MiniMax M3 and M2.7 are free on AI Gateway
MiniMax M3 and M2.7 are free on AI Gateway via GMI Cloud through Sunday, September 6.
Use minimax/minimax-m3-free or minimax/minimax-m2.7-free to route requests to GMI Cloud. These model IDs will return an error after the free period ends.
To keep requests working after the free period, use the standard model ID without the -free suffix and place GMI Cloud first in the provider order:
AI Gateway tries GMI Cloud first and can fall back to another provider if GMI Cloud can't serve the request. This lets the same code continue working after the free period. Outside the free GMI Cloud route, requests are billed at the serving provider's rate. Both routing options work across all AI Gateway APIs.
To use a free MiniMax model with a coding agent, run vercel ai-gateway coding-agents setup, then select one of the -free model IDs in your agent.
