High-speed MiniMax model for low-latency coding and agent workflows
MiniMax M2.1 Lightning is offered by 4 providers on this page. Its reference price is $0.30 per 1M input tokens and $2.40 per 1M output tokens. The lowest paid channel is DevPass (LLM Gateway) at $0.12 / $0.48 per 1M, about 2.5× below the reference price. That channel is a third-party gateway, so confirm its availability and rate limits before depending on it.
The context window is 204,800 tokens at the reference host, but hosts report different limits, from 196,608 to 204,800, so the usable window depends on the provider you pick. It supports reasoning and tool use. Providers report the capability flags inconsistently, so verify a specific feature against the host you plan to use. Its training knowledge cuts off at 2024-10.
