AI Provider for MiniMax

Description

This plugin integrates MiniMax as an AI provider for the WordPress AI Client. It enables access to MiniMax’s high-performance AI models through the OpenAI-compatible API.

This plugin is an independent, third-party integration and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by MiniMax. “MiniMax” is the name of the third-party service this plugin connects to.

Features:

  • Seamless integration with the WordPress AI Client plugin
  • Dynamic model discovery from the MiniMax API
  • Support for text generation with all MiniMax-M2 and M1 series models including highspeed variants
  • Secure API key management via WordPress settings or environment variable

Supported Models (fallback list):

MiniMax-M2.7, MiniMax-M2.7 Highspeed, MiniMax-M2.5, MiniMax-M2.5 Highspeed, MiniMax-M2.1, MiniMax-M2.1 Highspeed, MiniMax-M2, MiniMax-M1, MiniMax-Text-01

When an API key is configured, the live model list is fetched directly from the MiniMax API.

Requirements:

  • WordPress AI Client plugin (or WordPress 7.0+ with built-in AI Client)
  • A MiniMax account and API key

API Key Configuration:

Set your MiniMax API key in one of two ways:

  1. WordPress AI Client settings — go to the WordPress AI Client configuration page and enter your MiniMax API key there
  2. MINIMAX_API_KEY environment variable on your server (takes priority over the database setting)

External Services

This plugin connects to the MiniMax API (https://api.minimax.io/v1) to provide AI text generation.

What the service does: MiniMax is a third-party AI platform that provides large language model APIs. This plugin uses it to retrieve available models and send text generation requests.

What data is sent and when:

  • Your MiniMax API key is sent via the Authorization header on every request.
  • When a WordPress feature triggers AI text generation, the text prompt or conversation is sent to https://api.minimax.io/v1.
  • When the model list is refreshed (once per hour, cached via WordPress transients), a request is sent to https://api.minimax.io/v1/models with your API key.

No data is sent until you enter an API key and a WordPress feature triggers a request.

This service is provided by MiniMax: Terms of Service, Privacy Policy.

What is MiniMax?

MiniMax is an AI company that provides high-performance language models, including the MiniMax-M2 series known for their coding and text generation capabilities. Learn more at minimax.io.

Do I need the WordPress AI Client?

Yes. This plugin is a provider add-on for the WordPress AI Client. Install and activate that plugin first.

Where do I get an API key?

Sign up at minimax.io and generate an API key from your account dashboard.

Is my API key stored securely?

Your API key is stored by the WordPress AI Client plugin in the WordPress options table. For higher security, set the MINIMAX_API_KEY environment variable on your server instead — this bypasses the database entirely.
