What is MiniMax?

MiniMax develops foundation models for language, video, speech, and music, and makes them available through developer APIs and AI applications. Its model lineup includes MiniMax M3.1 Flash, MiniMax H3, MiniMax Speech 2.8, and MiniMax Music 3.0. The platform serves individual users as well as developers and enterprises building AI-powered products.

Users can access MiniMax through its applications, including MiniMax Code, MiniMax Design, and MiniMax Audio. It also offers a general-purpose agent built around its own models. Developers can use the API platform to incorporate model capabilities into their software, with a console and developer documentation supporting that workflow.

MiniMax combines proprietary foundation models with open-weight releases, including multimodal and music models. This gives users several ways to work with its technology: through ready-made applications, programmatic API access, or models released with downloadable weights.
