توضیحات

This plugin is an AI connector for MiniMax. It registers MiniMax with the WordPress AI Client, so every AI-enabled plugin on your site can generate text and images through MiniMax — text generation, chat, image understanding on MiniMax-M3, and image generation with image-01.

This plugin is an independent, third-party integration and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by MiniMax.

Why MiniMax?

MiniMax is an AI company known for its high-performance, cost-effective language models. The MiniMax M2 and M3 series deliver frontier-level text generation quality — competitive with top models from OpenAI and Anthropic — while offering attractive pricing for high-volume WordPress use cases.

MiniMax models are particularly strong at:

Long-context tasks — handling large documents, long conversations, and extended content generation
Instruction following — precise, structured output generation suitable for automated pipelines
Multilingual content — strong performance in English, Chinese, and other languages
Creative writing — rich, nuanced prose generation for blogs, marketing copy, and storytelling

Features

MiniMax M2 and M3 series models — including Highspeed variants optimised for faster responses
Automatic model discovery — live model list fetched from the MiniMax API and cached hourly; falls back to a hardcoded list when offline
Full parameter control — temperature, max tokens, top P, thinking mode, service tier, system instruction, and function declarations
Chat history — multi-turn conversations, not just single prompts
Image generation — image-01, with aspect ratio, orientation and multiple candidates
Settings page — configure default model and generation parameters without touching code
API key via Connectors — enter your key once in Settings > Connectors; all AI-enabled plugins share it automatically
Environment variable support — MINIMAX_API_KEY for server-level configuration, bypassing the database entirely
OpenAI-compatible API — uses the standard OpenAI API protocol for broad compatibility
Highspeed variants — M2.7 Highspeed, M2.5 Highspeed, and M2.1 Highspeed for latency-sensitive applications

What Can You Do With AI in WordPress?

Once this provider is configured, any WordPress plugin or theme that integrates with the WordPress AI Client can use it:

Block editor (Gutenberg) — AI writing assistance, rephrasing, summarising, and expanding content
WooCommerce — generate product descriptions, SEO meta titles, customer review summaries, and category descriptions
SEO plugins — generate meta descriptions, focus keyphrases, and Open Graph content
Customer support — power AI chatbots and automate FAQ responses
Translation and localisation — translate and adapt content for English, Chinese, and other markets
Content marketing — generate blog post drafts, social media copy, and email newsletters
Image alt text — generate accessible alt attributes for media library images

Supported Models

When an API key is configured, the live model list is fetched directly from the MiniMax API, so you always see the latest models. If the API is ever unavailable, a built-in fallback list of 8 models keeps everything working — the MiniMax-M3 flagship plus the M2 series (M2.7, M2.5, M2.1, and M2), each with an optional Highspeed variant tuned for lower latency.

Requirements

PHP 7.4 or higher
WordPress 7.0 or higher
A MiniMax account and API key

How the WordPress AI Provider System Works

WordPress 7.0 introduced a built-in AI Client SDK. Plugins and themes call a standard API (e.g. “generate text from this prompt”) without knowing which AI provider is active. Provider plugins like this one register themselves with WordPress and handle the actual API calls.

This means:

Install this plugin MiniMax is registered as an AI provider
Enter your API key in Settings > Connectors
Every AI-enabled plugin on your site can now use MiniMax automatically

You can also install multiple provider plugins and switch between them from the Connectors screen — no re-configuration of individual plugins needed.

Settings

Go to Settings > MiniMax to configure:

Default Model — the model used when no explicit model is requested by a plugin
Temperature — controls output randomness (0.0–2.0, default 0.7)
Max Tokens — maximum tokens in the response (1–1,000,000, default 4096)
Top P — nucleus sampling threshold (0.0–1.0, default 1.0)
Thinking — whether MiniMax-M3 reasons before answering; disabling it is faster and cheaper (adaptive or disabled, default adaptive)
Service Tier — standard, or priority routing at 1.5x the cost (default standard)

For Developers

This plugin follows the official WordPress AI Provider pattern and works with any plugin built on the WordPress AI Client SDK. It registers the minimax provider and supports the generation options MiniMax actually honours (temperature, max tokens, top P, system instruction, and function declarations). Presence and frequency penalties and stop sequences are deliberately not declared, because MiniMax documents them as ignored.

