Frequently asked questions

How much does MiniMax M3 cost?

MiniMax M3 starts at $0.36 per 1M input tokens through the API Stock API. You pay per use from a single prepaid balance — there is no subscription — and the final price scales with parameters such as resolution or duration.

When was MiniMax M3 released?

MiniMax M3 was released on June 1, 2026. It is available through the API Stock API with the same key and prepaid balance as every other model.

How do I get an API key for MiniMax M3?

Sign up for API Stock, top up your balance by any amount and create an API key in the dashboard — it takes a couple of minutes and needs no contract. The same key works with every model in the catalog, so there is no separate key to obtain for MiniMax M3.

How do I call the MiniMax M3 API?

Send a POST request to https://api.api-stock.com/api/v1/chat/completions with your API key and the model "minimax-m3", using the openai-compatible request format shown in the quick start above.

What happens if a MiniMax M3 request fails?

API Stock automatically retries the request on a reserve provider. If every provider fails, the charge is refunded to your balance.

Can I use MiniMax M3 with the same API key as other models?

Yes. Every model on API Stock — video, image, music and chat — shares one API key and one prepaid balance, so you can switch to MiniMax M3 without new credentials.
