MiniMax 
WaveSpeed Structured, high-fidelity AI music generation
MiniMax Music 2.5 is an AI music generation model developed by MiniMax and released in January 2025. It is designed to address two longstanding challenges in AI-generated music: precise structural control over song arrangement and high-fidelity audio output that closely resembles professionally recorded sound. The model supports 14 distinct structural tags — including Intro, Bridge, Interlude, Build-up, and Hook — giving users paragraph-level control over how a song is organized from start to finish.
MiniMax Music 2.5 is well-suited for musicians, content creators, filmmakers, and developers who need complete, structurally defined songs without access to a recording studio. Users can generate full tracks by providing text prompts and selecting structural and stylistic options, making the workflow accessible to creators at varying levels of music production experience. The model is available through MiniMax's platform and is accessible on MindStudio without requiring separate API key setup.
What Minimax Music 2.5 supports
Text Prompt Generation
Generates full music tracks from natural language text prompts describing genre, mood, instrumentation, or style. Users describe what they want and the model produces a complete audio output.
Structural Song Control
Supports paragraph-level tag control with 14 distinct structural elements including Intro, Bridge, Interlude, Build-up, and Hook, allowing precise arrangement of a song's layout.
High-Fidelity Audio Output
Reproduces instrument tones and acoustic characteristics at a level of detail described as physics-level fidelity, producing output intended to sound like studio-recorded music.
Instrumental Music Generation
Generates instrumental-only tracks without vocals, a capability introduced in the Music 2.5+ update for use cases requiring background or score-style music.
Style and Genre Selection
Accepts select-type inputs for configuring musical style and genre parameters, enabling structured control over the character of generated output beyond free-text prompts.
