Coming soonQuick Start

MiniMax-01 is MiniMax's open-weight multimodal model, released 2025-01, combining a 456B-parameter text model with a vision encoder for image understanding. It uses a hybrid Lightning Attention, Softmax Attention, and Mixture-of-Experts architecture, activating 45.9B parameters per inference. This design targets very long-context tasks and efficient serving.

Three fixed prompts, identical for every chat model. Outputs are archived verbatim — copy the prompt to reproduce.

Task prompt · identical for all models
Build a single-file HTML page using three.js from a CDN: a low-poly planet with a tilted ring of ~200 orbiting particles, a soft key light plus rim light, slow auto-rotation, and drag-to-orbit controls. No build tools — one file only.

Every model will run this exact prompt; the output lands here verbatim, with tokens and per-run cost.
