Summary

MiniMax: MiniMax M2.7 does not yet carry a Known Good Index score — the index needs at least one science, one mathematics and one coding result. It accepts text input, outputs text, and supports a 205k-token context window.

Pricing is $0.25 per 1M input tokens (below the $2.10 average) and $1.00 per 1M output (below the $9.62 average). Cached input reads at $0.050 per 1M, a 80% discount on its input price. At 104 tokens per second it sits in the fastest quarter of the models we track.

Price & Cost

Published API pricing by token type

BlendedInput vs outputQuality per dollar
Blended Price

USD per 1M tokens at a 3:1 input:output blend. Live from OpenRouter, cross-checked against models.dev. Lower is better.

The Known Good
We publish blended price rather than cost-per-task. Cost-per-task requires token counts from an evaluation suite we do not run. Blended price is computed from published rates and is fully reproducible — see the pricing methodology.
