| Description | |||
| Summary | MiniMax-M2 is a compact, high-efficiency model with 10B active (230B total) parameters, optimized for coding and agentic workflows. It delivers near-frontier reasoning and tool use, excels at multi-file coding tasks and compile-run-fix loops, and performs strongly on benchmarks like SWE-Bench and Terminal-Bench. It also handles long-horizon planning and recovery in agent evaluations, ranking among the top open models across reasoning domains. With fast inference and low cost, it’s ideal for large-scale agents and developer assistants — and works best when reasoning is preserved across turns. | Claude Sonnet 5.5 is Anthropic's Sonnet-class model for well-scoped everyday work, serving as a direct upgrade to Sonnet 5. It excels at feature development, bug fixing, and creating polished documents, presentations, and spreadsheets, while offering clearer writing and communication than its predecessor. | Google Gemini 3.5 Transcribe speech-to-text.
