# MiniMax Provider

Access MiniMax M3 and M2 series models with 1M context window through API key authentication. Ideal for long-context tasks requiring extended document analysis.

## Overview

The MiniMax provider enables Claude Code to use MiniMax's Anthropic-compatible API models. Requires an API key from the MiniMax platform.

**Provider Type:** API Preset (not OAuth)

**Command:** `ccs api create <name> --preset mm`

**Supported Models:**

* MiniMax-M3 (default, 1M context)
* MiniMax-M2.5 (1M context)
* MiniMax-M2.5-lightning (fast variant, 1M context)
* MiniMax-M2.1 (1M context)
* MiniMax-M2.1-lightning (faster, 1M context)
* MiniMax-M2 (legacy)
