MiniMax M1 is described by its maker as the world's first open-weight, large-scale hybrid-attention reasoning model, featuring 456 billion total parameters with 45.9 billion activated per token. Released in June 2025 under the Apache 2.0 license, it pairs a 1M-token context window with a hybrid Mixture-of-Experts architecture and a Lightning Attention mechanism. The model scores 56.0% on SWE-bench (software engineering) and 86.0% on AIME 2024 (mathematics), and leads open-weight models on tool-use benchmarks such as TAU-bench. At 80K-token reasoning lengths, Lightning Attention uses roughly 30% of the compute that DeepSeek R1 requires, enabling efficient scaling of test-time compute across deep reasoning and long-context tasks. The 80K variant provides an 80,000-token reasoning budget for extended thinking. MiniMax trained M1 with CISPO, a reinforcement learning algorithm it reports converges about twice as fast as alternatives, completing training in three weeks on 512 H800 GPUs.
MiniMax M1 runs on 1 route through the Opper gateway. Compare residency, ZDR, and training posture at a glance β full data-handling detail per route below.
| Provider | Region | Zero data retention | Training | Input | Output |

Training posture across routes: No training on prompts by default.
Each route hosting MiniMax M1 has its own privacy posture, residency, and GDPR terms. Postures are maintained by Opper with a last-verification timestamp.
Zero data retention is available via Opper Enterprise contract. No training on customer data. US; SCCs; DPA available.
Independent benchmark scores β composite indices for reasoning, coding, and math, plus individual eval scores where available.
Call MiniMax M1 through the Opper gateway with one API key. Let your coding agent set it up, or call it directly β Opper is drop-in compatible with the OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google AI SDKs.
Copy this and paste it into your coding agent β Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and more β and it'll wire up Opper for you.
