MiniMax: MiniMax M2.1
🇨🇳 MiniMax · MiniMax M2.1
Overview
MiniMax: MiniMax M2.1 is a large language model API from MiniMax, part of its MiniMax M2.1 model family. Priced at $0.300 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output tokens, it occupies the mid-range, balancing capability against running cost. Output tokens cost about 4× as much as input, so prompt-heavy workloads run noticeably cheaper than generation-heavy ones. A large 205K-token context window (≈307 pages of text) lets it take in whole books, large codebases, or lengthy transcripts in a single call. On Artificial Analysis's Intelligence Index it scores 31 (C grade), a useful proxy for its general reasoning strength relative to the other models tracked here. All prices on this page reflect OpenRouter's routed rates and are re-synced automatically every day; confirm against the provider's official pricing before committing to production.
