MiniMax M2 - model for agents and code

MiniMax M2 is a large language model built for agents and code. Its documented identity centers on multilingual work, reasoning, coding, and long-chain tool use.

Distinctive traitWhat is explicitly documented
Born for Agents and CodeThe model is described as built for agent workflows and code tasks.
Stable tool callingIt is presented as handling complex, long-chain tool-calling tasks with stable execution.
End-to-end development workflowsThe model is positioned for development flows and programming use cases.
Strong multilingual capabilityThe model card states strong multilingual capabilities.

Agent workflow

The model is framed around agent use rather than generic chat. The official announcement says it coordinates calls to Shell, Browser, Python code interpreter, and MCP tools.

Language and task scope

The model card describes it as a large language model with strong multilingual capabilities, with reasoning and coding as core task areas. That makes its identity broader than coding alone, but still centered on agentic software work and multilingual use.
