- Can I use MiniMax-M3 commercially through EcoHash?
- EcoHash hosts MiniMax-M3 under the model publisher's own licence and does not change its terms, so whether your use is permitted is decided by that licence — read it on the model publisher's own licence. The EcoHash Terms of Service additionally require you to comply with each model's licence and acceptable-use policy. Your EcoHash bill for API usage is separate from, and does not grant, any right under the model's licence.
