+# MiniMax
+
+MiniMax is an AI company that builds the **M2/M2.1** model family. The current
+coding-focused release is **MiniMax M2.1** (December 23, 2025), built for
+real-world complex tasks.
+
+Source: [MiniMax M2.1 release note](https://www.minimax.io/news/minimax-m21)
+
+## Model overview (M2.1)
+
+MiniMax highlights these improvements in M2.1:
+
+- Stronger **multi-language coding** (Rust, Java, Go, C++, Kotlin, Objective-C, TS/JS).
+- Better **web/app development** and aesthetic output quality (including native mobile).
+- Improved **composite instruction** handling for office-style workflows, building on
+  interleaved thinking and integrated constraint execution.
+- **More concise responses** with lower token usage and faster iteration loops.
+- Stronger **tool/agent framework** compatibility and context management (Claude Code,
+  Droid/Factory AI, Cline, Kilo Code, Roo Code, BlackBox).
+- Higher-quality **dialogue and technical writing** outputs.
+
+## Choose a setup
+
+### Option A: MiniMax Cloud (OpenAI-compatible `/v1`)
+
+**Best for:** hosted MiniMax with OpenAI-compatible API.
+
+```bash
+clawdbot onboard --auth-choice minimax-cloud
+# or non-interactive
+clawdbot onboard --auth-choice minimax-cloud --minimax-api-key "$MINIMAX_API_KEY"
+```
+
+```json5
+{
+  env: { MINIMAX_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
+  agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "minimax/MiniMax-M2.1" } } },
+  models: {
+    mode: "merge",
+    providers: {
+      minimax: {
+        baseUrl: "https://api.minimax.io/v1",
+        apiKey: "${MINIMAX_API_KEY}",
+        api: "openai-completions",
+        models: [
+          {
+            id: "MiniMax-M2.1",
+            name: "MiniMax M2.1",
+            reasoning: false,
+            input: ["text"],
+            cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
+            contextWindow: 200000,
+            maxTokens: 8192
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Option B: MiniMax API (Anthropic-compatible `/anthropic`)
+
+**Best for:** MiniMax's Anthropic-compatible API (platform.minimax.io).
+
+```bash
+clawdbot onboard --auth-choice minimax-api
+# or non-interactive
+clawdbot onboard --auth-choice minimax-api --minimax-api-key "$MINIMAX_API_KEY"
+```
+
+```json5
+{
+  env: { MINIMAX_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
+  agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "minimax/MiniMax-M2.1" } } },
+  models: {
+    mode: "merge",
+    providers: {
+      minimax: {
+        baseUrl: "https://api.minimax.io/anthropic",
+        apiKey: "${MINIMAX_API_KEY}",
+        api: "anthropic-messages",
+        models: [
+          {
+            id: "MiniMax-M2.1",
+            name: "MiniMax M2.1",
+            reasoning: false,
+            input: ["text"],
+            cost: { input: 15, output: 60, cacheRead: 2, cacheWrite: 10 },
+            contextWindow: 200000,
+            maxTokens: 8192
+          },
+          {
+            id: "MiniMax-M2.1-lightning",
+            name: "MiniMax M2.1 Lightning",
+            reasoning: false,
+            input: ["text"],
+            cost: { input: 15, output: 60, cacheRead: 2, cacheWrite: 10 },
+            contextWindow: 200000,
+            maxTokens: 8192
+          },
+          {
+            id: "MiniMax-M2",
+            name: "MiniMax M2",
+            reasoning: true,
+            input: ["text"],
+            cost: { input: 15, output: 60, cacheRead: 2, cacheWrite: 10 },
+            contextWindow: 200000,
+            maxTokens: 8192
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Option C: Local via LM Studio
+
+**Best for:** local inference with LM Studio.
+We have seen strong results with MiniMax M2.1 on powerful hardware (e.g. a
+beefy Mac Studio) using LM Studio's local server.
+
+```bash
+clawdbot onboard --auth-choice minimax
+```
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      model: { primary: "lmstudio/minimax-m2.1-gs32" },
+      models: { "lmstudio/minimax-m2.1-gs32": { alias: "Minimax" } }
+    }
+  },
+  models: {
+    mode: "merge",
+    providers: {
+      lmstudio: {
+        baseUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:1234/v1",
+        apiKey: "lmstudio",
+        api: "openai-responses",
+        models: [
+          {
+            id: "minimax-m2.1-gs32",
+            name: "MiniMax M2.1 GS32",
+            reasoning: false,
+            input: ["text"],
+            cost: { input: 0, output: 0, cacheRead: 0, cacheWrite: 0 },
+            contextWindow: 196608,
+            maxTokens: 8192
+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Configure via `clawdbot configure`
+
+Use the interactive config wizard to set MiniMax without editing JSON:
+
+1) Run `clawdbot configure`.
+2) Select **Model/auth**.
+3) Choose **MiniMax M2.1 (minimax.io)**, **MiniMax API (platform.minimax.io)**,
+   or **MiniMax M2.1 (LM Studio)**.
+4) Pick your default model when prompted.
+
+## Configuration options
+
+- `models.providers.minimax.baseUrl`: `https://api.minimax.io/v1` or `https://api.minimax.io/anthropic`.
+- `models.providers.minimax.api`: `openai-completions` (cloud) or `anthropic-messages` (API).
+- `models.providers.minimax.apiKey`: MiniMax API key (`MINIMAX_API_KEY`).
+- `models.providers.minimax.models`: define `id`, `name`, `reasoning`, `contextWindow`, `maxTokens`, `cost`.
+- `agents.defaults.models`: alias models you want in the allowlist.
+- `models.mode`: keep `merge` if you want to add MiniMax alongside built-ins.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Model refs are `minimax/<model>` or `lmstudio/<model>`.
+- MiniMax pricing is not published; the costs above are placeholders.
+  Override in `models.json` for accurate tracking.
+- See [/concepts/model-providers](/concepts/model-providers) for provider rules.
+- Use `clawdbot models list` and `clawdbot models set minimax/MiniMax-M2.1` to switch.
