💡 MiniMax M2.1 uses "interleaved thinking" to generate reasoning blocks before acting, perfect for complex agentic tasks.
💸 The model is roughly 10% of the cost of major competitors like Claude Sonnet 4.5 while offering similar performance.
🛠️ OpenClaw is model-agnostic and can perform real actions like managing calendars, debugging code, and booking travel.
📊 Benchmarks show MiniMax M2.1 beating top closed-source models on SWE-bench Verified and Multilingual coding tasks.
🔒 Security recommendations include running OpenClaw on a VPS or container to protect personal data during agent operations.
💻 You can now use OpenClaw via a web interface on localhost, eliminating the need for external messaging apps.

Minimax M2.1, a 230B parameter open-source mixture-of-experts model, now natively supports OpenClaw (formerly Claudebot) with OAuth setup. The combination offers a cost-effective AI agent solution at ~10% the cost of Claude Sonnet, with strong performance on coding benchmarks (74% on SWE-bench verified). OpenClaw enables task automation through messaging apps or web interface, handling emails, calendar management, code debugging, and deployments. Setup is simplified via one-line install and OAuth authentication, though security considerations recommend running on isolated systems rather than personal devices.
