Picked by rule from 16 tracked pieces: the lab's own post, the most shared, a field report, the latest.
MiniMax released M2.7, an agentic model that improved its own code over 100 rounds without human direction, achieving a 30% performance boost.
MiniMax M2 is a 62-layer decoder-only transformer with 229.9 billion total parameters and a 196,608 token context window.
The 5 picks above, plus these 11. Top is the radar's score: discussion, source authority and the lab's own posts, fading with age.
Live hosted endpoints, cheapest first, USD per million tokens. Ties break on output price, then provider name.
2 providers with a live price, from $0.26 to $0.30 per million input tokens; the median is $0.28. One dot per provider, cheapest in teal.
Hugging Face does not say who downloads a model or with what. These are the proxies: API providers listing it, quantized builds, fine-tunes/adapters/merges, and Spaces that load it.
Served by 3 API providers; 39 quantized builds for local use.

Weights only, an estimate: leave room for the KV cache. Method
About 137 GB at INT4, 274 GB at FP8, 549 GB at BF16: weights only, so leave room for the KV cache. Every expert must be resident, so total parameters count.

Labels are evidence, not verdicts: measured a third-party leaderboard row for this model; author-reported a number the model author published in the card or eval files; structural a deterministic signal from the name, config or chat template, or a decision-model estimate. Each chip links to its source. All use cases.

Ranked by source signals (HN, Lobsters, authority domains, official posts) and recency. Summaries are generated from a stored copy of the article text; every sentence cites a span of that text, and nothing is shown that failed the citation check.
arXiv links found in the model card and its tags. "Peer-reviewed" is shown only with evidence: a published venue in OpenAlex (measured) or the authors' own journal reference on arXiv (reported).