External Services

This plugin connects to the MiniMax API (https://api.minimax.io/v1) to:

Retrieve the list of available AI models (cached for 1 hour via WordPress transients)
Send text generation requests using your configured model

Service: MiniMax
API endpoint: https://api.minimax.io/v1
When data is sent: When generating AI text or refreshing the model list
Data sent: Your API key (via Authorization header) and the text prompt/conversation
Terms of Service: platform.minimax.io/protocol/terms-of-service
Privacy Policy: platform.minimax.io/protocol/privacy-policy

No data is sent to the MiniMax API until you enter an API key and a WordPress feature triggers a text generation request.

سوالات متداول

What is MiniMax?

MiniMax is an AI company building high-performance large language models. Their MiniMax M2 and M3 series offer frontier-level text generation capabilities with strong multilingual support and competitive pricing. Learn more at minimax.io.

Where do I enter my API key?

Go to Settings > Connectors in your WordPress admin and enter your MiniMax API key there. All AI-enabled plugins on your site will automatically use it. Alternatively, set the MINIMAX_API_KEY environment variable on your server.

Do I need to install a separate AI Client plugin?

No. WordPress 7.0 and higher include the AI Client SDK natively — no additional plugin is required.

Which MiniMax model should I choose as the default?

Best quality — MiniMax-M3 for the highest capability and long-context tasks
Speed + quality — MiniMax-M2.7 Highspeed or MiniMax-M2.5 Highspeed for fast responses without much quality loss
Cost-effective — MiniMax-M2.1 or MiniMax-M2.1 Highspeed for high-volume, lower-cost use cases
General use — MiniMax-M2.5 is a well-rounded choice for most WordPress content tasks

What happens if the MiniMax API is unreachable?

The plugin falls back to a hardcoded list of 8 MiniMax models so the AI Client continues to function and AI-enabled plugins stay operational.

Can I use multiple AI provider plugins at the same time?

Yes. WordPress lets you install multiple provider plugins. You can switch the active provider from Settings > Connectors at any time without reconfiguring any plugin.

Is my API key stored securely?

Your API key is stored in the WordPress options table, which is protected by your database credentials. For higher security, set the MINIMAX_API_KEY environment variable on your server — this keeps the key entirely out of the database.

How does billing work?

Billing is handled entirely by MiniMax. Your usage is billed according to MiniMax’s pricing based on tokens consumed. WordPress and this plugin do not charge anything.

What generation parameters does this provider support?

Temperature, max tokens, top P, thinking mode, service tier, system instruction, and function declarations. Presence and frequency penalties and stop sequences are not offered: MiniMax ignores them, so a control for them would do nothing.

Is MiniMax good for multilingual content?

Yes. MiniMax models perform well across multiple languages, particularly English and Chinese. They are a strong choice for WordPress sites targeting multilingual or Chinese-language audiences.

Can I use this for WooCommerce product descriptions?

Yes, if you have a WooCommerce plugin that integrates with the WordPress AI Client. Once this provider is active and your API key is set, any AI-enabled WooCommerce plugin can generate product descriptions, SEO meta, and more.

Does this work with the Gutenberg block editor?

Yes. Any Gutenberg plugin or block that uses the WordPress AI Client will automatically use this provider once configured.

Do you have a developer API?

This plugin implements the standard WordPress AI Client provider interface. Developers building plugins or themes on top of the WordPress AI Client do not need to do anything special — if this provider is active, it will be available automatically.

گزارش تغییرات

1.5.0 – 2026-08-09

Added
– Settings are now applied to requests. Temperature, max tokens and top_p had been stored since 1.0.0 and never read — nothing outside the settings class touched minimax_settings, so saving the form changed a database row and nothing else. A caller’s own value still wins; the saved values fill in what was left unset.
– Thinking mode — MiniMax-M3 can be told to answer without reasoning first, which is faster and cheaper. The M2 series always reasons and ignores the setting.
– Service tier — opt in to priority routing, which MiniMax bills at 1.5x standard.
– minimax_generate_text_params filter, for anything this plugin does not model.

Image input on MiniMax-M3. Vision has worked since the first release — the AI Client turns an image into an image_url content part — but was never declared, so image prompts were routed to other providers. The M2 series is text only and is declared as such.
Custom options. Arbitrary passthrough parameters, which the AI Client’s base class already merged into the request body but which no caller could reach, because the option was not declared. All three official WordPress AI providers offer this.
Image generation. image-01 is now offered as an image model, served from MiniMax’s own /v1/image_generation endpoint. Aspect ratio, orientation, number of candidates, and a choice between a URL and inline base64 are all supported. Reach seed, prompt_optimizer and subject_reference through the new minimax_generate_image_params filter.
Chat history — the models are now declared as supporting multi-turn conversations, not just single prompts. They always could (the OpenAI-compatible endpoint takes a messages array and the AI Client already sends one), but the capability was never declared and the AI Client routes on the declaration, so conversation requests were going to other providers. Every official WordPress AI provider declares this.

