MiniMax is not available for local use. Change config.ini

Error message

MiniMax is not available for local use. Change config.ini

What it means

minimax_fn refuses to run when self.is_local is True. MiniMax is a hosted cloud API accessed via its OpenAI-compatible endpoint, so a local configuration is rejected immediately with 'MiniMax is not available for local use. Change config.ini'.

Solutions

1. Set is_local=False for the minimax provider in config.ini
2. Confirm the provider block name matches the provider being used so the right flags apply
3. If offline inference is needed, switch to a genuinely local provider (LM Studio, Ollama)

Example fix

// before (config.ini)
[minimax]
is_local = True
// after
[minimax]
is_local = False

cfg = config['minimax']
if cfg.get('is_local', False):
    raise SystemExit("minimax is cloud-only; set is_local = False in config.ini")
if not os.getenv('MINIMAX_API_KEY'):
    raise SystemExit("MINIMAX_API_KEY not set")

try:
    out = provider.minimax_fn(history)
except Exception as e:
    if 'not available for local use' in str(e):
        log.error("Set is_local = False for minimax in config.ini")
    raise

When it happens

Trigger: Calling minimax_fn while the minimax provider in config.ini has is_local set to True (or the provider is incorrectly resolved as local).

Common situations: User set a global local-mode flag applying to all providers; user copied a local provider block (e.g. lmstudio) and changed only the provider name; misunderstanding that MiniMax's OpenAI-compatible base URL means it can run locally.
