Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

The extremes

The ten fastest GPUs for MiniMax-M2.5

Ranked by estimated tokens per second, newest card first where speeds tie. Because generation is bound by memory bandwidth, this ordering follows bandwidth rather than any gaming benchmark.

The smallest GPUs that still run MiniMax-M2.5

The cheapest route in, by memory capacity. A tight fit runs the model but leaves nothing spare for a longer conversation.

What the numbers mean

Hardware requirements in practice

Minimum card

Radeon Instinct MI250

Memory needed

112.6 GB

Fastest

34.2 tok/s

At 229B parameters, MiniMax-M2.5 is beyond what any single graphics card holds. Running it means either splitting it across several cards or renting hardware built for the job — 17 of the cards we track can hold it on their own, and all of them are datacentre parts.

The entry point is the Radeon Instinct MI250: 128 GB of memory, Q3_K_M compression, roughly 12.8 tokens per second.

A B200 is the fastest we calculate for it: about 34.2 tokens per second, from 8,000 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

Background

MiniMax-M2.5 was published by MiniMax, in China, in February 2026. The organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in Language, and is recorded as doing code generation, System control, Search, Language modeling/generation, Question answering.

The weights are published, so it can be downloaded and run on your own hardware indefinitely, offline, with no account attached.

Reading the throughput figures

Half the cards that hold it manage more than 12.8 tokens per second, and 15 exceed reading speed outright.

Being dense, it reads all of itself per token, which is why the ordering by speed below follows the ordering by memory bandwidth so closely.

Memory here is estimated from size rather than computed from the architecture, which is not recorded for this model — the numbers are indicative rather than exact.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for MiniMax-M2.5

The table above has already assessed every card we hold specifications for against this model. Getting to your answer takes six steps.

01

Read the memory figure first

Look at what MiniMax-M2.5 actually needs — around 112.6 GB at Q3_K_M. No amount of processing power compensates for a card that cannot hold it.
02

Match the context to your actual use

Longer conversations cost memory on top of what the weights need. Move the slider to your real working length before trusting any row for MiniMax-M2.5.
03

Decide how much compression you will accept

Compression is what makes MiniMax-M2.5 fit smaller cards, at some cost in accuracy — Q3_K_M on the smallest card that fits. A minimum quality removes the ones that go too far.
04

Compare tokens per second, not specifications

The speed ordering for MiniMax-M2.5 is effectively an ordering by memory bandwidth, which is why the B200 tops it at 34.2 tok/s.
05

Check the fit verdict before buying

A tight fit runs MiniMax-M2.5 but leaves nothing spare for a longer conversation; comfortable has headroom. If you expect to grow the context, buy for comfortable.
06

Open the card you have settled on

Every card name links to its own page, which runs the same calculation across the whole model catalogue. Worth a look before buying for MiniMax-M2.5 alone — a card is usually bought for more than one model.

Answers

MiniMax-M2.5 — common questions

Where can I download MiniMax-M2.5?

The weights for MiniMax-M2.5 are published, though we do not hold a repository link for it. This site calculates hardware requirements rather than hosting model files.

Can I run MiniMax-M2.5 if it does not fit in my GPU?

It can be split between the card and system memory, but MiniMax-M2.5 generates painfully slowly that way — the nearest miss we calculate is short by 52.8 GB. Nothing on this page assumes offloading.

Would two GPUs run MiniMax-M2.5 faster?

Two cards buy memory rather than speed. That matters for MiniMax-M2.5 only if one card cannot hold it — 17 can, so a second adds little.

Why does the quantisation differ between cards for MiniMax-M2.5?

Each card is shown running the least-compressed copy it can hold, and MiniMax-M2.5 appears at 6 different compression levels across the cards that fit it. Bigger cards get the more accurate version.

How accurate are these MiniMax-M2.5 speed estimates?

Every figure is derived from memory bandwidth and model size, not benchmarked. That is why each is published as a range such as 20–55 tok/s on the B200 rather than a single number.

What GPU do I need to run MiniMax-M2.5?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds MiniMax-M2.5 is the Radeon Instinct MI250, with 128 GB of memory. It runs the model at Q3_K_M using about 112.6 GB, and produces roughly 12.8 tokens per second. 17 cards in total can run it.

How fast is MiniMax-M2.5 on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is a B200 at about 34.2 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and 15 of the cards that can run MiniMax-M2.5 clear that.

How much VRAM does MiniMax-M2.5 need?

About 112.6 GB at Q3_K_M compression, which is what the smallest card that runs it uses. Less compression needs more: the figures in the memory column above are recalculated for each card, because each one holds the least-compressed version it can.

Is MiniMax-M2.5 open source?

Its weights are published, so MiniMax-M2.5 can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.

How many parameters does MiniMax-M2.5 have?

MiniMax-M2.5 has 229B parameters. HF lists 229B params 10B active parameters. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.

Who created MiniMax-M2.5?

MiniMax-M2.5 was published by MiniMax, based in China, categorised as industry.

When was MiniMax-M2.5 released?

MiniMax-M2.5 was published in February 2026.

What is MiniMax-M2.5 used for?

MiniMax-M2.5 works in Language, and is recorded as handling code generation, System control, Search, Language modeling/generation, Question answering. A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.
