MiniMax-01 on Requesty (Cline, Openwebui and more)
Jan 16, 2025
MiniMax-01 Is Now Live on Requesty Router!
Easily Integrate MiniMax-Text-01 with Cline, OpenWebUI, and More
Overview
MiniMax has open-sourced the MiniMax-01 family of models—MiniMax-Text-01 and MiniMax-VL-01. These models offer advanced performance thanks to a novel Lightning Attention mechanism, scaling to handle up to 4 million tokens. Now, you can integrate these models directly with Requesty Router, which uses OpenAI-compatible endpoints and a single API credential. This seamless setup makes it easy to try MiniMax alongside other large language models through platforms like Cline and OpenWebUI.
Key MiniMax-01 Features
Lightning Attention
MiniMax-01 incorporates a linear attention approach in most layers, with occasional SoftMax layers for added expressiveness. This combination allows for high-speed handling of very long contexts.Scalability
Featuring 456 billion parameters (45.9 billion active per inference), MiniMax-01 is designed for commercial-scale deployments, matching top-tier global models on core benchmarks.Ultra-Long Context (Up to 4 Million Tokens)
Long contexts are crucial for advanced AI agent workflows, whether you’re maintaining a single agent’s memory or enabling multi-agent collaboration.Open Source + Competitive Pricing
Model weights are available via GitHub, and API rates are set at $0.2 per million input tokens and $1.1 per million output tokens via the MiniMax Platform.
Integrating MiniMax-01 with Requesty Router
Requesty Router consolidates over 50 language models under one API key. If you already use Requesty, simply add the MiniMax endpoint to your existing setup:
Obtain Access
Sign up for the MiniMax Open Platform or visit their GitHub for open-source access.
Add to Requesty Router
In your Requesty Router admin panel, create a new OpenAI-compatible connection.
Paste your Requesty API key, set the endpoint for MiniMax, and save your configuration.
Use in Cline or OpenWebUI
Cline: Point your coding workflow or AI assistant tasks to the newly added MiniMax endpoint.
OpenWebUI: Switch between MiniMax-01 and other models in real time to compare responses on the same query.
Why Combine MiniMax-01 with Requesty Router?
One Key, Multiple Models
Eliminate the need to juggle several credentials. Use a single Requesty key to access MiniMax-01, GPT, Claude, and many others.Flexible Workflows
Cline and OpenWebUI users can try out advanced coding or chat tasks with MiniMax, then switch to another model if needed.Unified Billing
Track usage and manage your budget in one place. Gain better visibility into costs across different models.Seamless Deployment
Requesty follows the OpenAI-style API standard, making it simple to integrate MiniMax-01 into your existing projects and pipelines.
