When to use MiniMax Voice Clone

Updated 2026-07-31

Where this model earns its cost — and where it doesn't.

This model takes an audio input and returns a voice_id that can be passed to the /v1/audio/speech endpoint with MiniMax HD or Turbo models. The cloning process is billed as a single flat call, after which the generated ID is used for subsequent text-to-speech generation.

Requests route through an OpenAI-compatible base URL using a single platform API key. Every call receives automatic failover if a serving path degrades, and the response includes the exact cost in usage.cost alongside an X-Kyma-Model header identifying the executed model.

The model does not support reasoning, vision, or structured outputs, and it operates strictly as an audio-to-audio utility. It has a medium speed tier and is classified in the premium cost tier. It is intended solely for voice profile creation, not for direct text-to-speech conversion.
