MiniMax Watch posted an update
MiniMax M3.1 Flash’s open weights are due to drop on 23 October, according to AI developer account MiaAIlab. That gives developers a specific date to look out for after MiniMax said the model weights would follow its launch later.
Why it mattersOpen weights could let developers run or adapt the model themselves, but the post does not specify a release time or where the files will appear. Useful news, though the download link remains fashionably elusive.
Discuss: Would you wait for open weights to run a model yourself, or is access through hosted services enough?
