Summary

  • Add MiniMax as an alternative LLM provider for the Bot abstraction, supporting MiniMax-M2.7, MiniMax-M2.5, and MiniMax-M2.5-highspeed models
  • MiniMax uses an OpenAI-compatible API, so integration is achieved via a configurable base_url on BotConfig -- zero new dependencies required
  • Auto-detects MiniMax provider from model name prefix; fully backward compatible with existing OpenAI usage

Changes

Go Backend (pkg/abstractions/experimental/bot/)

  • types.go: Add BaseUrl field to BotConfig (omitempty for backward compatibility)
  • interface.go: Use openai.DefaultConfig() + NewClientWithConfig() when BaseUrl is set, falls back to openai.NewClient() for OpenAI

Python SDK (sdk/src/beta9/abstractions/experimental/bot/)

  • bot.py: Add MiniMax models to VALID_MODELS, add base_url parameter with auto-detection for MiniMax models, add PROVIDER_BASE_URLS dict

Tests

  • interface_test.go: 8 Go unit tests for BotConfig, BaseUrl, MiniMax models, container ID parsing
  • test_bot_standalone.py: 21 Python tests (unit + integration) covering model validation, provider config, Go backend changes, and MiniMax API integration

Documentation

  • README.md: Add multi-provider LLM support (OpenAI + MiniMax) to features list

Usage

from beam import Bot

# OpenAI (existing, unchanged)
bot = Bot(model="gpt-4o", api_key="sk-...")

# MiniMax (new - base_url auto-detected from model name)
bot = Bot(model="MiniMax-M2.7", api_key="minimax-api-key")

# Any OpenAI-compatible provider (explicit base_url)
bot = Bot(model="custom-model", api_key="key", base_url="https://custom-api.com/v1")

Test plan

  • Go unit tests pass (8 tests)
  • Python unit tests pass (18 tests)
  • Python integration tests pass with MiniMax API (3 tests)
  • Backward compatible - no changes to existing OpenAI behavior
  • Manual verification with deployed bot using MiniMax model

Summary by cubic

Add MiniMax as an alternative LLM provider for the Bot, with automatic provider detection and OpenAI‑compatible base_url support. Existing OpenAI behavior is unchanged; no new dependencies.

  • New Features
    • Supports MiniMax models: M2.7, M2.5, M2.5‑highspeed.
    • Go: add BaseUrl to BotConfig; use openai.NewClientWithConfig when set.
    • Python SDK: add base_url param; auto‑set MiniMax URL for MiniMax-*; extend VALID_MODELS.
    • Tests/Docs: add Go and Python tests; README notes multi‑provider LLM support.

Written for commit 16ae47e. Summary will update on new commits.

Add MiniMax (MiniMax-M2.7, MiniMax-M2.5, MiniMax-M2.5-highspeed) as an
alternative LLM provider alongside OpenAI for the Bot abstraction. MiniMax
uses an OpenAI-compatible API, so this is achieved by adding a configurable
base_url to BotConfig and auto-detecting the provider from the model name.

Changes:
- Go backend: Add BaseUrl field to BotConfig, use openai.DefaultConfig() +
  NewClientWithConfig() when base URL is provided
- Python SDK: Add MiniMax models to VALID_MODELS, add base_url parameter
  with auto-detection for MiniMax models
- Tests: 8 Go unit tests + 21 Python unit/integration tests
- README: Add multi-provider LLM support to features list
