Instructions to use MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7 with libraries, inference providers, notebooks, and local apps. Follow these links to get started.

Libraries

How to use MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7 with Transformers:

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
pipe(messages)

# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7", trust_remote_code=True)
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
	messages,
	add_generation_prompt=True,
	tokenize=True,
	return_dict=True,
	return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions" \
	-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
	--data '{
		"model": "MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7",
		"messages": [
			{
				"role": "user",
				"content": "What is the capital of France?"
			}
		]
	}'

Use Docker

docker model run hf.co/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2.7

GLM-5.1 open ！ >>> MiniMax-M2.7 open ！ >>> Qwen 3.6 closed ！

"MiniMax-M2.7 set a bad precedent first by making its new version closed-source and paid.
Then Alibaba's Qwen 3.6 followed this bad example,
and GLM-5.1 did the same. A few days ago,
GLM-5.1 went open-source again,
and now MiniMax-M2.7 has also gone open-source.
As of right now,
Qwen 3.6 remains closed-source and paid."

Agreed the change in license sucks but Qwen team says they're committed to open weights

I'd rather say MiniMax is doing weight-available jobs rather than open sourcing.. But better than nothing

I agree with the sentiment of your post, but unfortunately MiniMax is NOT Open Source. The tag says "modified MIT", but the modification they make means it is NOT Open Source (per OSI definition). The license says:

NON-COMMERCIAL LICENSE
Non-commercial use permitted based on MIT-style terms; commercial use requires prior written authorization.

That is NOT open source.

Qwen3.6 is openweight. The Plus and Max series of the Qwen Family will always be closed source
