# MiniMax > [MiniMax-M2](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/model_doc/minimax_m2) was released on 2025‑10‑27. We recommend using MiniMax‑M2 for most use cases due to better overall performance. ## Overview The MiniMax-Text-01 model was proposed in [MiniMax-01: Scaling Foundation Models with Lightning Attention](https://huggingface.co/papers/2501.08313) by MiniMax, Aonian Li, Bangwei Gong, Bo Yang, Boji Shan, Chang Liu, Cheng Zhu, Chunhao Zhang, Congchao Guo, Da Chen, Dong Li, Enwei Jiao, Gengxin Li, Guojun Zhang, Haohai Sun, Houze Dong, Jiadai Zhu, Jiaqi Zhuang, Jiayuan Song, Jin Zhu, Jingtao Han, Jingyang Li, Junbin Xie, Junhao Xu, Junjie Yan, Kaishun Zhang, Kecheng Xiao, Kexi Kang, Le Han, Leyang Wang, Lianfei Yu, Liheng Feng, Lin Zheng, Linbo Chai, Long Xing, Meizhi Ju, Mingyuan Chi, Mozhi Zhang, Peikai Huang, Pengcheng Niu, Pengfei Li, Pengyu Zhao, Qi Yang, Qidi Xu, Qiexiang Wang, Qin Wang, Qiuhui Li, Ruitao Leng, Shengmin Shi, Shuqi Yu, Sichen Li, Songquan Zhu, Tao Huang, Tianrun Liang, Weigao Sun, Weixuan Sun, Weiyu Cheng, Wenkai Li, Xiangjun Song, Xiao Su, Xiaodong Han, Xinjie Zhang, Xinzhu Hou, Xu Min, Xun Zou, Xuyang Shen, Yan Gong, Yingjie Zhu, Yipeng Zhou, Yiran Zhong, Yongyi Hu, Yuanxiang Fan, Yue Yu, Yufeng Yang, Yuhao Li, Yunan Huang, Yunji Li, Yunpeng Huang, Yunzhi Xu, Yuxin Mao, Zehan Li, Zekang Li, Zewei Tao, Zewen Ying, Zhaoyang Cong, Zhen Qin, Zhenhua Fan, Zhihang Yu, Zhuo Jiang, Zijia Wu. The abstract from the paper is the following: *We introduce MiniMax-01 series, including MiniMax-Text-01 and MiniMax-VL-01, which are comparable to top-tier models while offering superior capabilities in processing longer contexts. The core lies in lightning attention and its efficient scaling. To maximize computational capacity, we integrate it with Mixture of Experts (MoE), creating a model with 32 experts and 456 billion total parameters, of which 45.9 billion are activated for each token. We develop an optimized parallel strategy and highly efficient computation-communication overlap techniques for MoE and lightning attention. This approach enables us to conduct efficient training and inference on models with hundreds of billions of parameters across contexts spanning millions of tokens. The context window of MiniMax-Text-01 can reach up to 1 million tokens during training and extrapolate to 4 million tokens during inference at an affordable cost. Our vision-language model, MiniMax-VL-01 is built through continued training with 512 billion vision-language tokens. Experiments on both standard and in-house benchmarks show that our models match the performance of state-of-the-art models like GPT-4o and Claude-3.5-Sonnet while offering 20-32 times longer context window.* ### Architectural details MiniMax is a powerful language model with 456 billion total parameters, of which 45.9 billion are activated per token. To better unlock the long context capabilities of the model, MiniMax adopts a hybrid architecture that combines Lightning Attention, Softmax Attention and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE). Leveraging advanced parallel strategies and innovative compute-communication overlap methods—such as Linear Attention Sequence Parallelism Plus (LASP+), varlen ring attention, Expert Tensor Parallel (ETP), etc., MiniMax's training context length is extended to 1 million tokens, and it can handle a context of up to 4 million tokens during the inference. On various academic benchmarks, MiniMax also demonstrates the performance of a top-tier model. The architecture of MiniMax is briefly described as follows: - Total Parameters: 456B - Activated Parameters per Token: 45.9B - Number Layers: 80 - Hybrid Attention: a softmax attention is positioned after every 7 lightning attention. - Number of attention heads: 64 - Attention head dimension: 128 - Mixture of Experts: - Number of experts: 32 - Expert hidden dimension: 9216 - Top-2 routing strategy - Positional Encoding: Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) applied to half of the attention head dimension with a base frequency of 10,000,000 - Hidden Size: 6144 - Vocab Size: 200,064 For more details refer to the [release blog post](https://www.minimaxi.com/en/news/minimax-01-series-2). ### License `MiniMax` is released under the MINIMAX MODEL LICENSE AGREEMENT. ## Usage tips The pre-trained model can be used as follows: ```python from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-Text-01-hf", device_map="auto") tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-Text-01-hf") messages = [ {"role": "user", "content": "What is your favourite condiment?