## Assessment

MiniMax's speech API covers sync, WebSocket, bidirectional and async synthesis with OpenAPI and AsyncAPI files and public prices of $60 to $100 per million characters. Text-to-Speech had only short incidents in 90 days. There is no free tier or official SDK, audio comes back as hex in JSON, and inputs may be used to improve services.

## Score breakdown (methodology v0.7, October 2026 research run)

Assessed 2026-11-06 from public evidence against the published checklist (https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/#checklist). Confidence: medium. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. "This run" is each category's share of the 100 points.

| Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Reliability | 16% | 20 | 75 | 15.0 |
| Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |
| Schema & documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 81 | 13.2 |
| Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 56 | 9.1 |
| Security & auth | 14% | 17.5 | 36 | 6.3 |

| **Total** | | | | **55.1 → C** |

### Why each score

- Reliability 75 (checked 2026-11-06): Atlassian Statuspage at status.minimax.io with a Text-to-Speech component (20). Its history, re-read on 6 November, shows three incidents in the 90 days from 8 August, all titled elevated errors and labelled major, 22 minutes on 28 September, 3 minutes on 16 October and 2 minutes on 19 October, and none in November. Elevated errors with no fuller scope are read as partial, as on minimax-api and minimax-voice-cloning, so minor only (20). T2A is limited to 60 requests a minute, with higher limits on audio subscriptions (15). Error codes 1002 and 2045 say to retry later and avoid sudden increases, with no Retry-After or backoff figures (10 of 15). No SLA (0). No beta or preview label on T2A (10). 20 + 20 + 15 + 10 + 0 + 10 = 75.
- Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes.
- Schema & documentation 81 (checked 2026-11-06): OpenAPI 3.1 for the sync and async routes and AsyncAPI files for the WebSocket and bidirectional sockets (25). llms.txt and a Markdown copy of every page (10). The text field says when to stream and how to mark pauses, and guides separate sync, WebSocket and async use (15 of 20). Enums for model and audio settings, with `model` and `text` required (13 of 15). Examples throughout and the shared table of error codes, but the OpenAPI file documents only a 200 response (10 of 15). Versioned `/v1` paths. The API release notes stop at 28 October 2025, and the last T2A entry is 23 September 2025 (8 of 15). Total 81.
- Agent ergonomics 56 (checked 2026-11-06): API reading of the checklist. Audio comes back hex-encoded inside JSON by default, with subtitles opt-in and format, bitrate and sample rate settable (15 of 25). Voices are listed by type through `POST /v1/get_voice`, which has no pagination and returns 300+ system voices for `all` (10 of 20). Errors come as numeric codes in `base_resp` with a short remedy for each, inside responses documented only as 200 (13 of 20). No idempotency key, and the MCP tools carry no read-only or destructive annotations (10 of 20). Two required fields. No official SDK for speech, with MCP servers in Python and JavaScript (8 of 15). Total 56.
- Security & auth 36 (checked 2026-11-06): Model reading of the checklist, with training and retention in place of the least-privilege and injection lines. Plain API keys with no scopes found, and leaked keys may be disabled (20 of 30). The terms (effective 30 March 2026), as read for minimax-voice-cloning on 4 November, let MiniMax use input and generated content to operate, maintain, develop and improve its services, with no opt-out found, and the privacy policy rules out only training to profile or target consumers (5 of 20). The speech docs call every interface stateless, and no retention period for submitted text or generated audio was found (5 of 15). Responses carry `usage_characters` and a trace ID, with no audit log (6 of 15). No security.txt, disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification found (0 of 20). Total 36.
- Payments & pricing 20 (checked 2026-11-06): No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Per-character prices for every speech model published without a login (20). No free allowance for synthesis is published (0). A person signs up in a browser and funds a balance (0). Total 20.
- Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored.
- Maintenance & community 38 (checked 2026-11-06): Read as a model, as minimax-voice-cloning is. The newest dated change touching speech is the MCP servers' August update, `minimax-mcp-js` 0.0.18 on 21 August 2026, 77 days before 6 November, and Speech 2.8 dates from 23 January 2026 (20 of 30). No dated API entries in the last 90 days (0). Support by email and Discord, not tested (6 of 15). No official SDK for speech; the MCP servers expose `text_to_audio` and `list_voices` (8 of 15). The Python MCP server has tests and moved to version 2 of the MCP SDK in August, with no CI workflow (4 of 10). Total 38.
- Transparency & trust 65 (checked 2026-11-06): Closed API with clear terms under Singapore law naming Nanonoble Pte. Ltd., and MIT MCP servers (15 of 30). Terms and privacy policy agree that inputs may be used to improve services and that data sits in a United States data centre, with no retention period, as on minimax-voice-cloning (8 of 30). The API release notes carry a dated legacy notice of 20 June 2025 for the old text-to-voice API with service continuing, and older speech models stay accepted, with no written policy or notice period (15 of 20). Data location stated as the United States and an EU representative named, third parties only by category (10 of 20). Total 48.

