MiniMax: MiniMax-01: AI model

MiniMax-01 is a 456B-parameter model with a multi-million-token context from MiniMax. Reachable from inside Iran through Hormouz.

Context window:: 1,000,192 tokens
Input:: $0.2/1M tokens
Output:: $1.1/1M tokens
Type:: text, image

Vision
Streaming
Long context

MiniMax-01 brings together a text model and a vision model: one handles language, the other image understanding. In total it carries 456 billion parameters, with 45.9 billion active per inference, and it can work over contexts reaching roughly four million tokens. The language side blends Lightning Attention, Softmax Attention and a Mixture-of-Experts design, and the vision side is trained on top of it. So the combined model takes both text and image input.

MiniMax-01 is a good fit for ultra-long-context tasks, multimodal understanding and large-document QA. It supports image input. The model works with a context window on the order of a million tokens, so it comfortably handles long inputs. It is served through Hormouz behind an OpenAI-compatible API. Just point your base URL at Hormouz and drop in a Hormouz key, and existing OpenAI SDK code runs unchanged.

Pricing is usage-based: $0.2 per million input tokens and $1.1 per million output tokens, billed only for what you use. Hormouz provides stable access to the model from inside Iran, with no foreign credit card or circumvention tooling required.

MiniMax-01 is a combines MiniMax-Text-01 for text generation and MiniMax-VL-01 for image understanding. It has 456 billion parameters, with 45.9 billion parameters activated per inference, and can handle a context...