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well, I'm quite partial to a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice. It adds just the right amount of zesty flavour to whatever I'm cooking up in the kitchen!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Do you have mayonnaise recipes?"} ] model_inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device) generated_ids = model.generate(model_inputs, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True) tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids)[0] "Mayonnaise can be made as follows: (...)" ``` As can be seen, the instruction-tuned model requires a [chat template](../chat_templating) to be applied to make sure the inputs are prepared in the right format. ## Speeding up MiniMax by using Flash Attention The code snippets above showcase inference without any optimization tricks. However, one can drastically speed up the model by leveraging [Flash Attention](../perf_train_gpu_one#flash-attention-2), which is a faster implementation of the attention mechanism used inside the model. First, make sure to install the latest version of Flash Attention 2 to include the sliding window attention feature. ```bash pip install -U flash-attn --no-build-isolation ``` Make also sure that you have a hardware that is compatible with Flash-Attention 2. Read more about it in the official documentation of the [flash attention repository](https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention). Make also sure to load your model in half-precision (e.g. `torch.float16`) To load and run a model using Flash Attention-2, refer to the snippet below: ```python from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-Text-01-hf", attn_implementation="flash_attention_2", device_map="auto") tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-Text-01-hf") prompt = "My favourite condiment is" model_inputs = tokenizer([prompt], return_tensors="pt").to(model.device) model.to(model.device) generated_ids = model.generate(**model_inputs, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True) tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids)[0] "The expected output" ``` ### Sliding window Attention The current implementation supports the sliding window attention mechanism and memory efficient cache management. To enable sliding window attention, just make sure to have a `flash-attn` version that is compatible with sliding window attention (`>=2.3.0`). The Flash Attention-2 model uses also a more memory efficient cache slicing mechanism - as recommended per the official implementation of Mistral model that use rolling cache mechanism we keep the cache size fixed (`self.config.sliding_window`), support batched generation only for `padding_side="left"` and use the absolute position of the current token to compute the positional embedding. ## Shrinking down MiniMax using quantization As the MiniMax model has 456 billion parameters, that would require about 912GB of GPU RAM in half precision (float16), since each parameter is stored in 2 bytes. However, one can shrink down the size of the model using [quantization](../quantization). If the model is quantized to 4 bits (or half a byte per parameter), about 228 GB of RAM is required. Quantizing a model is as simple as passing a `quantization_config` to the model. Below, we'll leverage the bitsandbytes quantization library (but refer to [this page](../quantization) for alternative quantization methods): ```python from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, BitsAndBytesConfig # specify how to quantize the model quantization_config = BitsAndBytesConfig( load_in_4bit=True, bnb_4bit_quant_type="nf4", bnb_4bit_compute_dtype="torch.float16", ) model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-Text-01-hf", quantization_config=True, device_map="auto") tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-Text-01-hf") prompt = "My favourite condiment is" messages = [ {"role": "user", "content": "What is your favourite condiment?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well, I'm quite partial to a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice. It adds just the right amount of zesty flavour to whatever I'm cooking up in the kitchen!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Do you have mayonnaise recipes?"} ] model_inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device) generated_ids = model.generate(model_inputs, max_new_tokens=100, do_sample=True) tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids)[0] "The expected output" ``` This model was contributed by [geetu040](https://github.com/geetu040) and [Shakib-IO](https://github.com/Shakib-IO).

