Why it costs less

The official MiniMax H3 Max, for less

The model and its output are the same; the cost of serving it is lower. How our inference works.

01

Official partnerships

Direct partnerships with the official model labs give us their lowest partner pricing on official models like MiniMax H3 Max.

02

Our own GPU inference

For open-source models, our own GPU inference — optimized kernels, warm pools and per-model tuning — makes generation several times faster and lowers the cost further.

03

Automatic routing

Every MiniMax H3 Max request is routed to the most cost-effective healthy route, with live health checks and failover.
