MiniMax

MiniMax serves its text models through an OpenAI-compatible API, so you drive them through Agno like any other OpenAI-compatible provider. The MiniMax class defaults to MiniMax-M3 and points at the international endpoint https://api.minimax.io/v1.

Installation

uv pip install -U openai agno

Authentication

Create an API key from the MiniMax platform dashboard. Set your MINIMAX_API_KEY environment variable.

export MINIMAX_API_KEY=***

setx MINIMAX_API_KEY ***

Example

Use MiniMax with your Agent:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.minimax import MiniMax

agent = Agent(model=MiniMax(id="MiniMax-M3"), markdown=True)

# Print the response in the terminal
agent.print_response("Share a 2 sentence horror story.")

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`id`	`str`	`"MiniMax-M3"`	The ID of the MiniMax model to use
`name`	`str`	`"MiniMax"`	The name of the model
`provider`	`str`	`"MiniMax"`	The provider of the model
`api_key`	`Optional[str]`	`None`	The API key for MiniMax (defaults to `MINIMAX_API_KEY` env var)
`base_url`	`str`	`"https://api.minimax.io/v1"`	The base URL for the MiniMax API

MiniMax extends the OpenAI-compatible interface and supports most parameters from the OpenAI model. Note: MiniMax does not implement OpenAI-style native response_format / strict json_schema, so supports_native_structured_outputs is set to False. Use use_json_mode=True for structured output. To hit a different host (private deployment, regional endpoint), pass base_url:

MiniMax(id="MiniMax-M3", base_url="https://your-host.example.com/v1")
