MiniMax Model Overview: Language, Video, Audio and Music APIs

ArticleMiniMaxResource

MiniMax's official API documentation outlines current and legacy AI models spanning language, video, speech synthesis, and music. Key flagship releases include the MiniMax-M3 coding model with a 1M context window and the MiniMax H3 video models.

Key points

  1. Language models: MiniMax-M3 provides multimodal coding capabilities with a 1M token context window; M2.7 and a low-latency M2.7-highspeed variant are also available.
  2. Video generation: MiniMax H3 supports text-to-video and image-to-video up to 2K at 24 fps; MiniMax H3 Max was post-trained by fal.ai for high-speed generation.
  3. Speech models: speech-2.8-hd and speech-2.8-turbo support 40 languages and 7 emotions.
  4. Music API transition: Starting 20 August 2026, paid music generation APIs are closed to new users and free APIs discontinued; users are directed to MiniMax Audio or the open-source MiniMax Music 3 on Hugging Face.

Why it matters

The documentation provides developers with a concise reference for capabilities, context lengths, and resolutions across MiniMax's API offerings, while highlighting recent deprecations and partner-trained models.

Analysis

MiniMax's lineup balances large-scale capabilities—such as M3's 1M context window—with latency-focused variants. The inclusion of fal.ai's post-trained H3 Max reflects ecosystem collaborations for faster inference, while the deprecation of music generation APIs marks a strategic shift toward hosted audio interfaces and open-source models on Hugging Face.
