# MiniMax
|
||
|
||
OpenClaw's MiniMax provider defaults to **MiniMax M2.7**.
|
||
|
||
## Model lineup
|
||
|
||
- `MiniMax-M2.7`: default hosted reasoning model.
|
||
- `MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed`: faster M2.7 reasoning tier.
|
||
- `image-01`: image generation model (generate and image-to-image editing).
|
||
|
||
## Image generation
|
||
|
||
The MiniMax plugin registers the `image-01` model for the `image_generate` tool. It supports:
|
||
|
||
- **Text-to-image generation** with aspect ratio control.
|
||
- **Image-to-image editing** (subject reference) with aspect ratio control.
|
||
- Up to **9 output images** per request.
|
||
- Up to **1 reference image** per edit request.
|
||
- Supported aspect ratios: `1:1`, `16:9`, `4:3`, `3:2`, `2:3`, `3:4`, `9:16`, `21:9`.
|
||
|
||
To use MiniMax for image generation, set it as the image generation provider:
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
agents: {
|
||
defaults: {
|
||
imageGenerationModel: { primary: "minimax/image-01" },
|
||
},
|
||
},
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The plugin uses the same `MINIMAX_API_KEY` or OAuth auth as the text models. No additional configuration is needed if MiniMax is already set up.
|
||
|
||
When onboarding or API-key setup writes explicit `models.providers.minimax`
|
||
entries, OpenClaw materializes `MiniMax-M2.7` and
|
||
`MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed` with `input: ["text", "image"]`.
|
||
|
||
The bundled MiniMax provider catalog itself currently advertises those chat
|
||
refs as text-only metadata until explicit provider config is materialized.
|
||
|
||
## Choose a setup
|
||
|
||
### MiniMax OAuth (Coding Plan) - recommended
|
||
|
||
**Best for:** quick setup with MiniMax Coding Plan via OAuth, no API key required.
|
||
|
||
Authenticate with the explicit regional OAuth choice:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
openclaw onboard --auth-choice minimax-global-oauth
|
||
# or
|
||
openclaw onboard --auth-choice minimax-cn-oauth
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Choice mapping:
|
||
|
||
- `minimax-global-oauth`: International users (`api.minimax.io`)
|
||
- `minimax-cn-oauth`: Users in China (`api.minimaxi.com`)
|
||
|
||
See the MiniMax plugin package README in the OpenClaw repo for details.
|
||
|
||
### MiniMax M2.7 (API key)
|
||
|
||
**Best for:** hosted MiniMax with Anthropic-compatible API.
|
||
|
||
Configure via CLI:
|
||
|
||
- Interactive onboarding:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
openclaw onboard --auth-choice minimax-global-api
|
||
# or
|
||
openclaw onboard --auth-choice minimax-cn-api
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- `minimax-global-api`: International users (`api.minimax.io`)
|
||
- `minimax-cn-api`: Users in China (`api.minimaxi.com`)
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
env: { MINIMAX_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
|
||
agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "minimax/MiniMax-M2.7" } } },
|
||
models: {
|
||
mode: "merge",
|
||
providers: {
|
||
minimax: {
|
||
baseUrl: "https://api.minimax.io/anthropic",
|
||
apiKey: "${MINIMAX_API_KEY}",
|
||
api: "anthropic-messages",
|
||
models: [
|
||
{
|
||
id: "MiniMax-M2.7",
|
||
name: "MiniMax M2.7",
|
||
reasoning: true,
|
||
input: ["text", "image"],
|
||
cost: { input: 0.3, output: 1.2, cacheRead: 0.06, cacheWrite: 0.375 },
|
||
contextWindow: 204800,
|
||
maxTokens: 131072,
|
||
},
|
||
{
|
||
id: "MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed",
|
||
name: "MiniMax M2.7 Highspeed",
|
||
reasoning: true,
|
||
input: ["text", "image"],
|
||
cost: { input: 0.6, output: 2.4, cacheRead: 0.06, cacheWrite: 0.375 },
|
||
contextWindow: 204800,
|
||
maxTokens: 131072,
|
||
},
|
||
],
|
||
},
|
||
},
|
||
},
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### MiniMax M2.7 as fallback (example)
|
||
|
||
**Best for:** keep your strongest latest-generation model as primary, fail over to MiniMax M2.7.
|
||
Example below uses Opus as a concrete primary; swap to your preferred latest-gen primary model.
