Pricing tiers: Official docs say this latest M-series language model is available only through M Plan and MiniMax Code for now. M Plan is subscription access, not the per-token PAYG API; no model-specific token price was verified.

Best for

  • Agentic coding
  • Long-context tasks
  • M Plan/MiniMax Code access

Watch out

Requires M Plan subscription access through MiniMax Code or compatible APIs; no PAYG token tariff is verified. Low/medium/high/xhigh/max default to max; none or disabled thinking returns HTTP 400. Anthropic uses output_config.effort; OpenAI uses reasoning_effort. Preserve full thinking/tool history. Exact release day, output cap, parameters, weights and licence remain unknown; do not inherit M3 data.
