Key Points
- A Reddit post by user /u/tarruda claims that Minimax 2.7 will use closed weights, meaning the model's weights would not be publicly downloadable.
- The claim cites a linked X status from TeksEdge and a Reddit thread in the LocalLLaMA community as sources.
- If true, closed weights would limit reproducibility and open research, impacting developers and researchers who rely on open access.
- There is no official confirmation from Minimax or its developers cited in the post, so the information should be treated as a rumor.
