Questions

What license does MiniMax-M2.7 use?
The weights are released under the MiniMax Non-Commercial License.
Can I use MiniMax-M2.7 commercially?
Not without permission. The license allows personal, non-profit and academic research use only; any commercial use needs prior written authorization from MiniMax and the attribution “Built with MiniMax M2.7”. The later MiniMax-M3 uses a community license that allows commercial use with conditions.
How much memory does MiniMax-M2.7 need?
Hugging Face metadata counts about 229B parameters, and all of them must be loaded. As a rough guide, a model takes about 2 GB per billion parameters in BF16, 1 GB in 8-bit and a little over 0.5 GB in 4-bit; the memory calculator checks which setups fit.
How many parameters does MiniMax-M2.7 have?
MiniMax does not state the count on the model card; Hugging Face metadata counts about 229B parameters in this mixture-of-experts model.
