Kilo Code + MiniMax M2: Free Access, SOTA Performance
We now support the latest version of MiniMax M2 with interleaved thinking and native tool calling enabled by default.
The best part: MiniMax M2 is still 100% free on Kilo Code (for a limited time).
This model is extremely powerful and strikes a great balance between performance, price, and inference speed. Let’s dive deeper.