|
||
|
||
```json5
|
||
{
|
||
env: { MINIMAX_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
|
||
agents: {
|
||
defaults: {
|
||
models: {
|
||
"anthropic/claude-opus-4-6": { alias: "primary" },
|
||
"minimax/MiniMax-M2.7": { alias: "minimax" },
|
||
},
|
||
model: {
|
||
primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6",
|
||
fallbacks: ["minimax/MiniMax-M2.7"],
|
||
},
|
||
},
|
||
},
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Configure via `openclaw configure`
|
||
|
||
Use the interactive config wizard to set MiniMax without editing JSON:
|
||
|
||
1. Run `openclaw configure`.
|
||
2. Select **Model/auth**.
|
||
3. Choose a **MiniMax** auth option.
|
||
4. Pick your default model when prompted.
|
||
|
||
Current MiniMax auth choices in the wizard/CLI:
|
||
|
||
- `minimax-global-oauth`
|
||
- `minimax-cn-oauth`
|
||
- `minimax-global-api`
|
||
- `minimax-cn-api`
|
||
|
||
## Configuration options
|
||
|
||
- `models.providers.minimax.baseUrl`: prefer `https://api.minimax.io/anthropic` (Anthropic-compatible); `https://api.minimax.io/v1` is optional for OpenAI-compatible payloads.
|
||
- `models.providers.minimax.api`: prefer `anthropic-messages`; `openai-completions` is optional for OpenAI-compatible payloads.
|
||
- `models.providers.minimax.apiKey`: MiniMax API key (`MINIMAX_API_KEY`).
|
||
- `models.providers.minimax.models`: define `id`, `name`, `reasoning`, `contextWindow`, `maxTokens`, `cost`.
|
||
- `agents.defaults.models`: alias models you want in the allowlist.
|
||
- `models.mode`: keep `merge` if you want to add MiniMax alongside built-ins.
|
||
|
||
## Notes
|
||
|
||
- Model refs are `minimax/<model>`.
|
||
- Default chat model: `MiniMax-M2.7`
|
||
- Alternate chat model: `MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed`
|
||
- Onboarding and direct API-key setup write explicit model definitions with
|
||
`input: ["text", "image"]` for both M2.7 variants
|
||
- The bundled provider catalog currently exposes the chat refs as text-only
|
||
metadata until explicit MiniMax provider config exists
|
||
- Coding Plan usage API: `https://api.minimaxi.com/v1/api/openplatform/coding_plan/remains` (requires a coding plan key).
|
||
- Update pricing values in `models.json` if you need exact cost tracking.
|
||
- Referral link for MiniMax Coding Plan (10% off): [https://platform.minimax.io/subscribe/coding-plan?code=DbXJTRClnb&source=link](https://platform.minimax.io/subscribe/coding-plan?code=DbXJTRClnb&source=link)
|
||
- See [/concepts/model-providers](/concepts/model-providers) for provider rules.
|
||
- Use `openclaw models list` and `openclaw models set minimax/MiniMax-M2.7` to switch.
|
||
|
||
## Troubleshooting
|
||
|
||
### "Unknown model: minimax/MiniMax-M2.7"
|
||
|
||
This usually means the **MiniMax provider isn’t configured** (no provider entry
|
||
and no MiniMax auth profile/env key found). A fix for this detection is in
|
||
**2026.1.12**. Fix by:
|
||
|
||
- Upgrading to **2026.1.12** (or run from source `main`), then restarting the gateway.
|
||
- Running `openclaw configure` and selecting a **MiniMax** auth option, or
|
||
- Adding the `models.providers.minimax` block manually, or
|
||
- Setting `MINIMAX_API_KEY` (or a MiniMax auth profile) so the provider can be injected.
|
||
|
||
Make sure the model id is **case‑sensitive**:
|
||
|
||
- `minimax/MiniMax-M2.7`
|
||
- `minimax/MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed`
|
||
|
||
Then recheck with:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
openclaw models list
|
||
```
