MiniMax: MiniMax M2-her

MiniMax M2-her maintains coherent character personality and tone across extended multi-turn conversations through dialogue-optimized transformer architecture that tracks conversational context and character state. The model uses specialized attention mechanisms trained on roleplay and character-driven datasets to preserve personality traits, speech patterns, and emotional consistency across dozens of turns without degradation. Integration via OpenRouter API enables stateless conversation management where the client maintains turn history and passes full context to each inference call.

M2-her implements tone-aware text generation through embeddings that encode emotional state and expressiveness, allowing fine-grained control over response personality (sarcastic, warm, formal, playful, etc.). The model was trained on diverse conversational datasets with emotional annotations, enabling it to modulate language register, vocabulary selection, and phrasing to match specified emotional contexts. Developers control tone through system prompts or structured metadata passed in API requests.

M2-her generates and continues immersive roleplay scenarios by understanding scene context, character relationships, and narrative momentum. The model uses dialogue-optimized decoding that prioritizes narrative coherence and character-appropriate actions/dialogue over generic responses. Integration via OpenRouter API allows developers to pass scene descriptions, character rosters, and interaction history, with the model generating contextually appropriate roleplay continuations that maintain narrative tension and character authenticity.

M2-her is accessed exclusively through OpenRouter's REST API, which implements stateless inference where clients maintain full conversation history and pass it with each request. The API accepts message arrays in OpenAI-compatible format, returns streaming or non-streaming responses, and provides token usage metrics. This architecture requires client-side responsibility for context assembly, turn management, and conversation persistence, but enables flexible deployment across web, mobile, and backend applications without server-side session state.

M2-her supports streaming responses via Server-Sent Events (SSE) through OpenRouter API, enabling real-time token-by-token delivery of generated dialogue. Clients open a persistent connection and receive response tokens as they're generated, allowing UI updates and perceived responsiveness improvements. The streaming implementation maintains character consistency and tone across token boundaries, with proper handling of special tokens and response completion signals.

M2-her accepts system prompts that define character personality, background, speech patterns, emotional state, and behavioral constraints. The model uses these prompts as conditioning signals during generation, with the dialogue-optimized architecture ensuring system prompt instructions are respected throughout multi-turn conversations. Developers can specify detailed character profiles, relationship dynamics, and interaction rules through natural language system prompts, which the model interprets and applies consistently across turns.

M2-her requires clients to assemble full conversation history as a message array (following OpenAI format) and pass it with each API request. The model processes the entire history to generate contextually appropriate responses, with the dialogue-optimized architecture understanding turn-taking patterns, speaker roles, and conversational flow. Clients are responsible for maintaining message history, managing turn order, and ensuring proper speaker attribution (user vs assistant roles).

unknown — insufficient data. The artifact description mentions support for rich messages but does not specify language support, multilingual capabilities, or cultural context handling. Without documentation on supported languages, character encoding, or cultural adaptation mechanisms, specific architectural details cannot be determined.