Changed
– PHP namespace is now MiniMax\MiniMaxAiProvider\ (was AlAminAhamed\MiniMaxAiProvider\).
– Class names dropped their MiniMax prefix, which the namespace already carries: MiniMaxProvider is Provider, MiniMaxSettings is Settings, MiniMaxModelMetadataDirectory is ModelMetadataDirectory, MiniMaxTextGenerationModel is TextGenerationModel, and MiniMaxProviderAvailability is ProviderAvailability.
– Max tokens now accepts up to 1,000,000, matching MiniMax-M3’s context window. The previous ceiling of 200,000 was the M2 limit.

Restructured the bootstrap. The plugin file is now an entry point — constants, autoloader, boot — and all wiring moved into an AI_Provider_For_MiniMax singleton in class-ai-provider-for-minimax.php, so every hook the plugin registers is visible in one file. Matches the layout used across this author’s other plugins.
Added MINIMAX_VERSION, MINIMAX_URL and MINIMAX_PATH constants; only MINIMAX_PLUGIN_FILE existed before.

Both renames are internal. No hook, option, setting or model id changes, and nothing a site has configured is affected — but any code referencing these classes directly needs updating.

Removed
– Presence penalty and frequency penalty settings. MiniMax documents both as ignored on its OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so the controls could not affect anything. Saved values are left in the database untouched.
– presencePenalty, frequencyPenalty and stopSequences are no longer declared as supported model options. The AI Client uses those declarations to decide which model can satisfy a request, so claiming them routed callers here and had their request quietly ignored. A caller that needs stop sequences is now correctly routed elsewhere.

1.4.0 – 2026-07-21

Added
– Connection status on the settings page — shows whether a MiniMax API key is configured, with a link to the Connectors screen.
– “Connectors” quick link on the Plugins screen, next to Settings.

Changed
– Synced the built-in fallback model list to the official MiniMax catalogue — added MiniMax-M3 and removed the retired MiniMax-M1 and MiniMax-Text-01 (8 models).
– Default model is now MiniMax-M3, pre-selected out of the box instead of an empty choice.

Fixed
– Autoloader collision with WordPress core’s bundled AI Client that could cause a TypeError on AI requests — the plugin no longer ships a conflicting copy of php-ai-client (WordPress core provides it at runtime).

1.3.1 – 2026-06-16

Fixed
– API key stored via Settings > Connectors (connectors_ai_minimax_api_key) now correctly used for live model list fetching — previously fell back to the hardcoded model list even when the Connectors key was set.
– Settings get_settings() now returns all 6 default fields when the saved option is corrupt or missing; previously returned only temperature and max_tokens.

1.3.0 – 2026-06-16

Added
– Top P, Presence Penalty, and Frequency Penalty settings fields on the admin settings page.
– Full SupportedOptions coverage: temperature, top P, presence penalty, frequency penalty, stop sequences, system instruction, function declarations, and max tokens.

Changed
– Extracted all admin HTML markup to templates/admin/ for cleaner separation of logic and presentation.
– Renamed plugin class directory from src/ to includes/ per WordPress plugin conventions.
– Removed AI Client SDK from Composer production dependencies — WordPress 7.0+ provides it natively at runtime.
– Updated Requires at least to 7.0.

1.2.1 – 2026-05-01

Fixed
– Connector showing as “Connected” before any API key is entered — provider availability now correctly checks for a configured API key.

1.2.0 – 2026-04-01

Added
– Provider logo displayed on the WordPress Connectors page.
– Expanded test suite from 33 to 44 tests covering all model IDs, highspeed variants, provider logo path, and settings edge cases.

Fixed
– False “no valid connector” warning on the AI admin page when API key is set via the Connectors page.

1.1.0 – 2026-03-01

Added
– Updated fallback model list to include all current MiniMax text generation models: M2.7, M2.7 Highspeed, M2.5, M2.5 Highspeed, M2.1, M2.1 Highspeed, M2, M1, and Text-01.
– Domain Path header field to plugin file.

Changed
– Improved plugin file header field ordering per WordPress.org standard.
– Updated tested up to WordPress 7.0.

1.0.0 – 2026-01-01

Initial release.
MiniMax provider registration with WordPress AI Client.
Dynamic model discovery with transient caching and fallback list.
Settings page for default model configuration.
Support for MINIMAX_API_KEY environment variable.
