MiniMax teases M3.1-Flash; FAQ lists 428B total, 23B active
AI summary
A r/LocalLLaMA poster relayed a message from MiniMax's official X account saying "MiniMax-M3.1-Flash is coming," without a date or further details. Another r/LocalLLaMA user noted that most of the official announcement omitted the parameter count, but said the FAQ on MiniMax's agent.minimax.io m3-1-flash-preview page lists the model at 428B total parameters with 23B active, and concluded from that it will not fit on two RTX 3090 GPUs. The figures come from a user's reading of that page and have not been confirmed in MiniMax's main announcement.
In-depth insight
If the 428B/23B figures hold, M3.1-Flash would be a mixture-of-experts model far beyond consumer-GPU capacity, making how MiniMax releases and serves it the point to watch.
