Manifest Adds Support for MiniMax Token Plans with M2.7 Model

Manifest, an open source routing layer that sends OpenClaw requests to the cheapest capable model, now supports MiniMax token plans. This integration allows Manifest to route simpler tasks to MiniMax models, which the source notes are often the most cost-efficient option.
MiniMax M2.7 Model Details
The MiniMax M2.7 model was specifically built for OpenClaw workflows with training focused on multi-agent collaboration, dynamic tool search, and production-grade debugging. According to the source, it achieves benchmark scores of 62.7 on MM-ClawBench and 56.2 on SWE-Bench Pro, placing it in similar performance territory as Sonnet 4.6 and GPT 5.4.
Pricing and Practical Impact
MiniMax token plans start at $10/month. At this price point, Manifest can route simpler OpenClaw tasks to the M2.7 model, keeping costs minimal. The source states that most Manifest users reduce their AI model costs by 60-80% through this routing approach.
How Manifest Works
Manifest automatically routes each OpenClaw request to the cheapest model capable of handling the task. For simpler tasks, it frequently selects MiniMax models due to their cost efficiency. The tool is available on GitHub at github.com/mnfst/manifest.
