MiniMax M2.5 API: affordable bilingual model for high volume
MiniMax M2.5 is the lab's budget bilingual model, keeping strong Chinese-English performance while cutting price for cost-sensitive, high-volume work.
On YepAPI you access MiniMax M2.5 through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint at $0.17 per 1M input and $1.39 per 1M output tokens, with a 196,608-token context window.
What is MiniMax M2.5?
MiniMax M2.5 is the value tier in MiniMax's lineup, designed to deliver the lab's signature bilingual Chinese-English ability at a markedly lower price than its flagship models. It carries a 196,608-token context window and up to 65,536 output tokens, enough for long inputs and substantial generations, while keeping per-call cost low. The model is aimed at workloads that need solid bilingual quality across many requests rather than maximum capability on a few: translation pipelines, bulk content adaptation, and high-volume bilingual assistants where economics decide whether a feature is viable at scale.
Build with MiniMax M2.5 via YepAPI
Call MiniMax M2.5 through YepAPI's OpenAI-compatible /v1/ai/chat endpoint. Point your OpenAI SDK at YepAPI and set the model string to minimax-m2.5; switching models later is a one-string change. A single YepAPI key also covers every other model plus SEO, SERP, and web-scraping tools, so a bilingual pipeline can scrape source content, process the bulk cheaply with M2.5, and escalate hard cases to a flagship, all on one key.
MiniMax M2.5 API pricing — $0.17 / $1.39 per 1M tokens
MiniMax M2.5 costs $0.17 per 1M input tokens and $1.39 per 1M output tokens on YepAPI. That undercuts the flagship MiniMax tier while preserving bilingual strength, which is the whole point: it makes large-scale Chinese-English processing affordable. For translation and content-adaptation jobs measured in millions of tokens, the lower rates turn workloads that would be costly on a flagship into routine batch operations.
MiniMax M2.5 for high-volume translation and localization
M2.5 fits cost-driven bilingual work: translating large catalogs of product descriptions, localizing and culturally adapting content for the Chinese market, and powering high-traffic bilingual chat where every call counts. Its 65K output supports full-length translations in one response, and its throughput handles big batches. When you need good Chinese-English quality across enormous volume rather than peak reasoning, M2.5 is the economical choice.
