MiniMax

Opens directly

Language, image, and voice are listed separately on the same official site. H3 Image opened on 10 November.

Note

minimax.cn is the model company’s official site, not a single chat box. The page lists language models, video and image, voice, and MiniMax Code. If everyday chat only needs one input box, DeepSeek or Qwen is more direct. Come here for their image model from this week, or to use the API. The consumer entrance for a finished video is Hailuo. Do not treat that and this official site as one product.

Price

The page has entrances for the API and for subscribing now. Amounts change, and this list does not copy them.

Chinese

The official site is in Chinese and offers a switch to English.

In mainland China

Change this week

On 2026-11-10, news on the MiniMax official site listed “MiniMax H3 Image, open-sourced.” This is a model update, not a new website. For the video product, still look at Hailuo.
