Summary

MiniMax published MiniMax-M3.1-Flash-Preview on 2026-09-27. Before this change OpenCodex did not list it, and copying the MiniMax-M3 settings would have broken it: M3's low effort sends thinking: {"type":"disabled"}, which this model rejects with HTTP 400 (code 2013, "requires adaptive thinking").

After this change both minimax and minimax-cn list the preview with a 1M context window and an effort picker of low..max that defaults to max, the vendor's own default.

  • Reasoning wire. The preview has no effort map and no thinking toggle, so low..max go out as reasoning_effort unchanged, minimal becomes low, ultra becomes max, and none omits the field. No request can disable thinking.
  • Reasoning format. The preview ignores reasoning_split and always returns reasoning_content, so it stays off reasoningSplitModels/reasoningDetailsModels and prior thinking is replayed as reasoning_content.
  • Catalog. MiniMax's GET /v1/models does not list the preview yet, and the live roster would drop it. It is now a callable configured model in CALLABLE_CONFIGURED_COMPATIBILITY_MODELS, the same pattern Kimi and xAI use.
  • Existing installs. Saved configs carry a full copy of the old eight-id roster, and enrichment never rewrites a present list. A new startup repair, stale-model-roster-migration.ts, runs in the existing repair pass beside the context-window and vision repairs. It replaces a saved minimax/minimax-cn roster only while that roster is byte-for-byte the previous seed, so a hand-edited list is left alone. It fills the added id's context window and default effort only inside records the row already has.
  • Pricing. MiniMax has not published a per-token price: the pay-as-you-go and enterprise price tables list only M3 and M2.7, and the preview is Token Plan / MiniMax Code only. Metadata therefore carries context, modalities and reasoning without a cost, and usage reports the model as unpriced. The providers guide explains the Token Plan-only availability, the missing list price, and how to add the id by hand to an edited roster.

Evidence: sources plus a live probe against api.minimax.io/v1 with a Token Plan key are recorded in devlog/_plan/260930_minimax_m31_flash_preview/010_evidence_and_plan.md:

  • Efforts low..max and an omitted effort all return 200; none and thinking: disabled both return 400/2013.
  • Streaming and non-streaming responses carry reasoning_content and never reasoning_details.
  • Replaying reasoning_content in a tool round is accepted.

Verification

  • bun run typecheck: pass.
  • Focused tests pass, 154 in total:
    • tests/providers/model-roster-seed-repair.test.ts (new: exact-seed refresh on both presets, no container creation, user values kept, hand-edited rosters untouched, adapter guard, idempotent through projectStartupConfigRepairs, live-roster retention)
    • tests/providers/minimax-reasoning-split.test.ts (new preview wire block)
    • tests/providers/provider-registry-parity.test.ts
    • tests/providers/context-window-seed-repair.test.ts, tests/providers/vision-classification-seed-repair.test.ts, tests/providers/model-rename-migration.test.ts
  • Metadata, usage and layout suites pass, 145 in total: tests/codex-integration/model-metadata-sync.test.ts, tests/codex-integration/reasoning-metadata.test.ts, tests/usage/usage-cost.test.ts, tests/test-layout.test.ts, tests/test-layout-tooling.test.ts.
  • bun run structure:check and bun run privacy:scan: pass.
  • bun run test:changed was run from a /private/tmp clone of this head, because this Codex-managed worktree sits under ~/.codex and trips the test-home removal guard.
    • Whole run (1566 files): 31199 pass, 56 fail. Every failure is in the Claude picker/intercept TLS suites (5 s timeouts), launcher signal shutdown, service install state, native toggles, or client link runtime. None touches providers, catalog, or usage.
    • Those 10 failing files rerun alone give the same result at dev 6538001e2f and at this head: 358 pass, 3 fail. The 3 are shutdown-launcher SIGINT/SIGTERM/SIGHUP, which fail on this host either way.
    • Exact-head CI is the proof for the rest.

Checklist

  • Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
  • Docs or release notes were updated when needed.
  • Security-sensitive changes were reviewed for secrets, auth, and unsafe defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added MiniMax-M3.1-Flash-Preview to the MiniMax and MiniMax (CN) model catalogs, with a 1M-token context window and configurable reasoning effort. Thinking is always enabled.
    • Existing installations with an unchanged default MiniMax model list receive the preview automatically; customized lists remain unchanged. The model stays available even when omitted from MiniMax’s live model roster.
    • Updated provider guides with availability and quota details. The preview requires Token Plan or MiniMax Code access; no estimated cost is shown because per-token pricing is unpublished.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Corrected reasoning handling for the preview, including replaying prior reasoning and processing streamed reasoning.

