MiniMax M2.5 model profile
Evidence snapshot:
MiniMax M2.5 is a MiniMax model profile with a 204,800-token context window. The dated catalog snapshot records text modalities and interfaces for prompt caching, reasoning controls, structured output, text generation, tool calling.
MiniMax M2.5 is an independent knowledge profile. It does not claim that Kendr hosts the model, quote a Kendr customer price, promise API availability, or advertise a Kendr routing receipt.
MiniMax M2.5 accepts text and returns text. The snapshot records prompt caching, reasoning controls, structured output, text generation, and tool calling as capabilities or interfaces.
The dated reference snapshot lists $0.22 input and $0.9 output per million tokens. Cached input is $0.05 per million tokens.
The 2026-08-12 snapshot includes 7 Design Arena categories. Publisher-reported launch results are labeled and are not presented as Kendr measurements; scores from different suites are not treated as interchangeable.
MiniMax M2.5 ranked #92 in the cited trailing-7-day third-party catalog usage dataset as of 2026-08-12. Observed within the cited trailing-7-day third-party catalog usage dataset; this is not global AI market share.
Profile data was reviewed for the 2026-08-12 snapshot. Claims retain their source dates, and unavailable fields are shown as unavailable instead of estimated.
