Important Notes

  1. The Anthropic API compatibility interface currently only supports the MiniMax-M2 model
  2. Set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to https://api.minimax.io/anthropic when using
  3. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to your MiniMax API Key
  4. The temperature parameter range is (0.0, 1.0], values outside this range will return an error
  5. Some Anthropic parameters (such as thinking, top_k, stop_sequences, service_tier, mcp_servers, context_management, container) will be ignored
  6. Image and document type inputs are not currently supported
