Instructions to use MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

vLLM

How to use MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5 with vLLM:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install vLLM from pip:
pip install vllm
# Start the vLLM server:
vllm serve "MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5"
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5

SGLang

How to use MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5 with SGLang:

Install from pip and serve model

# Install SGLang from pip:
pip install sglang
# Start the SGLang server:
python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model-path "MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5" \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --port 30000
# Call the server using curl (OpenAI-compatible API):
curl -X POST "http://localhost:30000/v1/chat/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker images

docker run --gpus all \
    --shm-size 32g \
    -p 30000:30000 \
    -v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
    --env "HF_TOKEN=<secret>" \
    --ipc=host \
    lmsysorg/sglang:latest \
    python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
        --model-path "MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5" \
        --host 0.0.0.0 \

With @ktsaou , @Doctor-Shotgun and @lukealonso , we noticed that the model can be stuck in annoying typos:

The base FP8 model, @Doctor-Shotgun , when using Transformers v5 instead of Transformers v4
The NVFP4 quant from @lukealonso , when using Transformers v5 instead of Transformers v4, see

The pattern is a space after a dot . which is really handicapping for code
My BF16+INT4 AWQ quant, with Transformers v4, see

The pattern is plural being dropped before:
- an underscore test_layer_fixtures.nim instead of test_layers_fixtures.nim
- a slash action/checkout instead of actions/checkout
- a colon tag: instead of tags:
- an uppercase letter

Investigation is being done in this thread: https://huggingface.co/mratsim/MiniMax-M2.5-BF16-INT4-AWQ/discussions/4

Running a native FP8 model on the A100 also exhibits this problem

With transfromers==5.3.0 and sglang (latest) I had same issues. Even tool calls failed due to missing characters in tool names:

<invoke name="list_irectory">
<parameter name="path">/home/yyyyyy/yyyyyyyy/crates</parameter>
</invoke>
</minimax:tool_call>

see missing d in list_directory

After downgrading transformers uv pip install transformers==4.57.6 the issue was gone.
