+# MiniMax M2.1/M2 Usage
+
+[MiniMax-M2.1](https://huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.1) and [MiniMax-M2](https://huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2) are advanced large language models created by [MiniMax](https://www.minimax.io/).
+
+MiniMax-M2 series redefines efficiency for agents. It's a compact, fast, and cost-effective MoE model (230 billion total parameters with 10 billion active parameters) built for elite performance in coding and agentic tasks, all while maintaining powerful general intelligence. With just 10 billion activated parameters, MiniMax-M2 provides the sophisticated, end-to-end tool use performance expected from today's leading models, but in a streamlined form factor that makes deployment and scaling easier than ever.
+
+## Supported Models
+
+This guide applies to the following models. You only need to update the model name during deployment. The following examples use **MiniMax-M2**:
+
+- [MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.1](https://huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.1)
+- [MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2](https://huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2)
+
+## System Requirements
+
+The following are recommended configurations; actual requirements should be adjusted based on your use case:
+
+- 4x 96GB GPUs: Supported context length of up to 400K tokens.
+- 8x 144GB GPUs: Supported context length of up to 3M tokens.
+
+## Deployment with Python
+
+4-GPU deployment command:
+
+```bash
+python -m sglang.launch_server \
+    --model-path MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2 \
+    --tp-size 4 \
+    --tool-call-parser minimax-m2 \
+    --reasoning-parser minimax-append-think \
+    --host 0.0.0.0 \
+    --trust-remote-code \
+    --port 8000 \
+    --mem-fraction-static 0.85
+```
+
+8-GPU deployment command:
+
+```bash
+python -m sglang.launch_server \
+    --model-path MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2 \
+    --tp-size 8 \
+    --ep-size 8 \
+    --tool-call-parser minimax-m2 \
+    --reasoning-parser minimax-append-think \
+    --host 0.0.0.0 \
+    --trust-remote-code \
+    --port 8000 \
+    --mem-fraction-static 0.85
+```
+
+## Testing Deployment
+
+After startup, you can test the SGLang OpenAI-compatible API with the following command:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d '{
+        "model": "MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2",
+        "messages": [
+            {"role": "system", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "You are a helpful assistant."}]},
+            {"role": "user", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "Who won the world series in 2020?"}]}
+        ]
+    }'
+```
