---

MiniMax supports text chat, image understanding, image generation, and text-to-speech. A single `minimax_api_key` enables all capabilities.

<Tip>
  All capabilities below can be configured in one place via the "Model Management" page in the Web Console, with no need to manually edit the configuration file.
</Tip>

## Text Chat

```json
{
  "model": "MiniMax-M2.7",
  "minimax_api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
```

| Parameter | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `model` | Can be `MiniMax-M2.7`, `MiniMax-M2.7-highspeed`, `MiniMax-M2.5`, `MiniMax-M2.1`, `MiniMax-M2.1-lightning`, `MiniMax-M2`, etc. |
| `minimax_api_key` | Create one in the [MiniMax Console](https://platform.minimaxi.com/user-center/basic-information/interface-key) |

## Image Understanding

MiniMax's M2.x chat models do not support vision natively; vision calls are uniformly routed to `MiniMax-Text-01`. Once `minimax_api_key` is configured, the Agent's Vision tool automatically uses this model, with no need to specify it explicitly in the configuration file.

## Image Generation

```json
{
  "skills": {
    "image-generation": {
      "model": "image-01"
    }
  }
}
```

Available models: `image-01`.

## Text-to-Speech (TTS)

```json
{
  "text_to_voice": "minimax",
  "text_to_voice_model": "speech-2.8-hd",
  "tts_voice_id": "female-shaonv"
}
```

| Parameter | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `text_to_voice_model` | `speech-2.8-hd` (emotional rendering, natural sound), `speech-2.8-turbo` (ultra-fast), `speech-2.6-hd`, `speech-2.6-turbo` |
| `tts_voice_id` | Voice ID; supports Chinese / Cantonese / English / Japanese / Korean — 70+ voices in total |

Common voice examples:
