Why we included this project

MiniMax-01 pairs a text model with a vision-language counterpart, and both share an unusual design decision: linear attention rather than the full-attention transformer most large models rely on. That choice is what lets the text model hold a million tokens of context while keeping training and inference costs below what a comparably sized dense model would demand. Teams dealing with long documents, agent workflows that need broad conversation memory, or multimodal inputs that also run long will find the released weights, training details, and benchmark results worth studying. Just size your hardware before planning local deployment: at 456 billion parameters with only a fraction active per token, this is not a laptop-friendly model.
