MiniMax models, agents and creative platform

A source-backed map of MiniMax M3, API and Token Plan access, Mavis Agent, MiniMax Design, Hailuo, speech, music and image products.

Short answer

Where should you start?

Use M3 for frontier coding, long-context and multimodal agent work; the API for metered production calls; Token Plan for supported coding tools; Mavis for long-running agent teams; and Design, Hailuo, Speech, Music or Image only for their dedicated creative workflows.

Ownership boundary

MiniMax M3, API, Token Plan, Mavis, Design, Hailuo, Speech, Music and Image share the MiniMax ecosystem, but model access, subscriptions, creative credits and commercial media terms are separate. MiniMax Design was previously tracked as MiniMax Hub.

Tracked products
