Command

sglang serve \
  --model-path MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7 \
  --tp 4 \
  --tool-call-parser minimax-m2 \
  --reasoning-parser minimax-append-think \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --mem-fraction-static 0.85

Testing Deployment: After startup, you can test the SGLang OpenAI-compatible API with the following command:

Command

curl http://localhost:30000/v1/chat/completions \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
        "model": "MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7",
        "messages": [
            {"role": "system", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "You are a helpful assistant."}]},
            {"role": "user", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "Who won the world series in 2020?"}]}
        ]
    }'

Simple Completion Example:

Example

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="http://localhost:30000/v1",
    api_key="EMPTY"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Who won the world series in 2020?"}
    ],
    max_tokens=1024
)

print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Example Output:

Output

<think>The user asks: "Who won the World Series in 2020?" That's a simple factual question. The answer: the Los Angeles Dodgers won the 2020 MLB World Series, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays. So answer accordingly.

We must be mindful of policy: it's a factual question about sports. It's allowed. Provide answer with brief context.

We should answer concisely.

Hence final answer: The Los Angeles Dodgers won the 2020 World Series, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays in six games (best-of-seven series). Possibly mention it was played at a neutral site due to COVID-19, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

We must avoid disallowed content, no issue.

Thus final.
</think>

The **Los Angeles Dodgers** won the 2020 World Series. They defeated the **Tampa Bay Rays** in six games (4‑2) in a best‑of‑seven series that was played at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, under the MLB bubble‑like arrangements for the COVID‑19 pandemic.

4.2 Advanced Usage

4.2.1 Reasoning Parser

MiniMax-M2.7 supports Thinking mode. Enable the reasoning parser during deployment to separate the thinking and the content sections:

Command

sglang serve \
  --model-path MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7 \
  --tp 4 \
  --reasoning-parser minimax-append-think \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --mem-fraction-static 0.85

Streaming with Thinking Process With minimax-append-think, the thinking content is wrapped in <think>...</think> tags within the content field. You can parse these tags on the client side to separate the thinking and content sections:

Example

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="http://localhost:30000/v1",
    api_key="EMPTY"
)

# Enable streaming to see the thinking process in real-time
response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Solve this problem step by step: What is 15% of 240?"}
    ],
    max_tokens=2048,
    stream=True
)

# Process the stream, separating <think>...</think> from content
in_think = False
think_printed_header = False
content_printed_header = False
buffer = ""

for chunk in response:
    if chunk.choices and len(chunk.choices) > 0:
        delta = chunk.choices[0].delta
        if delta.content:
            buffer += delta.content

            while buffer:
                if in_think:
                    # Look for closing </think> tag
                    end_idx = buffer.find("</think>")
                    if end_idx != -1:
                        print(buffer[:end_idx], end="", flush=True)
                        buffer = buffer[end_idx + len("</think>"):]
                        in_think = False
                    else:
                        # Still in thinking, print what we have
                        print(buffer, end="", flush=True)
                        buffer = ""
                else:
                    # Look for opening <think> tag
                    start_idx = buffer.find("<think>")
                    if start_idx != -1:
                        # Print any content before <think>
                        before = buffer[:start_idx]
                        if before:
                            if not content_printed_header:
                                print("=============== Content =================", flush=True)
                                content_printed_header = True
                            print(before, end="", flush=True)
                        buffer = buffer[start_idx + len("<think>"):]
                        in_think = True
                        if not think_printed_header:
                            print("=============== Thinking =================", flush=True)
                            think_printed_header = True
                    else:
                        # No <think> tag, print as content
                        if not content_printed_header and think_printed_header:
                            print("\n=============== Content =================", flush=True)
                            content_printed_header = True
                        print(buffer, end="", flush=True)
                        buffer = ""

print()

Output Example:

Output

=============== Thinking =================
The user asks: "Solve this problem step by step: What is 15% of 240?" Straightforward. Provide solution: 15% = 15/100 = 0.15. Multiply 240 * 0.15 = 36. Show steps. So answer: 36. Provide explanation.

But also ensure we follow any policy? No issues. Just straightforward.

I'll provide a step-by-step solution.

Also could show fraction: 15% = 15/100 = 3/20, multiply 240 * 3/20 = (240/20)*3 = 12*3 = 36.

Yes. Provide final answer. Also show verification: 10% of 240 is 24, 5% is 12, total 36.

All good.

=============== Content =================

**Step‑by‑step solution**

1. **Convert the percent to a decimal (or a fraction).**

   15% = 15/100 = 0.15 = 3/20

2. **Multiply the original number (240) by this decimal/fraction.**

   Using the decimal:
   240 × 0.15 = 36

   Or using the fraction:
   240 × 3/20 = (240/20) × 3 = 12 × 3 = 36

3. **Result:**

   15% of 240 = **36**

*Check:*
- 10% of 240 = 24
- 5% of 240 = 12
- Adding them: 24 + 12 = 36, which matches the calculation.

Note: The minimax-append-think reasoning parser embeds the thinking process in <think>...</think> tags within the content field. The code above parses these tags in real-time to display thinking and content separately.

4.2.2 Tool Calling

MiniMax-M2.7 supports tool calling capabilities. Enable the tool call parser:

Command

sglang serve \
  --model-path MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7 \
  --tp 4 \
  --tool-call-parser minimax-m2 \
  --reasoning-parser minimax-append-think \
  --trust-remote-code \
  --mem-fraction-static 0.85

Python Example:

Example

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="http://localhost:30000/v1",
    api_key="EMPTY"
)

# Define available tools
tools = [
    {
        "type": "function",
        "function": {

                    }
                },
                "required": ["location"]
            }
        }
    }
]
