MiniMax M2.7 vs GPT 5.4 (Real Coding Tasks)
In this video I take a look at MiniMax M2.7 right after the open weights dropped and compare it against GPT 5.4 on practical software tasks. I go through the benchmark context briefly, then test both models on front-end redesign, a browser-based orbital simulation, and a Laravel-to-Next.js migration to see how close MiniMax gets in real workflows. The result is much tighter than I expected, and the pricing story around the MiniMax Token Plan makes the package even more interesting. --- Links - MiniMax Token Plan 12% OFF: https://platform.minimax.io/subscribe/coding-plan?code=8wB1ENNi9L&source=link - MiniMax Platform: https://platform.minimax.io - API Documentation: https://platform.minimax.io/docs/guides/text-generation --- 🤓 Topics Covered - MiniMax M2.7 benchmarks and pricing - GPT 5.4 coding task comparison - Frontend, simulation, and migration evals --- ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 Introduction 0:58 MiniMax M2.7 overview 2:10 Benchmark overview 4:45 Task 1: Front-end redesign 7:00 Task 2: Physics simulation 9:15 Task 3: Laravel to Next.js migration 13:48 Conclusion and Token Plan --- ## Connect with me - X: https://x.com/_alejandroao - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alejandro-ao/
