MiniMax

MiniMax is an AI company building generative models across multiple modalities, with a focus that spans both language understanding and audio creation. Their rapid release cadence in early 2026—delivering several new models within just a few months—reflects…

MiniMax Music 2.5 is a text-to-song model from MiniMax that turns a style prompt plus lyrics into a full track with synthesized vocals, layered instrumentation, and professional mixing. Like earlier MiniMax music models, it supports structure tags such as Intro, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, and Outro, and accepts lyrics up to 3,500 characters. It also adds an instrumental-only mode and a lyrics optimizer that generates lyrics from a prompt when the lyrics field is left empty.

Compared with the previous generation, Music 2.0, MiniMax describes 2.5 as breaking through two bottlenecks it calls "paragraph-level precision control" and "physical-grade high fidelity." Per the company, 2.5 opens full-section tag control across 14 structural variations, expands its sound library to over 100 instruments, and optimizes mixing to keep vocals and accompaniment cleanly separated. MiniMax also reports systematic optimization of vocal generation, style modeling, and mixing, with vocal emotion that evolves progressively across sections.

Within the same family, this version sits between Music 2.0 and the newer Music 2.6, which according to MiniMax's documentation adds an AI Cover feature for restyling existing songs while preserving melody, on top of the instrumental mode and lyrics optimizer.

Both a style description and lyrics drive each generation.
