We have setup guides for Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, the OpenAI and Vercel AI SDKs, LangChain and more.
How fast is it?
Requests go through our edge gateways, so the network hop adds very little on top of MiniMax M2.1's own generation time. Responses stream back token by token.
