Providers serving this model

Sorted by lowest combined prompt and completion price. Use "provider": {"sort": "throughput"} in the request body (or append :nitro to the model id) to route to the fastest provider instead.

Trust boundary: TR router attestation verifies the TrustedRouter gateway only. Provider policy separately describes the upstream model host's retention, confidential compute, and E2EE posture. Company country is separate from inference location. Weight formats are source-backed declarations, not per-request proofs.

W&B does not publish a zero-retention, confidential-compute, or end-to-end-encryption commitment for this service, so these routes use the Standard privacy tier.

Telnyxtelnyx	$0.28485/1M	$0.0844/1M	$1.1605/1M	Unknown	ZDR Retention details Telnyx's published policy states zero data retention for Telnyx-hosted /v2/ai/openai/chat/completions and /v2/ai/openai/embeddings: content is processed in memory and discarded after the response; request metadata is retained. TrustedRouter currently publishes hosted chat routes and adapts Responses to chat completions. Stateful Responses, AI Assistants with conversation history, third-party models and /v2/ai/embeddings are outside this ZDR scope. OpenAI-compatible embeddings may run in any region. DPA 3.1 restricts training of models available to others, with exceptions for written opt-in or data de-identified under 3.5. This is policy-backed ZDR, not confidential compute or verified end-to-end attestation. Provider policy source	Operator country: US Location details Headquarters / registered office: Austin, Texas, United States. Company location source (reviewed 2026-09-27). Inference: Multi-region, dynamically routed among the model's available Telnyx regions; no fixed inference-region commitment on this TrustedRouter route. Provider-wide GPU region set. Model availability is narrower; see the catalog snapshot below. Germany in the storage-locality documentation does not establish Germany as the inference country. Region pinning through TR: Not supported by the current TrustedRouter integration: it uses api.telnyx.com without Telnyx's strict region controls.

Questions

What model ID should I use for MiniMax: MiniMax M3?

Use minimax/minimax-m3 as the model field with the TrustedRouter OpenAI-compatible API. Credits routing and provider fallback happen behind that model ID.

Which providers serve MiniMax: MiniMax M3?

TrustedRouter currently lists Parasail, Together, Telnyx, Featherless AI, Novita AI, Fireworks AI, SiliconFlow, StreamLake, Lyceum, Boundless, Weights & Biases, DeepInfra, MiniMax, and Atlas Cloud for MiniMax: MiniMax M3. Provider availability and routing eligibility can change as catalog and health data update.

How much does MiniMax: MiniMax M3 cost through TrustedRouter?

The current lowest Credits input price is $0.24265/1M and the lowest Credits output price is $1.0128/1M. Prices are per one million tokens and come from the current route catalog.

How do I require zero data retention for MiniMax: MiniMax M3?

Set provider.min_privacy to zdr on the request. TrustedRouter considers only routes with a recorded zero-data-retention posture and fails closed if no eligible route remains.
