Edge gateways
Requests enter at the gateway nearest your app and go straight to the model, so routing adds very little to each call.
One key, every model
Switch models by changing a string. One prepaid balance covers all of them, billed per token.

How much does MiniMax M3 cost?
$0.744 / 1M tokens output and $0.186 / 1M tokens input, 38% below MiniMax's list price. You pay per token from a prepaid balance, with no subscription or minimum. We match your first $5 top-up, so you start with $10 of credit.
Is it the real MiniMax M3?
Yes. Your requests run on MiniMax's MiniMax M3, 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 M3?
Anything that speaks the OpenAI API: set the base URL to our endpoint and use the model ID minimax-m3. 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 M3's own generation time. Responses stream back token by token.
