MiniMax M2.1 now live on Vercel AI Gateway

You can now access MiniMax's latest model, M2.1, with Vercel's AI Gateway and no other provider accounts required.

MiniMax M2.1 is faster than its predecessor M2, with clear improvements specifically in coding use cases and complicated multi-step tasks with tool calls. M2.1 writes higher quality code, is better at following instructions for difficult tasks, and has a cleaner reasoning process. The model has breadth in addition to depth, with improved performance across multiple coding languages (Go, C++, JS, C#, TS, etc.) and refactoring, feature adds, bug fixes, and code review.

To start building with MiniMax M2.1 via AI SDK, set the model to minimax/minimax-m2.1:

1
import { streamText } from 'ai';
2
const result = streamText({
3
  model: 'minimax/minimax-m2.1',
4
  prompt:
5
    `Initialize a React + TypeScript project of a sunrise.
6
     Generate assets with an image tool, compute sun position
7
     with a time tool, animate it, run tests, and produce a build.`
8
});

AI Gateway provides a unified API for calling models, tracking usage and cost, and configuring retries, failover, and performance optimizations for higher-than-provider uptime. It includes built-in observability, Bring Your Own Key support, and intelligent provider routing with automatic retries.
