MiniMax M3o1-proVerdict
Both models are closely matched on benchmarks. MiniMax M3 has the pricing advantage, making it the better value unless o1-pro's specific capabilities are critical to your workflow.
As of August 20, 2026, MiniMax M3 is 100% cheaper on blended LLM API pricing. MiniMax M3 costs $0.30 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output tokens ($1.50 blended 1M-in + 1M-out). o1-pro costs $150.00 / $600.00 per million tokens ($750.00 blended). Sources: https://anotherwrapper.com/tools/llm-pricing and https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing. The cheapest LLM for your app still depends on how many output tokens you generate.
MiniMax M3 MiniMax API pricing is $0.30 input and $1.20 output per million tokens via MiniMax. o1-pro OpenAI API pricing is $150.00 input and $600.00 output per million tokens via OpenAI. Use those four numbers, not ChatGPT Plus or Claude Pro subscription prices, when you are comparing APIs.
MiniMax M3 has a published SWE-bench Verified score of 80.5%. o1-pro does not have that eval on this page yet.
MiniMax M3 supports a 1M token context window, while o1-pro supports 200K tokens. MiniMax M3 offers a larger context window. Filling a larger window bills more input tokens, so the cheaper-per-million model can still cost more on long documents.
Shared benchmark scores for MiniMax M3 and o1-pro are still limited. Check the comparison table for the evals each model has published. Check the comparison table for GPQA Diamond, SWE-bench, MMLU, HLE, and the other evals we track. Token price and benchmark score together are the usual LLM comparison, not either number alone.
Both MiniMax M3 and o1-pro are production API models. For cost-sensitive production traffic, MiniMax M3 has better economics on the blended 1M-in + 1M-out scale. For maximum capability, weight the benchmark table for your domain. Many production stacks route cheap models for drafts and a frontier model for the hard turn, which is usually cheaper than sending everything to the expensive API.
Yes. Call MiniMax M3 through MiniMax and o1-pro through OpenAI with separate API keys, or through a gateway that already wraps both. Keep prompts in tokens, not characters, when you estimate the invoice. AnotherWrapper templates can swap providers without rewriting auth and billing.
List rates are the latest published MiniMax API pricing and OpenAI API pricing, quoted per million tokens. Official rate sheets: https://anotherwrapper.com/tools/llm-pricing and https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing. Prompt caching, batch APIs, and committed-use discounts can change the invoice. Benchmark scores are from official publications and independent evals, updated as new numbers land.
MiniMax M3 supports up to 131K output tokens per request, while o1-pro supports up to 100K output tokens. Output tokens are usually the expensive half of API pricing, so a higher max output cap is a capability, not a discount.
Neither MiniMax M3 nor o1-pro has published throughput data on this page yet. Throughput (tokens per second) and time-to-first-token are why two models with the same per-million-token price can still feel different in chat and agents.
