When not to use it

Trust this before you buy

  • When you need a Continuum-hosted SKU from this lab, use the hosted card on this hub instead of this catalog row.
  • $0.30 in / $1.20 out per 1M on the 2026-08-19 OpenRouter row. Context 204,800 in / 131,072 out.
  • Need a denser published sibling on this hub? MiniMax M3 is the card already on the cluster.

No other card in this cluster shares a published DeepSWE official row we can put next to this one. We will not compare on vendor-blog numbers.

Continue through MiniMax's model family with MiniMax M2.

FAQ

Why does the lab blog disagree with DeepSWE or Scale?

Lab posts pick a harness, an effort, a split, and sometimes a private eval set. DeepSWE publishes the official mini-swe-agent row with cost, tokens, and steps. Scale SWE-bench Pro only counts when the public shared-harness board has a row we can fetch. A higher lab number is usually a different test, not a better one.

OpenAI-compatible call

No Continuum hosted id is verified for this model, so this page does not invent a curl target. Use the first-party API or the OpenRouter slug minimax/minimax-m2.1.