Fix list, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (15 items). What it covers is at https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/minimax-speech.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/minimax-speech.json). The whole list for a coding agent comes from `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/fix-list` with `{"listing": "minimax-speech", "plan": "read"}`, free while the beta runs

### What we couldn't check

- status.minimax.io/api/v2/components.json and incidents.json, which the host's robots.txt disallows, were fetched once by mistake on 6 November. Nothing from them is used; incidents and components were re-read from the allowed /history and home pages.
- unchecked: retention of submitted text and generated audio
- unchecked: whether the MCP repositories' open issues get replies

Nanonoble Pte. Ltd., 152 Beach Road, #14-02 Gateway East, Singapore, is named in the terms (effective 30 March 2026) and the privacy policy (updated 30 March 2026), read on 4 November 2026 from the document text the pages carry for the browser, as on the minimax-api listing. The 8 October reader recorded both pages as unreadable.

RDAP for minimax.io gives a registration date of 2021-03-27 and a transfer on 2025-01-31, as recorded on 8 October.

platform.minimax.io/.well-known/security.txt returns 404 (per the 8 October check), and www.minimax.io/.well-known/security.txt redirects to the home page.

The API release notes page has no entry after 28 October 2025 on 4 November. Model releases are dated on a separate page, whose newest speech model is Speech 2.8 (23 January 2026).

status.minimax.io/robots.txt disallows /api/, so incidents were read from the /history pages only.

firstReleased is left empty. lastRelease is Speech 2.8, dated 23 January 2026 on the model release page.

## Prices

| Item | Price | Unit | Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| speech-2.8-hd | $100 | per 1M characters | sync and async |
| speech-2.8-turbo | $60 | per 1M characters | sync and async |

Across all listings: https://www.anchorterminal.com/prices/index.md

## What a task costs (from the prices above)

| Task | Cost | At |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Narrate a 9,000-character script (about 1,500 words) | $0.54 to $0.90 | speech-2.8-turbo to speech-2.8-hd |

The quantity times this listing's own price, from its cheapest item in that unit to its dearest. Plans, minimums and free allowances aren't counted.

## Strengths

- OpenAPI files for sync and async synthesis and AsyncAPI files for both sockets
- Statuspage with a Text-to-Speech component; three incidents in 90 days, the longest 22 minutes
- Public prices of $60 (Turbo) and $100 (HD) per million characters on sync and async alike
- Pronunciation dictionaries, pause markers, timbre mixing and subtitles
- Official MCP servers in Python and JavaScript with a speech tool

## Weaknesses

- No free allowance for synthesis and no official SDK
- Sync responses carry audio as hex inside JSON, and the OpenAPI file documents only a 200 response
- API release notes stop at 28 October 2025, and the newest speech model dates from January 2026
- Terms let MiniMax use inputs to improve its services with no opt-out, and no retention period is published
- No security.txt, disclosure policy or certification found



## Before you call it (notes for agents)

1. Keep sync requests under 10,000 characters and use the async API for longer text
2. Decode the hex `audio` field before saving, or stream for text over 3,000 characters
3. Check `base_resp.status_code` on every response, since errors arrive inside a 200
4. Stay under 60 requests a minute and back off on code 1002
5. Use speech-2.8-turbo for agents and HD only where quality matters, since HD costs two thirds more

## Connect

## Verify this listing

For the vendor. The badge or a plain link to this page verifies the listing, from a page on minimax.io or one of its subdomains. It shows the listing is the vendor's and that the vendor knows it's here, and it never changes a grade, rank or review. The vendor sends the page's address to `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/verify` as `{"slug": "minimax-speech", "url": "…"}`, or calls the `verify_listing` tool at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp. We fetch the page once, then again every week; two failed checks in a row and the verification lapses, and a later pass restores it.
