# minimax-m2.5

Calls to the model minimax-m2.5 on SambaNova Cloud stopped working on May 18, 2026.

SambaNova Cloud retired minimax-m2.5 on May 18, 2026. Calls specifying model minimax-m2.5 fail since that date. SambaNova Cloud removed the model completely rather than redirecting traffic to a newer alternative.

## What to use instead

Move to minimax-m3. The originally recommended replacement, minimax-m2.7, stopped working on October 1, 2026.
