MiniMax
MiniMax models are built for throughput. The highspeed variants are tuned for very low latency, which makes them a good fit for interactive products where perceived speed matters more than the last point of benchmark score.
When to use it
At $0.65 per 1M input tokens it sits in line with the catalogue median of $0.69 — a balanced choice. Best for coding agents and repository-scale edits. Every model here is reachable with the same API key, so trialling it against a stronger sibling costs one line of code.
