I want to report an issue I encountered when using the MiniMax model through the API in Cursor IDE.
Title: <think> and </think> tags are visibly displayed in chat responses when using the API in Cursor IDE
Problem Description: When integrating the MiniMax model via API Key in Cursor IDE, the internal reasoning tags <think> and </think> appear visible in chat responses. These tags should be hidden from the end user, displaying only the final response content.
Expected behavior: The <think> and </think> tags should be hidden in the user interface Only the processed response content should be displayed without internal metadata
Current behavior: Tags appear literally in the text: <think>reasoning text</think> The model's internal reasoning content is exposed to the user
Technical details: Model: MiniMax (via API) Environment: Cursor IDE Integration method: API Key
Date: February 13, 2026 Impact: Degraded user experience Content difficult to read due to visible markup
Confusion about response formatting Evidence: See attached screenshot showing the issue.
