Same workload, your numbers

Prices are USD per 1M tokens. A month is 30 days. Cache hits use the cache-read rate when the model has one; otherwise the cache field is ignored.

MiniMax-M2.7 and MiniMax-M3 cost the same at these inputs.

monthly = requests/day × 30 × (input tokens × (1 − cache hit) × input price + input tokens × cache hit × cache-read price + output tokens × output price) ÷ 1,000,000
