The company reports output speeds above 170 tokens per second at the median and a 70% lower usage cost for agentic tasks than its predecessor.
Pricing is $0.15 per million input tokens and $0.60 per million output tokens, and the model is available through the MiniMax API, M Plan, and MiniMax Code, with weights to follow later.