…king contract

MiniMax published MiniMax-M3.1-Flash-Preview on 2026-09-27 (Token Plan and
MiniMax Code only, 1M context). Both MiniMax presets list it with efforts
low..max defaulting to max. Thinking cannot be disabled upstream (effort none
or thinking disabled answers 400 code 2013), so the preview gets no effort map
and no thinking toggle: none omits the field instead of sending a disabled
value. It ignores reasoning_split and returns reasoning_content, so it stays
off the split/details lists and replays as reasoning_content.

The live /v1/models roster omits the preview, so the catalog retains it as a
callable configured model, and a startup repair adds it to saved MiniMax
rosters that are still the previous registry seed. No per-token price is
published; metadata carries context and modalities without a cost.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change registers MiniMax-M3.1-Flash-Preview in the global and China presets, configures its reasoning behavior, and documents its availability and pricing status. It also retains the model in configured catalogs and repairs saved rosters that exactly match the previous seed during startup.

Changes

MiniMax M3.1 Flash Preview

Layer / File(s) Summary
Register preview model
src/providers/registry/model-seeds.ts, scripts/model-metadata.source.json, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/providers.md, devlog/_plan/260930_minimax_m31_flash_preview/*
Adds the preview to both MiniMax presets with a 1,000,000-token context window. The provider guide describes availability, reasoning settings, quota billing, and startup behavior. The devlog records evidence and planned scope.
Configure reasoning behavior
src/providers/registry/model-seeds.ts, src/providers/registry/entries-extended.ts, tests/providers/minimax-reasoning-split.test.ts, tests/providers/provider-registry-parity.test.ts
Sets the preview’s five-level reasoning-effort ladder and max default. Limits reasoning-split and reasoning-details handling to the designated existing models. Tests cover effort mapping, reasoning replay, and registry metadata.
Retain and repair saved rosters
src/codex/catalog/model-hints.ts, src/providers/stale-model-roster-migration.ts, src/providers/model-rename-startup.ts, tests/providers/model-roster-seed-repair.test.ts, scripts/test-layout/layout.json, tests/fixtures/test-layout-expected.json, structure/providers-and-adapters.md
Keeps the configured preview in the compatibility catalog. At startup, replaces a saved roster only when it exactly matches the previous seed and the provider, adapter, and current registry roster match. Fills preview metadata only in containers that already exist.

리뷰 · 우선순위 71 / 80

이 PR은 MiniMax가 2026-09-27에 낸 MiniMax-M3.1-Flash-Preview를 minimax와 minimax-cn 목록에 넣고, 그 모델만의 규칙을 맞춥니다. 이 모델은 thinking을 끌 수 없고(none이나 thinking disabled면 400), effort는 low~max(기본 max)이며, reasoning_split은 무시하고 reasoning_content만 줍니다. /v1/models에도 아직 없어서 카탈로그에 남기도록 표시해 두고, 예전에 저장해 둔 기본 8개 목록만 바이트 단위로 같을 때 시작 시 미리보기를 넣어 줍니다. 손수 고친 목록은 그대로 둡니다. 토큰 단가가 없어 비용 추정은 비우고, Token Plan / MiniMax Code만 된다는 안내를 문서에 적었습니다. base는 dev이고, 가격 숫자 재서술은 후속 커밋에서 링크로 바꿨습니다.

라인 - src/providers/registry/model-seeds.ts MINIMAX_MODELS: 미리보기가 목록 맨 앞입니다. 기본 모델은 그대로 MiniMax-M3라 PAYG 키로 자동 선택은 안전하지만, 피커에서 맨 위가 Token Plan 전용이라 클릭하면 바로 오류 날 수 있습니다.
라인 - none 처리: 피커에는 none이 없지만, 어딘가에서 none이 오면 필드를 빼서 API 기본(max)으로 돌아갑니다. 400은 막지만, UI/설정이 “없음”인데 실제로는 최대 thinking일 수 있습니다.
라인 - MINIMAX_MODELS_BEFORE_M31을 현재 MINIMAX_MODELS에서 filter로 만듭니다. 지금은 예전 8개 순서와 같아서 맞지만, 나중에 목록 가운데에 다른 id를 끼우면 from이 예전 저장본과 안 맞아 마이그레이션이 조용히 안 돌 수 있습니다.

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

Token Plan 전용 모델을 PAYG 사용자 피커에도 그대로 둘지(문서·오류로 설명), 아니면 앞에 두지 않거나 안내를 더 셀지입니다. none→필드 생략(실질 max)도 의도대로 받아들일지 한 번만 확인하면 됩니다. 마이그레이션·카탈로그 유지·effort 와이어·가격 비움은 증거가 분명합니다.

너의 추천

머지 방향이 맞습니다. 가능하면 미리보기를 목록 앞이 아니라 M3 뒤(또는 기본 근처)로 옮겨 PAYG 클릭 사고를 줄이고, MINIMAX_MODELS_BEFORE_M31은 filter 대신 예전 8개 상수로 고정해 두면 이후 roster 추가에도 안전합니다. types/config 분리나 preview deploy 이야기는 해당 없습니다.
