Quick Start
1. Install Anthropic SDK
2. Configure Environment Variables
3. Call API
Python
4. Important Note
In multi-turn function call conversations, the complete model response (i.e., the assistant message) must be append to the conversation history to maintain the continuity of the reasoning chain.- Append the full
response.contentlist to the message history (includes all content blocks: thinking/text/tool_use)
Supported Models
When using the Anthropic SDK, theMiniMax-M2.1 MiniMax-M2.1-lightning MiniMax-M2 model is supported:
| Model Name | Description |
|---|---|
| MiniMax-M2.1 | Powerful Multi-Language Programming Capabilities with Comprehensively Enhanced Programming Experience (output speed approximately 60 tps) |
| MiniMax-M2.1-lightning | Faster and More Agile (output speed approximately 100 tps) |
| MiniMax-M2 | Agentic capabilities, Advanced reasoning |
The Anthropic API compatibility interface currently only supports the
MiniMax-M2.1 MiniMax-M2.1-lightning MiniMax-M2 model. For other models, please use the standard MiniMax API
interface.Compatibility
