# `minimax`

`minimaxPreset()` in `tui/internal/preset/preset.go` ships provider
`minimax`, exact model `MiniMax-M3`, and `MINIMAX_API_KEY` at the
Anthropic-compatible regional endpoint `https://api.minimaxi.com/anthropic`
(CN default) or `https://api.minimax.io/anthropic` (INTL). Its manifest
explicitly wires `vision`.

The TUI preset editor's `base_url` row offers three options
(`ProviderRegionURLs["minimax"]`):

- **CN** — `https://api.minimaxi.com/anthropic` (the template default).
- **INTL** — `https://api.minimax.io/anthropic`.
- **OpenCode Go** — `https://opencode.ai/zen/go/v1`. This is the only row
  that implies a credential: selecting it sets `api_key_env` to
  `OPENCODE_GO_API_KEY` (the shared OpenCode Go account) and saving keeps
  that slot instead of minting a region-suffixed one.

CN and INTL imply no `api_key_env`, so cycling between them preserves
whatever slot the host stamped (`MINIMAX_CN_1_API_KEY`,
`MINIMAX_INTL_1_API_KEY`). Cycling *off* OpenCode Go restores the slot that
was in place before it was selected, so the choice is reversible.

## Template-specific settings

The model picker ships the latest two M-series generations only —
`MiniMax-M3` and `MiniMax-M2.7` with its `-highspeed` variant. Per the TUI's
model-curation rule (`tui/CONTRACT.md`) the older `MiniMax-M2.5` /
`MiniMax-M2.1` / `MiniMax-M2` ids are no longer selectable; a saved preset
already pinned to one keeps working, the TUI just will not offer it again.

MiniMax-M3 natively accepts image/video content blocks on that same
endpoint; this native path does not depend on an MCP or a separate plan.
Both shipped generations are recorded as image-capable in `modelHasVision`.

MiniMax also publishes the separate optional
[MiniMax-Coding-Plan-MCP](https://github.com/MiniMax-AI/MiniMax-Coding-Plan-MCP),
package `minimax-coding-plan-mcp`, whose `understand_image` tool is available
through manual install/client registration. The setup guide requires a Token
Plan seat or purchased Credits, and the MCP is not auto-wired into this TUI
preset. Keep this tool path distinct from native M3 vision. The similarly named
community `tomlee2013/minimax-mcp-vision` project is not official.

Read the official [Anthropic-compatible API documentation](https://platform.minimax.io/docs/api-reference/text-chat-anthropic)
and [Token Plan MCP guide](https://platform.minimax.io/docs/guides/token-plan-mcp-guide)
for current details. Do not silently switch providers or auto-load/invoke an
MCP when the native route fails. Verify the manifest in TUI source after
template changes.
