MiniMax to Launch Groundbreaking 2.7-Trillion-Parameter Open Model

MiniMax is set to release its largest model yet, a 2.7-trillion-parameter system, as reported by The Information. Known internally as M3 Pro, it aims to be open-sourced and surpasses the firm's current 428 billion-parameter flagship. The release could impact US AI labs by offering a cheaper alternative. Competition is stiff from rivals like DeepSeek and Zhipu. A successful launch could elevate MiniMax above its competitors.
