Benchmark leaderboards featuring MiniMax M1
All leaderboardsMiniMax M1: common questions
How much does MiniMax M1 cost per 1M tokens?
MiniMax M1 is listed at $0.55 per 1M input tokens and $2.20 per 1M output tokens as of 6 November 2026. Prices come from the OpenRouter catalogue and re-observe on every refresh. For 1,000 requests using 2,000 input and 500 output tokens each, the listed rates imply $2.20 total (2M input + 0.5M output). This excludes caching, batch discounts, prompt-length tiers, tool charges and retries; verify the chosen endpoint's rate and limits before budgeting.
What is the context window of MiniMax M1?
MiniMax M1 has a published context window of 1M tokens (1,000,000). The snapshot lists a 40,000 token catalogue-declared route output cap. OpenRouter catalogue or provider-endpoint declaration. Limits can vary by provider and prompt length; a model-wide maximum has not been independently verified. The providers table lists each endpoint's context limit.
Is MiniMax M1 open-weight?
No linked weights. No downloadable model weights are linked in the current source data. This does not identify every API or chat product that offers the model.
Which API providers serve MiniMax M1?
One provider serves MiniMax M1 through OpenRouter as of 6 November 2026: Novita. Each provider's price, context limit, quantization and measured uptime are in the providers table above.
