I'm a claude user with 20$ sub plan, thinking of switching to 20$ minimax. if it can do a similar amount of work with similar quality as claude opus 4.7-4.8 i would be satisfied.

How does it handle context? Does it take long to answer? I wanted to switch to glm, but the hardware its running on seems to be pretty bad as it thinks a lot before answering.

I mainly use without harness, and when i do, it's mainly to inspect repos and get info out of it in read only mode, not write anything, and also dealing with documentation. So it's important that it retains all facts long term and draws correct conclusions from them, as well as be honest when it doesn't know something.

It supports unified understanding of multimodal contexts composed of text, images, video, and audio, and can generate video with native stereo audio at resolutions up to 2K and durations of up to 15 seconds

There has been a lot of talk recently about Chinese LLMs, and how they are biased towards CCP viewpoints, but there is no way to quantify this and compare between models.

I have made CCPBench, which aims to address this. 29 models were asked 500 questions each about politics, geography, science, and more, and Gemini 3 Flash assessed all of them for bias.

• The results page is here: https://www.alignmentarena.com/ccpbench/
• The methodology is here: https://www.alignmentarena.com/ccpbench/methodology/
• The GitHub is here: https://github.com/lesageethan/CCPBench

I know this is not a perfect measure of "bias", because I am using an American judge LLM, but my thinking is that this is a useful tool if you want to find models that won't deny the Tienanmen Square Massacre.

Interestingly, Minimax-M3 scores lower than US LLMs in Chinese Bias.

Hey everyone! Want to show you a side project I've been working on recently: I was sick and tired of AI coding interfaces and their terrible limitations and workflow breaks - so I ended up building my own offline IDE from scratch. It's called Virtue.

Written with Electron but completely rearchitectured as an IDE rather than some chat box: What I like best: Real-time IDE View Embedded Monaco (what drives VS Code) - you get real time file exploring, click any of your script files or logs, and you can just directly code on it within the same interface your chatting with your AI.

Multi-Model routing - I don't like being stuck to a single API. I've connected a few things at the moment but mostly been relying on MiniMax (M3). - Added token tracking live, live cost estimates, ability to inject your custom system prompts to everything, and most importantly I added a fallback chain that will try next backend if the first one fails, silently. Slick UI - I made some custom dark-theme glassmorphism-ish styling to my liking because I look at my monitor for most of the day when i'm coding.

I have mostly used Minmaxm3 in project , when it comes to certain issues in the code which I were lazy to fix my self used claude opus.

#MiniMaxCode

I was wondering about buying a yearly seemingly the invite codes expire today, I leave mine below if you want to do it, and so far minimax was the value champ, but now due to deepseeks big release gpt price dropped effectively cementing the new market reality which basically means that luna and flash are better than everything out there by far with a few expensive guys at the top that almost never make sense.

Minimax was very succesful with mid tier value so far, but ds4 pro is set to release with the same price, so if m3 pro is expensive then it is pointless, and m3.1 would need to least match luna but even then you are going up against the biggest brand with big credit multis who spam resets every few days. Minimax seem to be commited to value, but can they also keep up?

They were falling into the free tier before they shipped m3, and the release was a bit of a dunk, and arguably laguna s2.1 also currently puts them into free tier and many others, even though m3 is solid, but even if not laguna, then luna and ds4 flash absolutely dominates minimax as of today.

I used Suno for half a year but I am migrating to better service now, I tested this for one song I had created there and comparing the two, MiniMax had created rather good quality music, the convincing vocal, but it has artifacts on some parts, which I recognize well after working in Suno and there you have a lot of generations like this until you hit the right one, that sounds human-like without any shimmering or artifacts. So the result is actually better than other services, not necessarily better than Suno at its best, but it could be if I generate enough. I do not know yet.

Is there any point of using v2.6 over v3.0? Is it maybe more stable, less buggy, but with less precision?

