What is MiniMax Image-01
MiniMax Image-01 is a text-to-image model billed at a flat rate per image: $0.0007 through RouteMux against MiniMax's $0.0035.
Flat per-image billing is the thing that distinguishes it from token-billed image models like GPT Image 2. Cost per picture does not move with prompt length or resolution, which makes budgeting for a high-volume pipeline arithmetic rather than estimation.
It answers on the OpenAI Images protocol, so `/v1/images/generations` works as it would against OpenAI. Input is text only — it generates rather than edits.
