Previously, I shared a free GLM 5.3 large model with 100 million token quota, limited to the weekend. Many subscribers got to enjoy it. If you want timely notifications, you can subscribe via email at the bottom of the website—any news will be sent to you right away!
Without further ado, today I'm introducing a platform to try MiniMax-M3 for free. GMI Cloud has partnered with MiniMax to offer 14 days of free API calls, no restrictions, just sign up and use it. I've registered and confirmed it works. Since there aren't many users yet, later on it'll probably get slammed with 429 errors, so jump on it now!
Application Process
Go directly to the official website https://www.gmicloud.ai, sign up and log in. Try to use Google or GitHub OAuth for registration; using QQ or Sina email may not receive the verification code.
Select model: MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3
Using MiniMax-M3 with Claude
First, configure the environment variables. Set the base URL to https://api.minimax.io/anthropic
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.minimax.io/anthropicexport ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=${YOUR_API_KEY}Then run Claude and you're ready to go. The response speed is very fast right now, and I haven't seen any 429 issues yet!
Codex Usage
I tried configuring Codex but got an error. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I prefer using Claude anyway, so I'll leave that for you to figure out!
unexpected status 422 Unprocessable Entity: Unsupported conversion: openai_response -> claude, url:https://api.gmi-serving.com/v1/responses, cf-ray: a30b448aca33d274-FRAIt looks like this promotion will last until Sep 6, so if you need it, jump on it quickly!
