MaxClaw

MaxClaw is an official cloud-hosted AI agent built by MiniMax on the open-source OpenClaw framework, powered by the 229B-parameter MiniMax M2.5 model. It focuses on one-click deployment, requiring no server, Docker, or manual API key management, and can bring an always-on intelligent assistant online within 10 seconds. MaxClaw supports persistent long-term memory of over 200,000 tokens, can remember past conversations, user preferences, and work habits, and supports custom names, personalities, and behavioral styles. It natively integrates with Telegram, Discord, and Slack, and can be invoked in commonly used communication channels with one click. Its toolchain inherits the OpenClaw ecosystem, supporting complex multi-step workflows such as web browsing, code execution, file analysis, automation scripts, and schedule management. The official claim is that it provides intelligence close to frontier models at about 1/7 to 1/20 of the cost, making it suitable for high-frequency automation tasks.

About this tool

Purpose

MaxClaw is an official cloud-hosted AI agent launched by MiniMax, built on the open-source OpenClaw framework and powered by the MiniMax M2.5 foundation model. Its goal is to provide users with an intelligent assistant that stays online long-term without needing to set up their own server, configure Docker, or manage API keys, making it suitable for users who want to quickly experience AI agent capabilities and for those who need to embed AI into daily communication and automation workflows.

Main Capabilities

  • One-click deployment: After clicking "Deploy Now", the entire cloud environment is set up within 10 seconds, hosted by MiniMax infrastructure, and always online.
  • Long-term memory: It has persistent long-term memory of more than 200,000 tokens, can recall previous conversations, adapt to user preferences, and gradually understand the user's working style over time.
  • Custom personality: You can define the agent's name, personality, and behavioral characteristics, such as a professional research assistant, creative writing mentor, or technical programming partner.
  • Toolchain: It fully inherits the OpenClaw tool ecosystem, supporting web browsing, code execution, file analysis, automation scripts, and schedule management, and can autonomously handle complex multi-step workflows.
  • Multi-platform integration: It can connect to Telegram, Discord, and Slack with one click, allowing the agent to run directly in the communication channels users use every day.
  • Cost efficiency: Officially stated to be powered by the M2.5 model, it can provide intelligence comparable to Claude 3.5 Sonnet at about 1/7 to 1/20 of the cost, making it suitable for high-frequency automation tasks.

Underlying Model

MaxClaw is powered by the MiniMax M2.5 model. This model uses a Mixture of Experts (MoE) architecture, with a total of about 229 billion parameters, activating only about 10 billion parameters per token. MiniMax's model uses a hybrid attention architecture, alternating 7 layers of Lightning Attention with 1 layer of traditional SoftMax attention. Lightning Attention is a linear attention mechanism that can eliminate the quadratic scaling bottleneck of standard Transformers. The official claim is that M2.5 supports a context window of 200,000 to 1 million tokens, with inference speeds of up to 100 tokens per second.

How to Use

The official startup stepsAs follows:

  1. Visit the MiniMax Agent platform and enter the deployment panel.
  2. In the left navigation bar, select MaxClaw to begin the setup process.
  3. Click the "Deploy Now" button for one-click cloud deployment, and the agent will go live within 10 seconds.
  4. Follow the prompts to bind Telegram, Discord, or Slack, and you can start conversing with the AI agent.

Applicable Scenarios

  • Non-technical users who want to use an AI agent without technical configuration.
  • Developers and researchers who need complex toolchains for automation, long-text analysis, code generation, and multi-step reasoning.
  • Users who want to use AI directly within existing communication channels such as Telegram, Discord, and Slack.
  • Individuals and teams seeking a low-cost, high-performance, maintenance-free cloud AI assistant.

Ecosystem Comparison and Limitations

  • Compared with Kimi Claw: both are managed cloud services. MaxClaw focuses on agent performance and lower cost; Kimi Claw is launched by Moonshot AI, deeply integrated with the Kimi browser ecosystem, and emphasizes large-capacity cloud storage (40 GB) and more than 5,000 community skills.
  • Compared with OpenClaw: OpenClaw is the original open-source framework, flexible but with relatively high resource consumption, typically requiring more than 1.5 GB of memory and a Node.js runtime (about 390 MB overhead), and requiring Docker or manual server configuration; MaxClaw is its official managed version, handling all infrastructure in the cloud.
  • Pricing method: The official information mentions that MiniMax Agent provides a free entry tier, with production workloads billed by usage; specific prices and quotas are not yet provided.
  • Company background: MiniMax was founded in 2021 and is one of China's "AI Six Tigers," and was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on January 9, 2026. Its product ecosystem also includes Hailuo AI and Xingye (Talkie), among others.
