Description

MiniMax Text 01 is a language model from MiniMax. Webparam does not stock this model yet and can source it on request — tell us what you need it for and we will come back with availability and a price. MiniMax’s stated focus is multimodal breadth: text, video, speech. Its mean it can also be self-hosted under its licence.

Capabilities

Tool calling
Calls functions you define and returns their arguments as structured data, the basis of agents.
Streaming
Emits tokens as they are generated, so answers appear progressively rather than all at once.
Long context
Built for inputs well beyond the mainstream window, whole repositories, archives or corpora.
Open weights
The parameters are published, so the model can be inspected, fine-tuned and self-hosted under its licence.
