# Integrating Open WebUI with MiniMax M2.1
MiniMax is a leading AI company providing high-performance coding-focused models. Their latest model, **MiniMax M2.1**, is specifically optimized for coding, reasoning, and multi-turn dialogue. This guide covers how to set up MiniMax via their cost-effective **Coding Plan** and integrate it into Open WebUI.
## Step 1: Subscribe to a MiniMax Coding Plan
MiniMax offers a "Coding Plan" subscription which is significantly more cost-effective for high-frequency programming than standard pay-as-you-go models.
1. Visit the [MiniMax Coding Plan Subscription page](https://platform.minimax.io/subscribe/coding-plan).
2. Choose a plan that fits your needs (e.g., the **Starter** plan for $10/month).
3. Complete the subscription process.
> [!NOTE]
> The **Starter** plan provides 100 "prompts" every 5 hours. One prompt is roughly equivalent to 15 requests, offering substantial value compared to token-based billing.

## Step 2: Obtain Your Coding Plan API Key
Once subscribed, you need your specialized API Key.
1. Navigate to the [Account/Coding Plan page](https://platform.minimax.io/user-center/payment/coding-plan).
2. Click on **Reset & Copy** to generate and copy your API Key.
3. Safely store this key in a password manager.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> This API Key is exclusive to the Coding Plan and is not interchangeable with standard pay-as-you-go API Keys.
## Step 3: Configure Connection in Open WebUI
Now, link MiniMax to your Open WebUI instance.
1. Open Open WebUI and navigate to the **Admin Panel** > **Settings** > **Connections**.
2. Click the **+** (plus) icon under the **OpenAI API** section.
3. Enter the following details:
- **API Base URL**: `https://api.minimax.io/v1`
- **API Key**: `YOUR_CODING_PLAN_API_KEY`
4. **Important**: MiniMax does not expose models via a `/models` endpoint, so you must whitelist the model manually.
5. In the **Model Whitelist**, type `MiniMax-M2.1` and click the **+** icon.
6. Click **Verify Connection** (you should see a success alert).
7. Click **Save** on the connection popup, then scroll down and click **Save** on the main Connections page.

## Step 4: Start Chatting
You are now ready to use MiniMax M2.1!
1. Start a new chat.
2. Select **MiniMax-M2.1** from the model dropdown menu.
3. Send a message. Reasoning and thinking work by default without any additional configuration.
