MiniMax Subscription Guide

MiniMax is one of the providers currently recommended by the docs preset set for Claude Code. A single default model across tiers, suitable for teams that value simple configuration and predictable onboarding.

  • You want the same mapped model across all Claude tiers
  • You prefer low-friction setup and maintenance
  • You want to get Claude Code running quickly before tuning model strategy
  • The current preset metadata marks MiniMax as recommended.
  • It uses MiniMax-M2.5 as the default mapped model for all tiers.
  • This is a good fit when operational simplicity matters more than tier-specific tuning.
