Chinese MiniMax Prepares to Launch Open Source Model with 2.7 Trillion Parameters
Chinese company MiniMax has announced the upcoming release of an open-source AI model with 2.7 trillion parameters, significantly surpassing previous developments.
Chinese company MiniMax is preparing to launch an open-source model with a staggering 2.7 trillion parameters (MiniMax Pro). The launch could take place as early as July to September. This will make it significantly larger than any Chinese model currently on the market, and more than six times larger than the current MiniMax M3 model.
The wave of open AI models from China shows no signs of slowing down. It seems that this is just the beginning.
