  • The post asks whether others are also waiting for open weights for Minimax M2.7, implying a community-wide desire for greater availability.
  • The discussion centers on deployment practicality and model accessibility rather than technical performance claims or a new release announcement.

I have M2.5 running perfectly here and I have been wanting to upgrade to M2.7, Anyone else in the same boat?
