Arena has published current community results for Preview. No default-configuration result is published, so the raw Arena field stays configuration-specific. The strongest supported result can still inform ModelCap Score with reduced confidence.

All leaderboardsMiniMax M2.1: common questions
How much does MiniMax M2.1 cost per 1M tokens?
No live API price is listed for MiniMax M2.1 in the current snapshot as of 6 November 2026 because no serving endpoint is published. ModelCap shows a price only when a provider currently lists one.
What is the context window of MiniMax M2.1?
MiniMax M2.1 has a published context window of 205K tokens (204,800). The snapshot lists a 131,072 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 M2.1 open-weight?
Restricted license (modified-mit). Downloadable weights use a model-specific or use-restricted license. Review the linked license before use, redistribution, or commercial deployment. The repository is MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.1 on Hugging Face.
Which benchmarks has MiniMax M2.1 been evaluated on?
MiniMax M2.1 has published results on 2 public boards tracked by ModelCap as of 6 November 2026: Arena text 1385 (#188 of 419) and Arena coding 1437 (#174 of 414). Each board page ranks every tracked model on that benchmark. The ModelCap Index scores the results its methodology admits, with published uncertainty, and shows reference boards without scoring them.
When was MiniMax M2.1 released?
