--- title: "MiniMax M2.7 Free AI model: facts and benchmarks | Kendr" canonical: "https://kendr.org/models/minimax-minimax-m2-7-free" date_modified: "2026-09-06" profile_kind: "reference" --- # MiniMax M2.7 Free model profile MiniMax M2.7 is a MiniMax model profile with a 196,608-token context window. The dated catalog snapshot records text modalities and interfaces for reasoning controls, structured output, text generation, tool calling. MiniMax-M2.7 is a next-generation large language model designed for autonomous, real-world productivity and continuous improvement. Built to actively participate in its own evolution, M2.7 integrates advanced agentic capabilities through multi-agent collaboration, enabling it to plan, execute, and refine complex tasks across dynamic environments. Trained for production-grade performance, M2.7 handles workflows such as live debugging, root cause analysis, financial modeling, and full document generation across Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. It delivers strong results on benchmarks including 56.2% on SWE-Pro and 57.0% on Terminal Bench 2, while achieving a 1495 ELO on GDPval-AA, setting a new standard for multi-agent systems operating in real-world digital workflows. MiniMax M2.7 Free is a reference profile: MiniMax publishes it, Kendr documents it for comparison, and it carries no Kendr alias to call. MiniMax M2.7 Free 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 M2.7 Free accepts text and returns text. The snapshot records reasoning controls, structured output, text generation, and tool calling as capabilities or interfaces. No comparable unit price is present in the 2026-09-06 snapshot. A zero placeholder is not presented as a free-price claim. The 2026-09-06 snapshot includes 1 Artificial Analysis index, 8 Design Arena categories, and AutoExacto results for 11 provider observations. Publisher-reported launch results are labeled and are not presented as Kendr measurements; scores from different suites are not treated as interchangeable. MiniMax M2.7 Free ranked #29 in the cited trailing-7-day third-party catalog usage dataset as of 2026-09-06. 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 2026-09-06 snapshot. Claims retain their source dates, and unavailable fields are shown as unavailable instead of estimated. ## Profile facts - **Profile type:** Model research profile - **Provider or publisher:** MiniMax - **Context window:** 196,608 tokens - **Snapshot date:** 2026-09-06 - **Knowledge cutoff:** Not disclosed - **Reference catalog ID:** minimax/minimax-m2.7:free ## When to pick MiniMax M2.7 Free MiniMax M2.7 Free is a reference profile: MiniMax publishes it, Kendr documents it for comparison, and it carries no Kendr alias to call. Each condition below is derived from this model's own values in the 2026-09-06 snapshot, compared only against models publishing the same field. - Reach for it when cost is the binding constraint. At $0 in and $0 out per 1M tokens, combined token price sits in the cheapest quarter of the 146 models publishing both rates in this snapshot. - Reach for it when the model has to call tools. Tool calling is recorded in the snapshot, so this route can drive an agent loop rather than only answer in prose. - Look elsewhere when you need to call it through Kendr today. This is a research reference profile with no Kendr alias. The facts and evidence here are published for comparison; the model is not routable on Kendr. - Look elsewhere when the prompt is long. The 197K-token context window is in the bottom quarter of the 163 models publishing a limit. Long documents need chunking or a wider-context route. - Look elsewhere when the request is trivial and latency-sensitive. Reasoning is mandatory on this route and cannot be turned off, so short factual requests still pay reasoning tokens and reasoning latency. ## Context, modalities, and identity MiniMax M2.7 Free accepts text and returns text.
