AI Coding Assistant
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
MiniMax is a general-purpose AI platform from Shanghai Xiyu Technology, built around self-developed multimodal models including MiniMax M3.1 Flash for text, MiniMax H3 for video generation, MiniMax Speech 2.8 for voice, and MiniMax Music 3.0. The platform combines these models with AI-native products such as MiniMax Code, an agent-based coding tool with Coding and Work modes, and MiniMax Design for commercial content production. Developers and enterprises can access the models through the open platform's API, documentation, and M Plan subscription, which also supports integration with third-party AI coding tools via API keys. A free tier provides limited access to text and image/audio models, while paid M Plan tiers add higher usage, video models, and priority features.
