MiniMax thanks community builders for quantized local runs of M3.1 Flash
Overview
MiniMax publicly thanks community builders for quantizing its 428B M3.1 Flash model so it can run on more local hardware.
In a post on X, MiniMax credits Unsloth with 2-bit Dynamic GGUF weights at 143.9 GB and names other contributors for low-bit kernels, expert offloading, and Apple Silicon and AMD ports. MiniMax says lower-bit weights reduce the memory needed to load the model and the weight data moved during decoding.
