MiniMax's open-weight model for turning prompts into images
Generate detailed images from natural language prompts with the model that anchors MiniMax's image tools.
The weights are released openly so researchers and companies can self-host or fine-tune under MiniMax's licence.
Reach Image-01 through the same developer platform that serves MiniMax's language, speech and video models.
Use the model inside MiniMax Design for prompt-driven visual work without writing code.
Open generative models for image, video, audio, and 3D
Generate and edit high-quality images for marketing, product visuals, and creative work, using the model family that made Stable Diffusion widely known.
Create and edit video, including 3D and 4D video models designed for immersive worlds in gaming and entertainment.
Work with the Stable Audio model family for music, soundscapes, and sound effects, with open-weight releases trained on licensed data.
Integrate production-ready media generation into your own products via a hosted API, with no infrastructure to manage.
