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:

Inconsistent shard naming (124 vs 126) in both files and index.json

There's obviously a inconsistency in the file naming for MiniMax-M2.5.

The model shards are named model-00xxx-of-00126.safetensors, and they are also referenced with these names inside the model.safetensors.index.json. However, the actual sequence of files ends at 00124.

While the model seems to be technically complete and the index matches the existing files, the suffix of-00126 is misleading as it suggests that 2 shards (125 and 126) might be missing. It seems the total count was incorrectly set to 126 during the weight export/sharding process.

It’s not a breaking issue, but it might be worth updating the filenames and the index to of-00124 to avoid confusion for users and automated download scripts.

Links in the README.md are btw. also wrong and partly pointing to M2.1 instead of M2.5 (Github-Repo for example).
