minimax/MiniMax-M2.7How Minimax Coding billing works with kRouter
Minimax Coding is pay-per-token. You bring your own API key and kRouter routes to it, so you keep your own rate limits and billing relationship. kRouter authenticates it via apikey. 5 models are routable as minimax/<model>.
Through kRouter, Minimax Coding serves chat and code completion, image generation, exposed on /v1/images/generations, image understanding (OCR / vision-to-text), web search, exposed on /v1/search so an agent can look things up mid-conversation, text-to-speech, exposed on /v1/audio/speech. Requests reach it through the same local OpenAI-compatible endpoint as every other provider, so switching to or from Minimax Coding is a one-line model change in your client rather than a rewrite.
