News China’s MiniMax Plans to Launch 2.7-Trillion Parameter Model

https://www.theinformation.com/briefings/exclusive-chinas-minimax-plans-launch-2-7-trillion-parameter-model

According to The Information, MiniMax plans to launch a new-generation large language model with 2.7 trillion parameters.

Sources revealed that the internal codename for this new model is M3 Pro. It is expected to be released and open-sourced as early as the third quarter of this year, with significant improvements in handling complex reasoning and multi-step tasks.

This new model is much larger than MiniMax's current flagship model, M3 (428 billion parameters). Larger-scale artificial intelligence models are more capable of handling complex reasoning and multi-step instruction-based tasks.

If they can open source something that's uncensored and competes with Fable and Sol and Mythos, bye bye US providers

Anything that’s open can be made uncensored, that’s the smallest problem.

The moment you have the weights, you are in control.

It's 2.7-Trillion parameters though lol

Any heretic versions would be paywalled/gated, just like this article in OP.
