As of October 20, 2026, MiniMax M1 ranks #143 of 213 models overall with 11.7 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. MiniMax M1 costs $0.55 per million input tokens and $2.20 per million output tokens. It was released on June 17, 2025.
Its output price ranks 203 of 349 priced models, counting from the cheapest.
MiniMax-M1 is a large-scale, open-weight reasoning model designed for extended context and high-efficiency inference. It leverages a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture paired with a custom "lightning attention" mechanism, allowing it...
minimax/minimax-m1 The tick on a coding bar is the median of every model measured on it. Outside coding, the place is this model's rank on that board. A board that never ran the model says so.
Measured in 0 of 6 categories. A place counts only the models measured on that board.
No coding benchmark has measured this model, so there is no index. We do not estimate one from its price, its maker or its siblings. How it is weighted

A list price says what a token costs. The cost per solved task says what a working answer costs, which is the number that decides.
Neither board that publishes what a SWE-bench Verified attempt costs, Vals AI and swebench.com, has run this model. We leave the number out rather than estimate it.
Beside a result, many boards publish what the run cost, how long it took, the tokens it spent or the votes behind a rating. Each figure as its board printed it, one board per row.