Padding will be ignored by default. Indices can be obtained using [AutoTokenizer](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/auto#transformers.AutoTokenizer). See [PreTrainedTokenizer.encode()](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.encode) and [PreTrainedTokenizer.__call__()](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.__call__) for details. [What are input IDs?](../glossary#input-ids) - **attention_mask** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) -- Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`: - 1 for tokens that are **not masked**, - 0 for tokens that are **masked**. [What are attention masks?](../glossary#attention-mask) - **position_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) -- Indices of positions of each input sequence tokens in the position embeddings. Selected in the range `[0, config.n_positions - 1]`. [What are position IDs?](../glossary#position-ids) - **past_key_values** (`~cache_utils.Cache`, *optional*) -- Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the `past_key_values` returned by the model at a previous stage of decoding, when `use_cache=True` or `config.use_cache=True`. Only [Cache](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance is allowed as input, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache). If no `past_key_values` are passed, [DynamicCache](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.DynamicCache) will be initialized by default. The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input. If `past_key_values` are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed `input_ids` (those that don't have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, unprocessed_length)` instead of all `input_ids` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`. - **inputs_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) -- Optionally, instead of passing `input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This is useful if you want more control over how to convert `input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the model's internal embedding lookup matrix. - **labels** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) -- Labels for computing the masked language modeling loss. Indices should either be in `[0, ..., config.vocab_size]` or -100 (see `input_ids` docstring). Tokens with indices set to `-100` are ignored (masked), the loss is only computed for the tokens with labels in `[0, ..., config.vocab_size]`. - **use_cache** (`bool`, *optional*) -- If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see `past_key_values`). - **output_router_logits** (`bool`, *optional*) -- Whether or not to return the logits of all the routers. They are useful for computing the router loss, and should not be returned during inference. - **logits_to_keep** (`Union[int, torch.Tensor]`, *optional*, defaults to `0`) -- If an `int`, compute logits for the last `logits_to_keep` tokens. If `0`, calculate logits for all `input_ids` (special case). Only last token logits are needed for generation, and calculating them only for that token can save memory, which becomes pretty significant for long sequences or large vocabulary size. If a `torch.Tensor`, must be 1D corresponding to the indices to keep in the sequence length dimension. This is useful when using packed tensor format (single dimension for batch and sequence length).0`MoeCausalLMOutputWithPast` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`A `MoeCausalLMOutputWithPast` or a tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various elements depending on the configuration ([MiniMaxConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/minimax#transformers.MiniMaxConfig)) and inputs. The [MiniMaxForCausalLM](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/minimax#transformers.MiniMaxForCausalLM) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method. Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module` instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while the latter silently ignores them. - **loss** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(1,)`, *optional*, returned when `labels` is provided) -- Language modeling loss (for next-token prediction). - **logits** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, config.vocab_size)`) -- Prediction scores of the language modeling head (scores for each vocabulary token before SoftMax). - **aux_loss** (`torch.FloatTensor`, *optional*, returned when `labels` is provided) -- aux_loss for the sparse modules. - **router_logits** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_router_probs=True` and `config.add_router_probs=True` is passed or when `config.output_router_probs=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, num_experts)`. Raw router logtis (post-softmax) that are computed by MoE routers, these terms are used to compute the auxiliary loss for Mixture of Experts models. - **past_key_values** (`Cache`, *optional*, returned when `use_cache=True` is passed or when `config.use_cache=True`) -- It is a [Cache](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance. For more details, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache). Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks) that can be used (see `past_key_values` input) to speed up sequential decoding. - **hidden_states** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_hidden_states=True` is passed or when `config.output_hidden_states=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, + one for the output of each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`. Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs. - **attentions** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length, sequence_length)`. Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention heads.

Can you talk to me?" >>> inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt") >>> # Generate >>> generate_ids = model.generate(inputs.input_ids, max_length=30) >>> tokenizer.batch_decode(generate_ids, skip_special_tokens=True, clean_up_tokenization_spaces=False)[0] "Hey, are you conscious? Can you talk to me?\nI'm not conscious, but I can talk to you." ``` **Parameters:** config ([MiniMaxForCausalLM](/docs/transformers/v5.8.0/en/model_doc/minimax#transformers.MiniMaxForCausalLM)) : Model configuration class with all the parameters of the model.
