    base_url="https://ai-gateway.edgeone.link/v1",
)

Common questions

Where can I use MiniMax for free via API?

4 providers in our 13 Nov 2026, 13:36 UTC snapshot name a MiniMax model: TokenFaucet, Tencent EdgeOne Makers Models, JoinGonka Gateway, GonkaRouter. We only list a provider here when that name already appears in our data. Catalogues change, so confirm on the official page before you rely on an entry.

Which of these MiniMax providers are OpenAI compatible?

4 of the 4 active entries are marked OpenAI compatible in our data: TokenFaucet, Tencent EdgeOne Makers Models, JoinGonka Gateway, GonkaRouter. The others are marked no, partial, or Not published — see the table on this page.

Do I need a credit card?

3 active entries in this list say no card is required: Tencent EdgeOne Makers Models, JoinGonka Gateway, GonkaRouter. Others may ask for a card, a top-up, or do not publish this. Confirm on the sign-up page.

Why do some fields say Not published?

The provider has not published that figure on their public pages, or we could not find it. We never invent quotas, prices or endpoints.

Is this every site that hosts MiniMax?

No. This page only includes providers that already name MiniMax in our data file. A gateway may offer the model without that name appearing in our notes, allowance or limits, and we do not guess those catalogues.
