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**SiliconFlow.** Per-token prices for every listed model are public, and one key reaches chat, embeddings, reranking, image, video and speech through OpenAI-style and Anthropic-style routes. No status page, SLA, security page or official SDK was found, release notes stop at 11 June 2026, and several model removals are dated the same day as their notice.\n\n## Before you call either\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### SiliconFlow\n\n1. Set the OpenAI client's base URL to `https://api.siliconflow.com/v1`, or the Anthropic client's to `https://api.siliconflow.com/`, and send the key as a Bearer token\n2. Take model ids from the model pages or `GET /v1/models`, not from the OpenAPI enum or the function calling guide, which list removed models\n3. Check the `model` field of each response. On 11 June 2026 traffic for GLM-5 and Kimi-K2.5 was routed to successor models\n4. Use `response_format` of `json_object` only where the model page says JSON Mode is supported, and keep `max_tokens` about 10,000 below the context length\n5. Set the Claude Code environment variables by hand. The automated route pipes a script from an Amazon S3 bucket into bash\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, MiniMax API or SiliconFlow?\n\nMiniMax API scores 55.2 (C) on agent readiness against SiliconFlow's 46.7 (D), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. SiliconFlow leads on security \u0026 auth and payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do MiniMax API and SiliconFlow need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call MiniMax API and SiliconFlow without installing anything?\n\nYes. MiniMax API has a hosted endpoint at https://api.minimax.io and SiliconFlow at https://api.siliconflow.com/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/minimax-api-vs-siliconflow.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/minimax-api-vs-siliconflow.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"minimax-api\", \"b\": \"siliconflow\"}`.