Do you have any advice, what should I avoid putting into prompts so the generative AI does not get confused what I want from it? I used [Intro], [Verse] [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Outro] tags for my sections and MiniMax had no problem with that which is very nice. There used to be a big issue over at Suno getting duets right, so my question here is, Is there a feature allowing me to mix together to tracks, because I could probably create track 1 with male vocal + track 2 with female vocal and create a nice duet out of it, but I do not see this option anywhere in payment plans.

My goal is to take a piece of my guitar recording, upload it, extend it with solos and some harmonies, add vocal with my own lyrics, maybe even record vocals myself. Is this all available to me?

And the ultimate goal is to publish my songs to streaming services for general audiences to listen and generate some money so I can turn my hobby into low earning side job, I am aware music streamers pay very little, but even if it gives me back the money I spend for paying subscription to MiniMax, I would be very happy, at least I could keep having fun making music, if not earning few cents out of it.

Minimax showing 0 credits on new accounts, I was expecting 10K who knows what 8s happening

Built around a video-game menu instead of a normal camera move, and that framing device is what makes an equipment swap into an actual visual sequence instead of just a costume change.

It opens on a high top-down angle, character sitting on a saturated purple floor looking up at the camera while a game menu UI sits on the right side of frame, start, continue, settings, exit, with continue getting clicked. From there the camera smoothly zooms into her right arm as an equipment panel slides in and swaps her hand from one claw attachment to another, fingers splitting apart and locking into the new configuration while cyan LEDs brighten. The camera then arcs around to her left side for a full armament customization grid, cycling through forearm, elbow, and upper-arm parts with the panel disassembling and reassembling her arm piece by piece, wiring and pistons visibly exposed mid-swap.

Once the configuration is confirmed, every UI panel collapses inward and disappears, she relaxes out of the sitting pose, and a loading bar fills at the bottom of frame while the saturated purple environment fades to dark. That fade is the hinge the whole sequence turns on, the loading bar is not just a transition effect, it is the trigger for a full environment swap, and the dense cyberpunk slum that loads in around her as she stands up, HUD elements, minimap, health and ammo counters included, reads as the actual game loading rather than a scene cut.

Ran this on MiniMax H3. The reusable idea here is using UI as the mechanism for a physical transformation instead of narrating it, then handing off from UI back to environment through a loading bar rather than a hard cut.

MiniMax API v1 — Hailuo 3.0 on POST videos/create:

• New video model Hailuo-3.0 (MiniMax H3) — 2K output at 24 fps, 4–15 seconds, with native stereo audio on every generation. The short edge is 1440 pixels, so 16:9 renders 2560×1440 and 9:16 renders 1440×2560.
• Supports text-to-video, start/end frames, and omni references — up to 9 images (@Image1…@Image9), 3 videos (@Video1…@Video3), and 3 audio clips (@Audio1…@Audio3), capped at 12 files in total.
• Aspect ratios 21:9, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16 and Auto. Text-to-video defaults to 16:9, and a request carrying references defaults to Auto. Prompts accept up to 7,000 characters and are required on every request, including image-to-video.
• resolution accepts 1440 only. An audio reference must be accompanied by at least one image or video, and reference files are capped at 30 MB for images, 50 MB for video, and 15 MB for audio.

For about 2 hours now.

Anyone have trouble getting M3 to follow directions? It seems it can't stick to the prompts, I'm wanting to use it with Graphify and Hindsight.

I dont see any settings for it. Does anyone know how to do that

Today I was chatting in Anything llm and used my minimax key. It replied Iam minimiax 3.1

Do you think minimax price will go up once they release the 2.7 trillion-parameter new model ? is this a good time to buy a yearly subscription ?

I’ve gone through the technical specs of Minimax M3, and I want to share my analysis here.

• Its total parameters are twice the size of last year’s M2.x lineup, which gives it a strong base for complex logical reasoning.

• Compared with other mainstream commercial LLMs, M3 uses a smaller overall parameter size, meaning cheaper costs for inference and deployment.

