MiniMax - CowAgent

MiniMax supports text chat, image understanding, image generation, and text-to-speech. A single minimax_api_key enables all capabilities.

All capabilities below can be configured in one place via the “Model Management” page in the Web Console, with no need to manually edit the configuration file.

Text Chat

{
  "model": "MiniMax-M3",
  "minimax_api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}

Parameter	Description
`model`	Can be `MiniMax-M3`, `MiniMax-M2.7`, `MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed`, etc.
`minimax_api_key`	Create one in the MiniMax Console

Image Understanding

MiniMax’s M2.x chat models do not support vision natively; vision calls are uniformly routed to MiniMax-Text-01. Once minimax_api_key is configured, the Agent’s Vision tool automatically uses this model, with no need to specify it explicitly in the configuration file.

Image Generation

  "skills": {
    "image-generation": {
      "model": "image-01"
    }
  }
}

Available models: image-01.
