For Token Plan accounts outside the Singapore default, set `base_url` explicitly or use `mode = "token-plan-cn"` for China and `mode = "token-plan-ams"` for Europe/Amsterdam; `novita` targets `https://api.novita.ai/openai/v1`; `fireworks` targets `https://api.fireworks.ai/inference/v1`; `siliconflow` targets SiliconFlow, defaulting to `https://api.siliconflow.com/v1`; `arcee` targets Arcee AI's OpenAI-compatible endpoint at `https://api.arcee.ai/api/v1`; `siliconflow-CN` targets the SiliconFlow China regional endpoint through `[providers.siliconflow_cn]`; `moonshot` targets Moonshot/Kimi, defaulting to `https://api.moonshot.ai/v1`; `sglang` targets a self-hosted OpenAI-compatible endpoint, defaulting to `http://localhost:30000/v1`; `vllm` targets a self-hosted vLLM OpenAI-compatible endpoint, defaulting to `http://localhost:8000/v1`; `ollama` targets Ollama's OpenAI-compatible endpoint, defaulting to `http://localhost:11434/v1`; `huggingface` targets Hugging Face Inference Providers at `https://router.huggingface.co/v1`; `together` targets Together AI at `https://api.together.xyz/v1`; `qianfan` targets Baidu Qianfan at `https://api.baiduqianfan.ai/v1`; `openai-codex` targets ChatGPT/Codex OAuth; `anthropic` targets Claude's native Messages API; `openmodel` targets OpenModel's Anthropic-compatible Messages API at `https://api.openmodel.ai`; `zai` targets Z.ai at `https://api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4`; `stepfun` targets StepFun at `https://api.stepfun.ai/v1`; `minimax` targets MiniMax at `https://api.minimax.io/v1`; `deepinfra` targets DeepInfra at `https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/openai`; `sakana` targets Sakana AI Fugu at `https://api.sakana.ai/v1`.
+- `minimax-anthropic` (string provider value): selects MiniMax's Anthropic-compatible Messages route through `[providers.minimax_anthropic]`. The default Base URL is `https://api.minimax.io/anthropic`; set `https://api.minimaxi.com/anthropic` for China. Keep the `/anthropic` suffix because CodeWhale appends `/v1/messages`. The route uses `MINIMAX_API_KEY` and defaults to `MiniMax-M3`; `MiniMax-M2.7` is also registered. Official M3 input modalities are text, image, and video, with adaptive or disabled thinking. M2.7 is text-only and always keeps thinking enabled.
 - `api_key` (string, required for hosted providers): must be non-empty for DeepSeek/hosted providers (or set the provider API key env var). Self-hosted SGLang, vLLM, and Ollama can omit it.
 - `base_url` (string, optional): defaults to `https://api.deepseek.com/beta` for DeepSeek's OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API, including legacy `provider = "deepseek-cn"` configs. Other defaults are `https://api.deepseek.com/anthropic` for `deepseek-anthropic`, `https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1` for `nvidia-nim`, `https://api.openai.com/v1` for `openai`, `https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1` for `atlascloud`, `https://maas-openapi.wanjiedata.com/api/v1` for `wanjie-ark`, `https://ark.cn-beijing.volces.com/api/coding/v3` for `volcengine`, `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1` for `openrouter`, `https://token-plan-sgp.xiaomimimo.com/v1` for `xiaomi-mimo` when the API key starts with `tp-...` and `https://api.xiaomimimo.com/v1` otherwise, `https://api.novita.ai/openai/v1` for `novita`, `https://api.fireworks.ai/inference/v1` for `fireworks`, `https://api.siliconflow.com/v1` for `siliconflow`, `https://api.siliconflow.cn/v1` for `siliconflow-CN`, `https://api.arcee.ai/api/v1` for `arcee`, `https://api.moonshot.ai/v1` for `moonshot`, `https://api.minimax.io/v1` for `minimax`, `https://api.openmodel.ai` for `openmodel`, `https://api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4` for `zai`, `https://api.stepfun.ai/v1` for `stepfun`, `https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/openai` for `deepinfra`, `https://api.sakana.ai/v1` for `sakana`, `https://router.huggingface.co/v1` for `huggingface`, `https://api.together.xyz/v1` for `together`, `https://api.baiduqianfan.ai/v1` for `qianfan`, `https://chatgpt.com/backend-api` for `openai-codex`, `https://api.anthropic.com` for `anthropic`, `http://localhost:30000/v1` for `sglang`, `http://localhost:8000/v1` for `vllm`, and `http://localhost:11434/v1` for `ollama`.

 - `context_window` (integer, optional provider-table key): override the total context window for the active `[providers.<name>]` route when an OpenAI-compatible gateway, hosted model alias, or self-hosted runtime has a different limit than CodeWhale's static model table. For example, `[providers.openai] context_window = 1000000` lets an OpenAI-compatible DashScope/Qwen route budget against a 1M-token window instead of the conservative fallback. The value must be greater than 0 and affects prompt context notes, compaction thresholds, context-pressure checks, and request output caps.

+MiniMax M3 uses input-length and service tiers. CodeWhale omits
+`service_tier`, so requests use the standard tier and cost estimates select the
+correct standard rate from total input usage. Priority rates are listed to keep
+the official tier structure visible. Prices are USD per million tokens.
