MiniMax-M2-her is a role-play model from MiniMax, presented in the company's research post as the outcome of three years of iterating its models toward deeper role-play. The announcement frames it as a role-play agent built for production use: one that keeps interactions consistent with an established fictional setting and characters, advances narratives with more varied prose rather than repetitive patterns, and adapts to a user's style and habits without explicit instruction.
