MiniMax M2

by MiniMax

Released 131 days after MiniMax M1 · All MiniMax releases

MiniMax M2 is a 230-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with only 10 billion active parameters per token, engineered for high-efficiency performance in coding and agentic workflows. The sparse architecture keeps capability competitive across developer-focused tasks while reducing the compute spent per token. The model scores 69.4 on SWE-bench Verified, 82 on MMLU-Pro, and 46.3 on Terminal-Bench, and its composite intelligence score ranks first among open-source models across mathematics, science, coding, and tool use. It is built for multi-file editing, compile-run-fix loops, test-validated repair, and agentic evaluations including BrowseComp and GAIA. M2 uses interleaved thinking wrapped in think tags, which should be preserved in conversation history for best results. Recommended sampling settings are temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95, and top_k 40.

Single route, no failover target within this model.

Name a second model in the same request and the gateway tries it on retriable errors, so a busy hour never has to reach your users. Set up a fallback chain.

Measured over the last 30 days from each provider's official status feed via StatusGator. Refreshed hourly. See uptime for every provider Opper monitors.
