Use mmx to generate text, images, video, speech, and perform web search via the MiniMax AI platform.
Region is auto-detected. Override with --region global or --region cn.
Always use these flags in non-interactive (agent/CI) contexts:
| Flag | Purpose |
|---|---|
--non-interactive | Fail fast on missing args instead of prompting |
--quiet | Suppress spinners/progress; stdout is pure data |
--output json | Machine-readable JSON output |
--async | Return task ID immediately (video generation) |
--dry-run | Preview the API request without executing |
--yes | Skip confirmation prompts |
Chat completion. Default model: MiniMax-M3.
| Flag | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
--message <text> | string, required, repeatable | Message text. Prefix with role: to set role (e.g. "system:You are helpful", "user:Hello") |
--messages-file <path> | string | JSON file with messages array. Use - for stdin |
--system <text> | string | System prompt |
--model <model> | string | Model ID (default: MiniMax-M3) |
--max-tokens <n> | number | Max tokens (default: 4096) |
--temperature <n> | number | Sampling temperature (0.0, 1.0] |
--top-p <n> | number | Nucleus sampling threshold |
--stream | boolean | Stream tokens (default: on in TTY) |
--tool <json-or-path> | string, repeatable | Tool definition JSON or file path |
stdout: response text (text mode) or full response object (json mode).
Generate images. Model: image-01.
| Flag | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
--prompt <text> | string, required | Image description |
--aspect-ratio <ratio> | string | e.g. 16:9, 1:1. Ignored if --width and --height are both set |
--n <count> | number | Number of images (default: 1) |
--seed <n> | number | Random seed for reproducible generation |
--width <px> | number | Width in pixels (512–2048, multiple of 8). Requires --height |
--height <px> | number | Height in pixels (512–2048, multiple of 8). Requires --width |

--out-prefix <prefix> | string | Filename prefix (default: image) |
Generate video. Default model: MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3 (or MiniMax-Hailuo-2.3-Fast for fast mode with --image). This is an async task — by default it polls until completion.
For MiniMax-H3 — text-to-video, first/last-frame, multimodal reference image/video/audio generation, prompt construction, and failure handling — use the dedicated mmx-h3-video skill instead.

CLI flags → environment variables → ~/.mmx/config.json → defaults.
Set per-modality defaults so you don't need --model every time:
Resolution priority: --model flag > config default > hardcoded fallback.
