Model details

MiniMax-M2.5

MiniMax-M2.5 sits within the MiniMax family of large language models, a lineage that grew to include the M2.7 series and later the frontier MiniMax-M3. On MiniMax's own API documentation models index, M2.5 appears in a "Legacy Models" section, indicating it has been superseded by newer entries while still being catalogued as part of the company's LLM offering. The model's positioning, as suggested by its placement next to code-oriented legacy variants in MiniMax's documentation, points to developer-facing tasks such as code generation and refactoring rather than general-purpose chat.

In practical terms, MiniMax-M2.5 is best understood as a prior-generation MiniMax code model retained for users who still rely on it in existing pipelines, with current development effort clearly centered on successors like M2.7 and M3. Because it is treated as legacy in MiniMax's own materials, new projects are more likely to benefit from the actively supported family members, while M2.5 remains a familiar option for continuity in established workflows.

The Artificial Analysis provider page for MiniMax compares five MiniMax models—M3, M2.5, M2.7, M2.1, and M2—across intelligence, speed, price, latency, and context window metrics. Among open-weight MiniMax models, M2.5 scores a 23 Intelligence Index, ties with M2.7, and trails only M3 (29); it achieves 98 tokens/second The page contextualizes M2.5 within the broader MiniMax lineup, noting that for cost optimization M2.5 provides the most competitive pricing among the five tracked models, while M3 is highlighted as offering the best intelligence-plus-speed combination.
