As of October 20, 2026, MiniMax M2.5 ranks #85 of 213 models overall with 22.8 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index. Its strongest category is coding, where it ranks #57 of 136. MiniMax M2.5 costs $0.27 per million input tokens and $0.95 per million output tokens. It was released on February 12, 2026.
Its output price ranks 127 of 349 priced models, counting from the cheapest.
MiniMax-M2.5 is a SOTA large language model designed for real-world productivity. Trained in a diverse range of complex real-world digital working environments, M2.5 builds upon the coding expertise of M2.1...
minimax/minimax-m2.5 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 4 of 6 categories. A place counts only the models measured on that board.
The index averages only the coding benchmarks that have a result; the others are skipped, never filled in. 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.
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.
