It is a research preview with no public Elorian docs, model card or status page, and Elorian's terms allow training on submitted content unless a paid user opts out.\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### Glimpse\n\n1. Call it through OpenRouter as `elorian/glimpse` at https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions. Elorian's own API docs sit behind a console sign-in\n2. Send video as a `video_url` content part, as a public URL or a base64 data URL. Batch requests are not available for this model\n3. Set `max_tokens` yourself. The endpoint allows up to 256,000 output tokens, and visual reasoning spends many of them\n4. Honour Retry-After on 429 and 503. With a single provider, a 503 means the Together deployment is unavailable, not that another host can take over\n5. Treat counts and timestamps as unverified. Elorian's terms say outputs need independent human review before anyone relies on them\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, Glimpse or MiniMax API?\n\nMiniMax API scores 55.2 (C) on agent readiness against Glimpse's 48.6 (D), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Glimpse leads on agent ergonomics, security \u0026 auth, payments \u0026 pricing and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Glimpse and MiniMax API need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Glimpse and MiniMax API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Glimpse has a hosted endpoint at https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 and MiniMax API at https://api.minimax.io.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/elorian-glimpse-vs-minimax-api.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/elorian-glimpse-vs-minimax-api.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"elorian-glimpse\", \"b\": \"minimax-api\"}`.
