MiniMax M3.1 Flash available on Vercel AI Gateway for free until Oct 22
MiniMax M3.1 Flash, an open-weight multimodal model for coding and agentic work with a 1M-token context window, is now available on Vercel AI Gateway. The free rate applies until Oct 22 and only when MiniMax serves the request, which requires sorting by provider in gateway order options.
Why it matters
Builders can test a 1M-token open-weight model for coding and agent workflows at no cost during the offer window. After Oct 22, pinned requests bill at MiniMax's standard rate, so cost planning is needed.
Who should care
Developers building coding agents, AI-powered web apps, and automated multi-step workflows; teams using Vercel AI Gateway.
What you can do
Call minimax/minimax-m3.1-flash through AI Gateway before Oct 22 with provider sorting enabled to confirm the free rate applies to your requests.
