[MiniMax Plans to Launch 2.7 Trillion Parameter Large Model] According to Global Market Broadcast, sources reveal that the artificial intelligence company MiniMax is developing a new large language model with 2.7 trillion parameters, surpassing all domestically produced AI large models currently on the market. Sources indicate that this new model is expected to be released as early as the third quarter of this year. Internal employees involved in the development have given it the internal codename M3 Pro, though it is unclear whether the company will retain this name for the official public release. MiniMax plans to open-source this model. The scale of this new model is significantly larger than MiniMax's current flagship large model, M3 (428 billion parameters). Larger-scale AI models are better at handling complex reasoning and multi-step instruction-based tasks.
