How much does MiniMax M2 cost?

MiniMax M2 costs $0.255/M input tokens and $1.02/M output tokens.

What is the context length of MiniMax M2?

MiniMax M2 has a 204,800 token context window. It supports up to 131,072 completion tokens.

Does MiniMax M2 support tool calling and structured outputs?

Yes. MiniMax M2 accepts tools and tool_choice for function calling. It does not support response_format, so JSON output is not enforced.

Which providers serve MiniMax M2?

MiniMax M2 is served by 3 providers on OpenRouter: MiniMax, Google Vertex and NovitaAI. Requests are routed to the best available provider, with automatic failover to the others, and you can pin or exclude providers with provider routing.

When was MiniMax M2 released?

MiniMax-M2 is a compact, high-efficiency large language model optimized for end-to-end coding and agentic workflows. With 10 billion activated parameters (230 billion total), it delivers near-frontier intelligence across general reasoning, tool use, and multi-step task execution while maintaining low latency and deployment efficiency.

The model excels in code generation, multi-file editing, compile-run-fix loops, and test-validated repair, showing strong results on SWE-Bench Verified, Multi-SWE-Bench, and Terminal-Bench. It also performs competitively in agentic evaluations such as BrowseComp and GAIA, effectively handling long-horizon planning, retrieval, and recovery from execution errors.

Benchmarked by Artificial Analysis(opens in new tab), MiniMax-M2 ranks among the top open-source models for composite intelligence, spanning mathematics, science, and instruction-following. Its small activation footprint enables fast inference, high concurrency, and improved unit economics, making it well-suited for large-scale agents, developer assistants, and reasoning-driven applications that require responsiveness and cost efficiency.

To avoid degrading this model's performance, MiniMax highly recommends preserving reasoning between turns. Learn more about using reasoning_details to pass back reasoning in our docs(opens in new tab).

Providers

Different companies host the same model. OpenRouter routes your request to one of them based on the routing mode you pick — Balanced (price + speed), Nitro (fastest), or Exacto (highest tool-calling accuracy).

Uptime

Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and customization options.
