Deprecated models get one week's notice and are then redirected to another model, there is no changelog or SLA, and an account needs a card or prepayment before any call.\n\n**MiniMax API.** M3.1 Flash costs $0.15 in and $0.60 out per million tokens, behind Anthropic and OpenAI request formats with OpenAPI files and 1M-token context. The terms let MiniMax use inputs and outputs to improve its services with no opt-out found, and the status page logged 23 short LLM incidents in the week to 19 October 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### DeepInfra\n\n1. Call `GET https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/openai/models` at start-up for ids, context sizes and prices. No key is needed\n2. Check the `model` field of each response. After a deprecation date, requests to the old id are served by a replacement model\n3. Ask the account owner for a scoped JWT limited to the models and spend the task needs, not the full API key\n4. Stay under 200 concurrent requests per model. On 429 `engine_overloaded`, retry after a delay, or send `models` with up to four fallbacks\n5. Never inspect a JWT with `GET /v1/scoped-jwt?jwtoken=`, which puts the token in the URL. Keep credentials in the `Authorization` header\n\n### MiniMax API\n\n1. Use the Anthropic-format base URL `https://api.minimax.io/anthropic` for tool calls. The OpenAI-format schema has no `tool_choice` or `response_format`\n2. Set `output_config.effort` (or `reasoning_effort`) below `max` for routine calls. M3.1 Flash defaults to max, can't turn thinking off, and counts thinking against `max_tokens`\n3. Don't rely on `stop_sequences` or `top_k`. The Anthropic-format endpoint ignores them\n4. Back off on 429 and 529 yourself. No Retry-After header is documented\n5. Use a pay-as-you-go key for production. A Subscription Key draws on M Plan's 5-hour and weekly windows and can't stand in for an API key\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, DeepInfra or MiniMax API?\n\nDeepInfra scores 63 (B) on agent readiness against MiniMax API's 55.2 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. MiniMax API leads on reliability and schema \u0026 documentation.\n\n### Do DeepInfra and MiniMax API need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call DeepInfra and MiniMax API without installing anything?\n\nYes. DeepInfra has a hosted endpoint at https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/openai and MiniMax API at https://api.minimax.io.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepinfra-vs-minimax-api.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/deepinfra-vs-minimax-api.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"deepinfra\", \"b\": \"minimax-api\"}`.
