MiniMax M2.5

by MiniMax

Released 51 days after MiniMax M2.1 · All MiniMax releases

MiniMax M2.5 is a 229-billion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model released February 2026, trained extensively with reinforcement learning across hundreds of thousands of real-world environments and more than 10 programming languages including Go, C, C++, TypeScript, Rust, Kotlin, Python, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Lua, Dart, and Ruby. It combines strong reasoning with agentic and instruction-following capability. M2.5 scores 80.2% on SWE-Bench Verified, 51.3% on Multi-SWE-Bench, and 76.3% on BrowseComp, and leads on multi-turn function calling with 76.9% on BFCL. It completes SWE-Bench evaluations about 37% faster than M2.1 while matching Claude Opus 4.6's throughput, and uses roughly 20% fewer interaction rounds than its predecessor for more efficient task decomposition. The model supports extended chain-of-thought reasoning for complex problems and is strong at professional office work, reaching a 59.0% average win rate against competing models on workplace tasks. Recommended sampling settings are temperature 1.0, top_p 0.95, and top_k 40.

Get started

Call MiniMax M2.5 through the qynio gateway with one API key. Let your coding agent set it up, or call it directly — qynio is drop-in compatible with the OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI SDKs.

Set it up with your agent

Copy this and paste it into a coding agent like Claude Code, Cursor or Codex and it'll wire up qynio for you.

Or call it directly

import OpenAI from "openai";
const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.QYN_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://api.qyn.io/v3/compat",
});
const completion = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "digitalocean/minimax-m2.5",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }],
});
console.log(completion.choices[0].message.content);
