About MAX CLI: This project is based on mmx-cli by MiniMax. We loved the clean CLI interface and powerful features of mmx-cli, but wanted to use it with multiple AI providers beyond MiniMax. MAX CLI maintains the same command structure and format while adding support for 40+ providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, and many more.

Features

• Multi-Provider — 40+ AI providers in one CLI (OpenAI, Anthropic, MiniMax, DeepSeek, etc.)
• Text Chat — Multi-turn chat, streaming, system prompts, JSON output
• Image Generation — DALL-E, FLUX, Grok Imagine, MiniMax Image, and more
• Video Generation — MiniMax Hailuo, xAI Grok Video, Replicate, Together AI
• Speech (TTS) — OpenAI TTS, MiniMax Speech, Mistral Voxtral, TTS.ai
• Music — MiniMax Music (lyrics, instrumental, cover generation)
• Vision — Image understanding via chat (OpenAI, Anthropic, MiniMax)
• Web Search — MiniMax search integration
• Custom Providers — Add any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
