MiniMax M2.5 Matches Frontier Coding Performance at 5% of the Cost.

MiniMax released M2.5 open-weight — a 230B/10B-active MoE model scoring 80.2% on SWE-bench Verified versus Opus 4.6's 80.8%. At $0.15 per task versus $3.00, it delivers near-identical coding quality at one-twentieth the price. MiniMax reports 80% of internal code submissions are now generated by M2.5. For any team running agentic code generation at volume, the cost calculus just changed fundamentally. VentureBeat
