MiniMax covers text, video, image and speech on RouteMux. The text models answer on OpenAI Chat Completions, OpenAI Responses and Anthropic Messages; video runs as asynchronous jobs you poll for results; text-to-speech and transcription use the OpenAI-compatible /v1/audio endpoints.
There are two text models, both with a 1M-token context and image input. M3 (June 2026) lets you switch thinking off, offers a priority service tier, and bills inputs above 512K tokens at a long-context rate. M3.1 Flash (October 19, 2026) always thinks, with depth set by reasoning_effort, and MiniMax pitches it on speed and agentic work. The old M2.7, M2.7 HighSpeed and M3.1 Flash Preview names still work and are forwarded to M3.1 Flash.
For video, H3 (July 2026) takes any length from 4 to 15 seconds, outputs 768P or 2K, and can use reference images for character and style; Hailuo 2.3 has fixed 6- and 10-second tiers and is the one to use when you need 1080P. Speech 2.8 comes as HD and Turbo with the same features — HD leans toward audio quality and emotion, Turbo toward speed and cost — and ASR 1.0 turns audio into text with optional speaker labels and timestamps.
Prepaid wallet billed on actual usage. No monthly fee, no minimum, credits never expire. The protocol layer is a native passthrough, not a translation shim: request bodies and SSE streaming match the official API, so clients only need a new base URL.
Every model is priced against the provider's published per-million-token rate at a fixed discount. Cache reads and writes use the same ratio, with no surcharge. The exact per-model rate is in the table above and always reflects current pricing.
Passed through. Request bodies, SSE streaming format, cache control and extended-thinking parameters match the upstream provider. Point your existing SDK at our base URL and the rest of your code stays unchanged.
No. The prepaid wallet is charged by actual token usage, with no monthly fee and no minimum spend. Unused balance can be refunded under our Terms of Service.
