 - **Cost-sensitive projects** needing unlimited local inference
 - **Privacy requirements** where code cannot leave your infrastructure
 - **Experimentation** with open-source model capabilities
 
-**Note:** GLM-4.7 does not support image attachments. Kimi K2.5 does support images. For image-based workflows, use Claude, GPT, or Kimi models.
+**Note:** GLM-4.7 and MiniMax M2.5 do not support image attachments. Kimi K2.5 does support images. MiniMax M2.5 is the cheapest model available (0.12× multiplier) and uniquely supports reasoning (Low/Medium/High) among Droid Core models. For image-based workflows, use Claude, GPT, or Kimi models.
 
 To use open-source models, you'll need to configure them via BYOK with a local inference server (like Ollama) or a hosted provider. See [BYOK documentation](/cli/configuration/byok) for setup instructions.
