## What it is
The official CLI for the MiniMax AI Platform, written in TypeScript, that generates text, images, video, speech, and music from the terminal or AI agents. It supports multi-turn chat, streaming, vision understanding, web search, and dual Global/CN region endpoints.

## Use cases
- generate images from text prompts in the terminal
- synthesize speech with different voices from the command line
- generate video from a text prompt
- chat with MiniMax LLMs from an AI agent
- describe or understand images with vision models
- run web searches powered by MiniMax

## When to choose
- you want terminal or agent access to MiniMax's multimodal generation APIs
- you need a scriptable CLI for text, image, video, and speech generation
- you use agent tools like Cursor or Claude Code and want MiniMax as a skill

## When to avoid
- you need a provider other than MiniMax
- you require a GUI for media generation
- you don't have a MiniMax Token Plan subscription
