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.

How much does MiniMax M2.1 cost per 1M tokens?
MiniMax M2.1 is listed at $0.30 per 1M input tokens and $1.20 per 1M output tokens as of 22 September 2026 across 2 providers. 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 $1.20 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 M2.1?
MiniMax M2.1 has a published context window of 205K tokens (204,800) and a maximum output of 131K tokens. Individual providers can serve less than the published maximum; the providers table lists each endpoint's own 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.
