Providers
MiniMax
Strong agents, huge context
Connect it
- Open Settings → Providers and choose MiniMax.
- Press Open platform.minimax.io and create a key, or use your M Plan key.
- Paste it. Conch checks it before keeping it.
Or paste the key anywhere on Settings → Providers. Its keys don’t start with anything only it uses, so Conch asks you whose it is, then checks it before keeping it.
International and China keys don’t mix. Conch tries both and remembers which took yours.
What you get
MiniMax’s models: strong at agent and coding work, with a million-token context. MiniMax allows M Plan keys in other apps, so your plan works here.
Conch runs the conversation itself: it keeps the thread, hands the model the tools of your apps, and asks you before anything changes. Memory, skills and the browser all work with models that can call tools.
Good to know
- Conch supplies the tools. Tool-capable models can use memory, connected apps and files in this conversation’s work folder, with the same permission checks and Undo tracking. Commands require the OS sandbox, cannot access the network and have no unrestricted fallback. Chat-only models are labelled in the picker. If a model turns out not to take tools, Conch asks it again without them and says so.
- Spend is tracked. Conch records each turn, and you can set a budget. See Offline and at a limit.
- Its thinking shows as thinking. MiniMax thinks out loud inside its answer. Conch shows that as thinking and hands it back between steps, as MiniMax asks.
