Prior MiniMax coding model for agent workflows, office edits, and automation
MiniMax-M2.5 is offered by 42 providers on this page. Public prices are shown for 33 of them. Its official list price is $0.30 per 1M input tokens and $1.20 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is DInference at $0.22 / $0.88 per 1M, about 2.0× below the list price. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it. It also has 8 covered by a paid subscription; free tiers usually carry rate limits, and subscription-covered access bills $0 per token only after the subscription fee.
Artificial Analysis rates it 34.5 on the Intelligence Index. Against its lowest blended price of $0.385 per 1M, that is roughly 90 index points per dollar, which is the value ratio the leaderboards rank on. Median output speed is 90 tokens per second, with 1.68s to the first token.
The context window is 204,800 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 192,000 to 228,700, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports reasoning, tool use, and structured output. The weights are open, so it can also be self-hosted or served through a gateway of your choice. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use. Its training knowledge cuts off at 2025-01.
Quality is independently evaluated by Artificial Analysis. Speed/latency are model-level medians.

Sorted by blended price (input×0.75 + output×0.25) asc. The official channel always shows regardless of rank. Whether a gateway's low price is actually usable can't be verified.
8 more channels offer $0 (Alibaba Token Plan, Alibaba Coding Plan (China), MiniMax Token Plan (minimaxi.com) etc.); free tiers usually have rate limits and no SLA, excluded from ranking.
