I understand the disappointment if minimax 2.7 does not become open weights but we have had a lot..

I have powerful hardware, and often the model I use for a specific task isn't the "best". Right now, I'm fixing bugs on a website using qwen coder next simply because minimax 2.5 Q4 is much slower for this specific task than Alibaba's "no think" model. Bottom line: Using smaller, more open tools, we can still achieve excellent results. See Qwen 27b.

From what I understand from reading about the new "self-evolution" architecture, Minimax 2.7 might not have the same performance when run locally outside of this architecture (sandbox?). Could this be the reason blocking the release of the open source code?

I don't know what the future holds for open source, but thanks to the past few months, they've been exciting, and I remain optimistic. We have so many opportunities that just six months ago seemed like a mirage. We all know that benchmarks mean little compared to real-world use cases. But looking at these numbers, I don't think there's anything to cry about.