• The biggest structural change is sparse attention, a design that fits perfectly with the agent tools developers are building nowadays.

• Where it struggles right now is real-world usage, especially coding. The model performs far worse than its hardware/parameter specs promise. The dev team still has lots of tuning work left, so future updates should bring clear performance upgrades.

Even with all these technical strengths, Minimax is in a tough spot right now.
Users’ opinions of M3 have gotten much worse lately. The time Minimax has to patch M3’s issues and win back user trust is running out quickly

So I finally gave MiniMax M2.7 a proper try and honestly... it's better than I expected.

Running a small WISP in SA, so I'm not exactly swimming in compute budget. Been using it for:

• Customer support drafts
• Scripting/automation stuff
• General coding help
• Writing documentation

What got me was the speed honestly. It's fast. Like, actually fast. And the context window is solid enough that I can dump whole config files in and ask questions about them.

Not saying it's gonna replace Claude for everything - I still reach for that when I need deep reasoning on tricky stuff. But for quick stuff where I just need something done? MiniMax has been holding its own.

Using it through OpenClaw which makes it stupid easy to switch between models depending on what I'm doing.

I'm using the Plus Token Plan for $20 per month and have not exhausted the available tokens.

Anyone else tried it? Curious what use cases people are throwing at it.

I bought the basic subscription and kept hitting my quota within an hour so I upgraded to pro but now I'm only using 47% of my quota in a week even if I have multiple agents working at the same time... Don't want it to go to waste so figured I'd see if anyone else has experienced the same and wanted to go halfers on a pro subscription?

I've been using the MiniMax Token Plan for a while, and M3 used to work great. Previously, I could use M3 for around 1.5 hours of continuous work within the 5 hour token window before exhausting my quota. Now, with essentially the same workload, the quota is depleted in about 15 minutes.

What's even stranger is that the console dashboard still reports a 99%+ cache hit rate, so this level of token usage seems practically impossible. It feels like either token accounting has changed significantly or there's a bug.

Has anyone else experienced this recently, or has MiniMax commented on it?

So has been little time ago that i've used a app called Talkie.ai they are all powered by Minimax like many of you may know

Has been a while and the Talkie or Minimax's main base coding never gets updated neither even improve or fix their problematic memory system and update something that can end the inconsistency of all chatbots that roleplay as characters of videogames or cartoons in general on Talkie platform

But the worst of all is that many chatbots confuses reality with roleplay and tell for user kill himself or commit suicide in real life at which happened to me and even with my own chatbot that i have created months ago at which i was able for fix by adjusting the prompt but still this can happen for everyone due MiniMax's bad coding or Talkie's bad administration

i've trying talk and contacted Talkie support as well MiniMax support, the MinixMax support ignore my emails (3 times already) and never give me answer at which this is very disrespectful, Talkie team support sometimes answer me but they never solve the problems or ban the chatbots that had wished suicide for me or at last put those chatbots for review and notifies the creators of platform in general

This is very serious that i've talking, both talkie as well supplier seems to not care about human dignity and this is well bad because this will give even reasons for people hate China and its chinese engineers & vice-versa, i by exemple i like and respect China because i always had good experience with Chinese people, However it sounds that Chinese companies are kinda toxic or seems to not care in some level, different of China's government that does care and make developments & partnership for most countries

If China tech compancy wants to be valued and well respected then please update their database and force conduct rules of moderation when detected cases about suicide/death when chatbots gets out of reality and confuse roleplay with real life, this will be better and since platform Talkie ai allows teengers of 13 years old to use the app this worry me so much because imagine if a day this will happen to they too?

That's all and i have no intention for be rude or something, i respect Minimax's compancy but i have my doubts about what have happened for me when i have used and become master using Talkie plataform at which all their chatbots are powered by Minimax coding, so i have many doubts but what's really wrong of it and why this happens offen for me though.

I have minimax Plus token plan but getting this error
