Service ID: minimax/minimax-m2 · Context window: 204K tokens · Listing status: active

All rates, conditions and sources

Region: Unknown · Endpoint scope: unknown · Tier: routed catalog · Billing: Unknown · Prompt bracket: none stated · Cache TTL: Unknown seconds · Valid through: Unknown

  • OpenRouter lowest listed endpoint price: Minimax (fp8, endpoint minimax/fp8). It is lowest on both input and output among the default-tier endpoints OpenRouter's official endpoints API lists for this model (opt-in flex, priority and ultrafast tier endpoints are left out), and a request with provider.sort = "price" tries endpoints in price order. OpenRouter's default routing load-balances across the lowest-cost stable providers weighted by inverse square of price, so a default request may be served, and billed, by a higher-priced endpoint.
  • Native USD per token as OpenRouter lists it, billed at the serving endpoint's rates. OpenRouter lists this endpoint with a 15% provider discount, which its provider guide says is already applied to the displayed price users see and pay; no end date is stated. No other charge is listed; free, flex, batch and priority variants are outside this reviewed scope.
  • Endpoint availability, status and regional or account eligibility are unverified (OpenRouter does not document its endpoint status codes). Listing is not an inference service test.
  • Listed uncached input or output token rate of that endpoint; unlisted cache prices are unknown, not zero.
  • Official model listing: https://openrouter.ai/minimax/minimax-m2

About capability scores (Epoch AI)

Capability scores: Epoch AI, 'Capabilities & benchmarking'. Published online at epoch.ai. Retrieved from 'https://epoch.ai/benchmarks' [online resource], epoch.ai/benchmarks. Accessed 2026-10-31. Licensed CC BY 4.0; values here are rounded to one decimal place and grouped into bands.

The Epoch Capabilities Index (ECI) combines many benchmarks on a scale where Claude 3.5 Sonnet is 130 and GPT-5 is 150. Bands, on the displayed one-decimal score: Frontier 160+, Strong 150–159.9, Capable 140–149.9, Entry below 140. Each score has a 90% range; a range that crosses a band boundary is flagged. Models are not ranked: neighbouring scores often overlap.

A benchmark is not your workload. Epoch's scores mostly reflect runs at the highest reasoning effort, which use more output tokens than default settings. Scores are dated and can shift between Epoch releases. A score belongs to the developer's model; a host listing shows the same model's score, but hosts may serve different versions or quantizations.

How headline rates are chosen

Headline rates use the directory's shared rule: the rate a buyer meets by default, chosen by billing, tier and context dimensions and never by price. Context caps, the bracket starting at zero and short-context variants are labeled; unverified availability is flagged and is not a service guarantee. Batch, off-peak and other variants remain in the details; ambiguous headlines stay unknown.

No currency conversion is performed. Missing cache prices are unknown, not zero. Equal units do not establish equivalent models or service conditions. See the methodology and source register.
