Unified Billing
Track USD token usage and wallet debits together.
Easy Migration
Keep OpenAI SDK shape, change baseURL and model.
Developer Friendly
Copy-ready cURL, Python and TypeScript examples.
Model fit
Why use MiniMax?
A focused page for evaluating this model as an API route, not just reading a catalog row.
Cost control
Displayed USD pricing makes it easy to run budgeted evals before broad rollout.
Tool workflow fit
Works well in routes where function-style calls and structured outputs are important.
Why SmarToken
Why not direct vendor accounts?
Direct accounts can work once region, billing, model IDs and credentials are settled. SmarToken is built for faster overseas evaluation and safer early production.
Unified key
One console key reaches mainstream Chinese model routes including DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, Hunyuan, MiniMax and Spark.
English docs
Model IDs, SDK samples and error semantics are written for overseas teams.
Budget control
Daily, monthly and model-family limits keep experiments predictable.
Route visibility
Usage logs connect model, API key, token estimate, latency and wallet debit.

How do I use MiniMax M2.7 with the OpenAI SDK?
Set baseURL to https://thesmartoken.com/v1, use your SmarToken key and pass model: minimax-m2 in Chat Completions.
Is MiniMax M2.7 good for coding agents?
It is a strong candidate to test for agentic coding, repo assistance and tool-use workflows alongside DeepSeek and Kimi.
Use cases
Popular use cases
Start with a clear workload, then compare routes in Playground before moving traffic into production.
Coding agent
Plan, generate and revise code in development workflows.
Tool-use workflow
Evaluate structured outputs and function-style orchestration.
Code review
Summarize diffs, risks and suggested fixes.

Migration
From your current AI gateway
The integration path stays familiar: same Chat Completions shape, one new baseURL and a China-first model ID.
Switch path
From OpenAI
Keep the SDK. Change baseURL to SmarToken and switch the model ID.
Switch path
From OpenRouter
Move from broad routing into a focused Chinese-model console with budgets.
Switch path
From Together.ai
Keep Chat Completions while adding China-first model pages and route control.
FAQ
Questions developers ask
How do I call MiniMax M2.7 with the OpenAI SDK?
Use the standard OpenAI SDK, set baseURL to https://thesmartoken.com/v1, authenticate with your SmarToken key, and pass model: minimax-m2.
What is MiniMax M2.7 best for?
MiniMax M2.7 is a good candidate for coding agents, tool-use workflows and developer automation. Test it in the Playground before routing production traffic.
How does MiniMax M2.7 compare with DeepSeek and Kimi?
Use the comparison table as a starting point, then run your own prompts because coding, reasoning, latency and cost can vary by upstream route.
Is this API compatible with the OpenAI SDK?
Yes. Use your SmarToken key, set baseURL to https://thesmartoken.com/v1, and pass the model ID shown on this page.
How is billing calculated?
Input and output tokens are priced separately in USD per 1M tokens. Final usage is recorded after the provider returns a response or a stream finishes.
Where do I get an API key?
Create an account, open the console, generate an API key, then copy the cURL, Python or TypeScript example from the Playground.
Can I restrict one key to this model family?
Yes. Console API keys can be limited by allowed model family plus daily and monthly USD budgets.
