Pick MiniMax M2.7 if you want the stronger benchmark profile. Laguna M.1 only becomes the better choice if coding is the priority or you want the cheaper token bill.
MiniMax M2.7 is clearly ahead on the provisional aggregate, 63 to 46. The gap is large enough that you do not need to squint at the spreadsheet to see the difference.
MiniMax M2.7's sharpest advantage is in agentic, where it averages 57 against 40.7. The single biggest benchmark swing on the page is Terminal-Bench 2.0, 40.7% to 57%. Laguna M.1 does hit back in coding, so the answer changes if that is the part of the workload you care about most.
MiniMax M2.7 is also the more expensive model on tokens at $0.30 input / $1.20 output per 1M tokens, versus $0.00 input / $0.00 output per 1M tokens for Laguna M.1. That is roughly Infinityx on output cost alone. Laguna M.1 is the reasoning model in the pair, while MiniMax M2.7 is not. That usually helps on harder chain-of-thought-heavy tests, but it can also mean more latency and more token spend in real use. MiniMax M2.7 gives you the larger context window at 200K, compared with 131K for Laguna M.1.
MiniMax M2.7 is ahead on BenchLM's provisional leaderboard, 63 to 46. The biggest single separator in this matchup is Terminal-Bench 2.0, where the scores are 40.7% and 57%.
Laguna M.1 has the edge for coding in this comparison, averaging 56.4 versus 53.7. Inside this category, SWE-bench Pro is the benchmark that creates the most daylight between them.
MiniMax M2.7 has the edge for agentic tasks in this comparison, averaging 57 versus 40.7. Inside this category, Terminal-Bench 2.0 is the benchmark that creates the most daylight between them.
