Really looked forward to this release as MiniMax M2.1 is currently my most used model thanks to it being fast, cheap and excellent at tool calling. Whilst I still use Antigravity + Claude for development, I reach for MiniMax first in my AI workflows, GLM for code tasks and Kimi K2.5 when deep English analysis is needed.
Not self-hosting yet, but I prefer using Chinese OSS models for AI workflows because of the potential to self-host in future if needed. Also using it to power my openclaw assistant since IMO it has the best balance of speed, quality and cost:
> It costs just $1 to run the model continuously for an hour at 100 tokens/sec. At 50 tokens/sec, the cost drops to $0.30.
- user2722 8mo ago!!!!!! Incredibly cheap!!!!! I'll have to look for it in OpenRouter.
- amunozo 8mo agoFor the moment is free in Opencode, if you want ot try it.

Can i ask if you use the API or a monthly plan? Do the monthly plan throttle/reset ? edit: i agree that MM2.1 most economic, and K2.5 generally the strongest
- mythz 8mo agoUsing a coding plan, haven't noticed any throttling and very happy with the performance. They publish the quotas for each of their plans on their website [1]: - $10/mo: 100 prompts / 5 hours - $20/mo: 300 prompts / 5 hours - $50/mo: 1000 prompts / 5 hours [1] https://platform.minimax.io/docs/guides/pricing-coding-plan https://platform.minimax.io/docs/guides/pricing-coding-plan
- miroljub 8mo agoThey count one prompt as 15 requests. That gives you exactly 1500 API requests for 5 hours. Tokens are not counted.
