Instructions to use MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# pip install -U transformers accelerate
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5", trust_remote_code=True, device_map="auto")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

Add IFBench evaluation result

# Add IFBench evaluation result

## Summary

This PR adds the IFBench score reported for `MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5` to `.eval_results/`, following the [Hugging Face Hub evaluation-results specification](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/eval-results). IFBench ([allenai/IFBench_test](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/IFBench_test)) is now an official Hub benchmark, with prompt-level loose accuracy as its headline metric.

## Benchmarks Added

- [IFBench](https://huggingface.co/datasets/allenai/IFBench_test?eval_result=MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5&leaderboard_task_id=prompt_level_loose): 70.0

## Source

- Model card: https://huggingface.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.5 (row: "IFBench")

## Files Added

- `.eval_results/ifbench.yaml`

## Verification

This score is self-reported in the source above; no verified token is provided because it was not run via HF Jobs with inspect-ai. The Hub task is prompt-level loose accuracy (0-100). If your number was computed with a different IFBench variant (strict, or instruction-level), let us know and we will fix or close this PR.
