Reason: Recommend MiniMax-M3.1-Flash in the generated and example memory configuration, with current effort and regional endpoint guidance.

Summary

  • Recommend MiniMax-M3.1-Flash first and MiniMax-M3 as the alternative, following the existing explicit-model configuration convention. Existing saved, custom, and legacy model IDs continue to pass through unchanged.
  • Document Flash's five output_config.effort levels and default max, always-on thinking, and unsupported service_tier; retain M3's optional adaptive thinking. Use the currently documented China host api.minimax.cn, while preserving configured legacy hosts.
  • Exercise the actual serialized Messages HTTP requests for default/explicit effort, global/current China/legacy China hosts, saved model IDs, tool responses, and complete reasoning/tool/image/video history. No unused runtime metadata is introduced.

References: global Anthropic compatibility, China Anthropic compatibility. This follows the guidance-only approach retained in #347; #299 remains superseded.

Test plan

  • Exercised the change locally: 70 focused provider/configuration tests pass with frozen root dependencies.
  • bun run check passes (format, lint, typecheck).
  • Exact-head platform CI passes bun run build, the full bun test suite, and package smoke checks on Ubuntu 24.04/26.04, macOS 15/26, and Windows. Ubuntu 26.04 reports 805 pass, 4 skip, 0 fail across 112 files.
  • Exact-head quality CI passes frozen source/web installs, formatting, lint, and type checking.
  • Local build limitation: the shared build lock timed out after 1,800 seconds before starting the build, then disk fell below the workspace's 100 GiB floor for new heavy setup. The local pre-build suite reported 792 pass, 4 skip, and 13 missing-dist/ failures; the complete build and suite were subsequently verified through the passing CI run on this commit.
  • Noted limitations: HTTP responses are mocked; no paid inference or account availability check was performed. Explicit model selection and transport behavior are unchanged.

Checklist

  • Branch is based on main (do not open PRs from commits already on main)
  • bun test passes (CI on the exact PR head)
  • bun run typecheck passes (or N/A)
  • bun run check passes (format + lint + typecheck; or N/A)
  • Docs / README updated when behavior or contribution process changes

Align translated READMEs and provider comments with the M3.1 Flash recommendation, and cover the current api.minimax.cn host in endpoint tests.
