🚨 **CRITICAL BUG: MiniMax Model Routing Broken**
CRITICAL BUG: MiniMax Model Routing BrokenTL;DR: OpenClaw ignores MiniMax configuration and routes everything to Anthropic Sonnet instead, causing 10x cost overruns.
Impact:
- Expected: $0.30/$1.20 per million tokens (MiniMax)
- Actual: $3/$15 per million tokens (Sonnet)
- My 16-day overcharge: $162
Reproduction:
1. Set
agents.defaults.model.primary = "minimax/MiniMax-M2.5"2. Restart gateway
3. Create any isolated session (cron, sub-agent)
4. Check usage → Shows
provider: "anthropic", model: "claude-sonnet-4-5"Evidence:
Tested 14+ cron jobs with explicit
model: "minimax/MiniMax-M2.5"Root Cause (hypothesis):
MiniMax uses
"api": "anthropic-messages"baseUrlhttps://api.minimax.io/anthropicWorkarounds: None found. Gateway restart doesn't help. Explicit model specification doesn't help.
GitHub Issue:
Config:
```json
{
"agents.defaults.model.primary": "minimax/MiniMax-M2.5",
"models.providers.minimax.baseUrl": "https://api.minimax.io/anthropic",
"models.providers.minimax.api": "anthropic-messages"
}
