MiniMax-M2.7 and GPT-5.1 (high) perform similarly on overall intelligence, scoring 49.6 and 47.7 respectively. For coding tasks, GPT-5.1 (high) has the edge with a coding score of 44.7 vs 41.9.
GPT-5.1 (high) generates output significantly faster at 92 tok/s compared to MiniMax-M2.7's 45 tok/s, making it 2.0x faster for streaming responses. Time to first token is 1.78s for MiniMax-M2.7 vs 39.04s for GPT-5.1 (high), which affects perceived responsiveness in interactive applications.
MiniMax-M2.7 is more affordable at $0.30/1M input tokens ($1.20/1M output), while GPT-5.1 (high) costs $1.25/1M input ($10/1M output). That makes GPT-5.1 (high) 4.2x more expensive per token, which can add up significantly at scale. For a typical workload of 100 requests per day at 2,000 tokens each, MiniMax-M2.7 would cost approximately $1.80/month vs $7.50/month for GPT-5.1 (high) in input costs alone.
Choose MiniMax-M2.7 when you need lower cost. Choose GPT-5.1 (high) when you need stronger coding performance (44.7), faster output (92 tok/s).
GPT-5.1 (high) scores higher on coding benchmarks (44.7 vs 41.9), making it the better choice for programming tasks.
MiniMax-M2.7 is cheaper at $0.30/1M input tokens vs $1.25/1M for GPT-5.1 (high).
GPT-5.1 (high) is faster, producing output at 92 tok/s compared to MiniMax-M2.7's 45 tok/s.
No, MiniMax-M2.7 does not support image input. Neither model supports image input.
